Greece · CITY TOURS
Every trip is one free day short. These 15 city tours earn the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes rather than an evening.
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.”
Explore Athens by open-top double-decker bus, then add Piraeus and the Athenian Riviera if your pass allows. Ride past the Acropolis, Plaka, museums, marinas, beaches, and Vouliagmeni Lake with audio commentary in 13 languages. A guide named Teddy is also associated with some hosted Athens experiences.
“The Athens HoHo has excellent routes, one inside of Athens proper that goes to or near all the major antiquity sites and museums. Then another that does outlying neighborhoods and a beach route. The drivers and personnel at the busy stops were super friendly and full of information and pointers about the routes. The Red Line is a great economical way to take an appox two hour trip around Athens major tourist sites and beyond.”
Use a one-day pass on Corfu’s Kanoni route, with optional Achilleion service, to see the Old Town, two fortresses, Kanoni, Mouse Island, and palace gardens. Multilingual audio comes in eight languages, and frequent buses make this a practical choice for a short port stop.
“Riding in the top of a roofless bus through Corfu was so fun. At some points we had to be aware of the overhanging trees. The history and culture are astounding. The wait times were not bad at all.”
Use the Turbopass Athens City Pass for 1 to 5 days of sightseeing, including timed Acropolis entry, the New Acropolis Museum, eight more museums, and a 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus ticket. Add a cruise to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina with lunch and hotel transfer.
“it was all we could expect. great value. easy to use and access”
Start near Acropolis metro station for a guided 2.5-hour bike ride through Athens. Expect major sights, quiet routes, Acropolis views, a cathedral coffee break, and local tips from guides such as Maria, Marios, Karolus, and Dimitris.
“it was an easy ride and explored the city. K was very good on information”
Walk from Syntagma Square through Athens highlights, watch the Changing of the Guards, then visit the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Guides such as Tina, Olesya, Apollon, and Annie bring mythology and archaeology to life. Expect about 5.5 hours, lots of walking, uneven stone, and optional entrance tickets.
“It’s hot. Have a hat and sunscreen and water. Fantastic day. Do the entire tour with the guide including buying and getting a tour of the museum.”
Cover a remarkable stretch of Athens in three hours on a small, pedal-assist e-bike. English or German-speaking guides such as Andreas and Konstantinos lead you through markets, neoclassical streets, ancient sights, and local neighborhoods, with frequent photo stops, water, and a Greek treat included.
“Best tour ! I usually do walking tours and happy I did a bike tour this time around. Be mindful that I got an early tour and I’d say was the best time because of traffic. You’re riding your bikes through traffic and pedestrians so keep that in mind if you’re doing a later tour. Andreas was a great tour guide.”
Begin underground at Syntagma Station, where ancient tombstones, pottery, an aqueduct, and a 2,000-year-old beehive are on display. Then walk past Parliament, the National Gardens, Zeus Temple, and the Acropolis monuments before finishing beside the Parthenon. Guides include Dimitri, Sissy, Helena, and others.
“Southern approach to Acropolis was dusty and extremely rocky, almost dangerous at times. Much better to use western gate which is paved and smooth. Visitors from both entrances converged at major bottleneck at noon, which barely moved for a long time, but was not a problem at 2 pm.”
Ride a one-day loop through Rhodes City, from Mandraki Harbor and the Old Town to Monte Smith, Apollo’s Temple, the Ancient Theatre, and Stadium. You can board at any of 12 stops, stay on for the roughly 45-minute circuit, or hop off to explore. Audio commentary comes in nine languages.
“Bus tour is a great way to see main parts of the city with plenty of hop on/off points. Audio was v garbled though and not at all easy to hear what was being said. Also ran a bit late.”
Travel from Crete’s resort areas to Knossos with guides such as Soula, Christina, and Eleni, then explore Heraklion’s old market, Venetian harbor, and Archaeological Museum. The €47 tour includes transport and guiding, but site tickets and food cost extra. Expect a full, warm, busy day.
“Great Guide in terms of knowledge but everything was so over the top hurried. Would prefer to pay 10 € more and get a little more time.”
Ride a three-wheel Trikke for two hours through Mandraki Harbour, Rhodes New Town, and the Medieval City. Guide Katarina, often called Kat, gives clear training, local context, and photo help. The pace is gentle, the group holds no more than six, and the tour suits first-time riders.
“Our tour guide she was knowledgeable beyond compare . And very compare she knew everything about the area.”
Paddle the coast near Ancient Epidaurus with guides such as Alex, Oscar, Oliver, Luca, and Yannis. Walk to the Little Theatre, snorkel above a sunken city, and use a waterproof camera. The extended option adds a secluded beach, turtle sightings, and homemade Greek food.
“Everything perfect: the itinerary, the snorkeling areas, the homemade food and above all the guides: Luca, Alex, Oliver and Beka supermable and attentive. We highly recommend this experience.Auto-translated”
Join Sealand Travel for a seven-hour coach trip to Heraklion, its Pateles open-air market, Venetian Koules fortress, and CretAquarium. Your multilingual guide, sometimes including Linda, organizes the day in English, French, or German, with hotel pickup and free time for food, shopping, and sightseeing.
“It was fantastic our guide was so clear explain for as lots of informations and history about the Crete culture we love it .”
Ride an easy-to-learn electric Trikke through modern Rhodes, Mandraki Harbor, and the medieval Old Town with guide Katerina. In two hours, you will see the windmills, fortress, moat, city walls, Socrates Street, and lesser-known residential lanes in a small group of up to six.
“Katrina was amazing! She led us around Rhodes on Trikkes and we saw a lot of the town and met some friendly locals. She took the time to ensure we had a good time, she was hilarious and extremely friendly. She made us feel extremely comfortable and we were able to navigate the Trikkes successful, it’s easy to learn so I’d recommend this.”
Start at Fabrika Square for a guided walk through Mykonos Town, then ride through the island to Ornos, Agios Giannis, Kalafatis, Ano Mera, and Panagia Tourliani. English-speaking guides such as Claudio, Anna, Linda, and Zeina have led tours praised for clear local insight.
“Only downside was that ticket said 9.00 ( meaning we rushed our breakfast and walked quickly from our hotel on a very hot day to get to meeting point) but we didn't leave until 9.40 due to waiting for people to arrive who were being picked up from their hotels. We still finished by 1.00 . The guide said at the beginning the earlier we left the more we would fit in but due to our late departure we don't think we saw everything on the island tour that was listed.”
Everything on the site, sorted by the kind of day it is.
