Private Athens Walking Tour with George

Sometimes you want the walk to be just yours. No other guests, no fixed start time, no set route. Just you, your people, and someone who knows the city inside out. That's what a private Athens walking tour with George is: the same hidden hill viewpoints and local knowledge as the small-group walks, built entirely around your group.

Whether it's a family with kids, a couple who want to take it slow, or a few friends who want to push up two summits before breakfast, the day bends to you. I've spent 17 years walking these hills, and a private walk is where I get to tailor every part of it (the pace, the stops, the stories) to exactly who's in front of me.

The three standard walks are a good starting point: the sunrise hike up Lycabettus, the Conquer Lycabettus climb, and the two-summit hills climb. But on a private walk none of them are fixed. Want the sunrise summit followed by a slow breakfast? A gentler loop with more stops for older walkers? Both hills at a proper pace for a fit group? Just say so.

Tell George who's coming, what you're into and how much walking you're up for, and he'll shape the morning or evening around it. If you're still deciding what you want to see, the walking itinerary and the honest take on whether Athens is walkable are good places to start.

The walks involve hills and uneven, sometimes slippery, stone and marble paths, so a reasonable level of mobility helps. But "private" means the difficulty is dialled to your group. George can keep it gentle and flat-ish with short optional climbs, or make it a proper workout. Whatever suits the people walking.

If anyone in your group has specific needs (knees, little legs, a slower pace, a fear of heights), mention it when you enquire. George would far rather plan around it in advance than surprise anyone on the trail.
