That depends. Most city tours, including walking, biking, and museum-guided tours, are between US$50 and US$100. But, you can find hop-on, hop-off bus tours for as low as US$25 a person and boat tours that travel between the Greek islands and last for multiple days, reaching upwards of US$5,000 for your group.

On the lower end of the price range, you can book tours such as the Self-Guided Tour in Athens for around US$3 per person. The audio tour offers 100-plus locations that you can choose from, including St. Sophia’s Church of Acropolis, Parthenon, Tempio Di Zeus Olimpio, and many more. It doesn’t include a live tour guide or admission to any attractions. Pricier options include VIP experiences such as a Private Boat Trip to Hydra and Poros to Discover the Saronic Gems (from around US$3,200 per group of up to 10), which is completely private and offers visits to two stunning islands and snorkeling equipment for your whole group.

On this tour, a knowledgeable local guide will share insider knowledge and provide skip-the-line tickets so that you make the most of your 8-hour tour.
