Greece · ATHENS TOURS
Athens rewards an early start and a plan for the afternoon heat. Build a first visit from these 15: the rock and its museum, the food streets below it, and the trips that fit either side of a ferry.
Book a timed Acropolis entry, then visit up to five ancient sites across Athens within three days. Choose audio tours or an English live guide, and use the app to manage extra-site tickets. Early morning visits offer cooler weather and clearer views.
“Was a really good experience & the audio worked really well, woukd recommend 👌”
Book a date and entry time, receive your Acropolis ticket by email, and enter near the Acropolis metro station. Choose a self-guided audio tour, a live guide, or both. Walk from the Theater of Dionysus to the Parthenon, Erechtheion, Propylaea, and temple of Athena Nike.
“Excellent tour with Petros. He gave us a very knowledgeable tour of the Acropolis and surrounding area. A must do tour when in Athens.”
Walk Athens’ Acropolis with an English-speaking licensed guide, then visit the Acropolis Museum. Hear mythology and history at the Parthenon, see the Caryatids and Parthenon frieze, and choose a shared or private tour with ticket options.
“Brilliant! Jason is very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Athens and kept our attention for the whole tour. Lots of walking but because the information was so interesting you hardly realise how far you’ve walked! Not for people with mobility issues!”
Travel from central Athens along the Athenian Riviera to Cape Sounion by comfortable, air-conditioned coach. An English-speaking guide such as Angelina, Lydia, or Dimitra shares Greek myths and local history, then you get about two hours to explore the Temple of Poseidon and watch the sunset.
“Me and my partner really enjoyed my tour, everything organised perfectly from start to finish. Highly recommend!”
Walk from the Theatre of Dionysus to the Parthenon with an English-speaking licensed guide. You’ll hear myths and history through a personal earset, see the Erechtheion and Nike Temple, and may add Acropolis Museum entry.
“We loved our tour! Our wonderful guide made a busy tourist attraction feel accessible and helped us connect to the stories behind the location. Even our children were transfixed...and when they were flagging at the end of the tour she cleverly revealed the Lego acropolis reconstruction and boosted them 😌. we rarely book tours choosing to self guide but would 100% recommend taking this tour to get the most from your acropolis experience”
Spend about 10 hours sailing from Marina Zea to Agistri, Moni or Metopi, and Aegina. Expect a Greek buffet, wine, beer, soft drinks, snorkeling gear, music, and free time ashore. Crew members such as Sam, Mo, and Elizabeth are often praised for their friendly help.
“Totally enjoyable trip! If you like having the chance to walk on a Greek island beach and swim in the Aegean Sea in late October--you are in for a treat!”
Use one ticket across Athens, Piraeus, Glyfada, and Vouliagmeni. Ride from the cruise terminals to the Acropolis, then continue to marinas, beaches, shopping streets, and Vouliagmeni Lake with commentary in 16 languages.
“Very good price. Every 15 mins buses are driving around Athens. We used blue line to the Acropolis and Orange one around the city. I totally reccomend it!”
Walk central Athens with a local food leader, stopping six times for 12 tastings, from koulouri and Greek coffee to souvlaki, wine, olive oil, and loukoumades. You’ll visit Varvakios Agora and the spice street in a private group of up to 12. Guides include Adele, Ana, Tonia, and Maria.
“Fun, very informative of the Greek cuisine and all the food tasting were delicious. Our tour guide, Dorela, was excellent. We enjoyed all the food. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens. Come hungry since you will get a lot of food!!”
Ride from central Athens along the Athenian Riviera to Cape Sounion, where Poseidon’s Temple sits above the sea. You’ll get an audio guide in six languages, a photo stop, about 90 minutes at the site, and sunset views. George, Sotiris, Vasilis, and other escorts have earned praise for clear commentary and good humor.
“Really loved the tour! Very well organised and smooth journey, Vasilis our guide brought the vibes.”
See Athens from an open-top double-decker bus with a 24, 48, or 72-hour pass, multilingual audio, free WiFi, and stops near the Acropolis, museums, beaches, Piraeus, and Lake Vouliagmeni. You can add the Riviera and port routes for a broader look at the city.
“I liked the freedom to go where I wanted. The stops along the way were interesting and not repetitive.”
Spend 12 hours sailing from Athens to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina aboard a large, comfortable cruise ship. You’ll have free time on all three islands, a buffet lunch, multilingual hosts, audio guides, and optional hotel transfers. Guides such as Georgina and Katarina may lead island walks.
“It was worth upgrading to the VIP level! Had a fabulous time! the steward and the stewardess in the VIP cabin were par excellence with their customer service! Alex and his colleagues were amazing! They even gave me a complimentary cocktail since it was my birthday. I fell a little ilk after havinr run up and down the clocktowr stairs in Poros because I left my jacket by mistake, and was scared that the cruise would leave without me. But I was well taken care of given water and lots of kind words. Thanks again! Will 10/10 recommend it to everyone! ❤️”
Travel from Athens to Delphi with guides such as Marianna, Michael, Nikos, and Dimitris, then tour the Temple of Apollo, theater, and museum before lunch and free time in Arachova. The 10-hour trip includes transport, headsets, WiFi, and a carbon-offset approach.
“Our guide, Dimitrious, was AMAZING! He told basically the whole history of Ancient Greece, told all the important things we needed to know about Delphi and so much more. It was truly a masterclass. We also had time to wonder around Delphi by ourselves, which we always appreciate. The town of Arachova (lunch break) was a jewel. Such a cute little medieval town, we loved it soooo much.”
This 4 to 6 hour private Athens tour uses a Mercedes sedan, minivan, or Sprinter, depending on group size. Your chauffeur can collect you at a hotel, airport, cruise terminal, or Athens address, then cover major sights, provide local commentary, and finish with moussaka, Greek salad, tzatziki, dessert, and a drink.
“Seb met us at the cruise port and took us directly to the Acropolis to beat some of the crowds. We purchased our tickets in advance through the tour and saw it in our own. Seb took us to the changing off the guard and to many other sites in Greece. He escorted us and took pictures for us when he could. We finished the day with a great Greek lunch and met up with our friends who booked the same tour. Wonderful overview of Athens if you’re limited on time.”
Walk from the Theatre of Dionysus to the Parthenon and Erechtheion with a licensed archaeologist, using wireless headsets to hear every detail. Finish with a 1.5-hour guided visit to the Acropolis Museum, including its glass-floored excavation gallery.
“Artemis was our guide and was excellent. Originally thought of doing the tour on our own. So glad we didn’t because the value Artemis brought to the experience was extremely appreciated. So much information in a short time but would highly recommend.”
