From Athens: Day Tour to Mykonos

Deidre_M, Aug 2026

Mykonos Island

This was an amazing tour! It was the perfect way to visit and explore Mykonos Island! What a beautiful island it is! While Staying in Athens it’s a little difficult to venture over to the islands. So, this was extremely easy and hassle free! George was our driver and he was great! He took us to and from the port! Our tour guide was Ailki and she was amazing! Very personable and knowledgeable! This was the highlight of our trip!

Athens & Acropolis Highlights: Greek Mythology Small-Group Tour

Brittany_A, Aug 2026

Great tour! I was on the...

Great tour! I was on the fence about purchasing because I was open to doing this solo but I’m so glad I did! The guide was incredible and I learned so much. I love the way he tied in the Greek mythology with his archeology knowledge. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and made the entire experience amazing.

3 island tour

So far, this was the highlight of our trip to Greece. There was plenty of refreshments nonstop on the boat. Our tour guide Faye was great and went out of her way to make sure we had a great time. All of the staff and crew were exceptional. Definitely worth the money.

Our group enjoyed the experience!

Excellent communication, small group. Our guide was excellent: talked about history, metrology, and answered our questions. The tour was easygoing, with great timing to beat the crowd at the locations visited. Excellent choice if you want a small-group, personal experience without the hustle.

The monasteries

We had an amazing time! The monasteries were beautiful and the views were breathtaking! This was one of the highlights of our trip! Our bus driver and tour guide were both wonderful! I must admit, that the food was not great if you choose the lunch option. I highly recommend that you bring plenty of snacks, and water! It’s an extremely long day! I highly recommend this tour!

Delphi Guided Small Group Day Tour from Athens

Robert_R, Aug 2026

Delphi day trip

Good way to see Delphi from Athens for the day .comfortable mini bus transfer with guide who was very knowledgeable plus local guide when at Delphi who was an expert on the site and museum .More time at Delphi would help 30 minutes more as there is the site and museum but still great tour run on a tight schedule. Finishes off with lunch at local restaurant then drive back

Athens: Meteora Monasteries Tour, Caves, Beachfront Stops & Lunch

Hyun_w, Aug 2026

Wonderful day at Meteora!

This is a great way to visit the Mateora sites! The tour bus ride was insightful. It gave us the understanding and the background construction wonders and the difficulties through the centuries the monasteries experienced. Rather than just walking through and marveling at the beauty, the guides helped us grasp the miraculous achievements made to create such wonders. We typically just blunder through tourist sites and see them for what we see. I am glad we splurged and did the opposite at Meteora. There is so much to learn that you won’t get through a google search or a cliff notes version of what you see.

Athens Full Day Private Tour

A Wonderful Athens Experience

Athens Full Day Private Tour - Viator in coordination with Olive Sea Travel provided an awesome experience! Viator's professional driver, Terry, picked up our group of six on time in a comfortable air conditioned van from our hotel. We proceeded as a group, and picked up our licensed tour guide, Vasso, Olive Sea Travel. The skip the line tickets to the Acropolis and Ancient Agora was appreciated since it was a very hot day. We shared time together over a delicious traditional lunch: Greek Salad, Pitta Gyros, and Baklava. Visiting the Panathenaic Stadium and experiencing the Changing of the Guard ceremony in front of the Hellenic Parliament was moving. Vasso had attended the university in Athens and studied many archaeological sites. Her commentary, explanation, and information was excellent. We could not have had a better guide! The Acropolis Museum was beautiful, informative, interesting, and a must see! Thank you Vasso for making ancient history fun. And Terry, appreciate your information on Athens, landmarks, and safe driving.

Ameya_S, Jul 2026

Best Delphi Tour in Athens

It was an amazing experience. The guide Stavros was the best guide I have ever experienced. Had such calming tone and way of describing things. He was very knowledgable and thorough, and a GREAT storyteller. I and my 13 year old son were fascinated by all the stories he had to tell along the way in the bus and at the Delphi site. The tour itself was amazing. Definitely worth the visit. The bus was comfortable, the driver Vasilis was very friendly, the guide as I mentioned was the best, the Delhi site is SIMPLY MAJESTIC! To top it off, on our return, we stop at a small very beautiful city/village for our lunch. Very picturesque! Enjoyed every bit of the whole tour.

Great tour with audio, amazing sunset

Alexandra was a great guide and the GPS audio guide available during the bus ride in multiple languages was very informative. We had plenty of time at our destination to have a meal in the cafe and spend time walking around and taking pictures of the Temple of Poseidon.
