Athens City Tour with Acropolis & Plaka from Piraeus Cruise Port

The Peloponnese spreads its ancient sites far across the region, too far to reach from Athens in a day without your own transport and a plan. A private day trip handles both, driving you from your Athens hotel to Ancient Olympia, Mycenae, and more, with the route shaped around the sites you most want to see. A guide covers the history along the way, and dinner back in Athens rounds off the day.

What are people saying about Athens

Warren_R, Jun 2026

Excellent tour to see the...

Excellent tour to see the sights by bike with knowledgeable, friendly and fun guide (Aggelos in our case). Bikes were easy to use. As long as you can ride a bike, you're good to go. Being electric and geared, it took all the hard work out of it. Helmets were provided. The bike had a rack on the back with elastics for a bag if required. There was a short stop halfway through the tour for comfort break and/or refreshments. Athens by Bike was excellent tour which I would highly recommend.

Delphi, Thermopylae, Corycian Cave 300 Spartans Small-Group Tour

Julianne_W, Jun 2026

An excellent day of sightseeing! Definitely recommend this tour and company.

We give 5 stars to our guide and 4 stars to the tour. The AC in the van was a god send (because it's late June and very hot right now) and our tour guide was so kind and willing to answer any and all questions. He was also very knowledgeable about the history of the locations on our tour. Some small downsides, nothing to pass up the tour for, but things to note. There is a lot of time in the van to get out to the distant locations, if you need a restroom you have to speak up or wait until arriving at the locations. The first stop is Arachova and we wish there were more time that little town. We had time to grab a coffee and look around for about 15 minutes, but we wanted to see more. The sights were wonderful and the lunch in Delphi was delicious. We really enjoyed the ruins and museum in Thermopylae. The drive up the caves was an exciting off road up hill drive, but our tour guide was an expert! All in all, it was a great day and the money spent was well worth it. (Do note, the cost of the trip doesn't include tickets to Thermopylae museum and ruins, nor does it cover lunch or coffee. Those are extras and the tour company does share that upfront.)

Premium Delphi Day Trip with an Expert Guide, Museum & Lunch

Paula_B, Jun 2026

Delphi

The time traveling to and from passed pretty quickly on the bus. (about 3 hours total). The site itself was very interesting, lots of interesting artifacts in the museum. The included lunch was nice with four choices for the main course. The village of Arachova was cute, but not very many shops open which was surprising for the summer month.

Incredible trip with Mr. George who shared a wealth of knowledge with us! The lake was incredible then the place he took us for lunch I’ll be dreaming about for years! Temple Of Poseidon took my breath away and it was such a beautiful and relaxing day- perfect with kids too!

Meteora Monasteries & Caves DayTrip from Athens with Greek Lunch

Margie_C, Jun 2026

Meteora live

Our guide Maria was excellent- as was our driver. Both did everything in their power to ensure our comfort and safety-Maria’s knowledge and experience is a real bonus - Wear comfortable non slip shoes - if you are not comfortable with stairs make sure at least, that St Stephen’s is open

From Athens: Small-Group Mycenae, Epidaurus & Nafplio Trip

Marianne_B, Jun 2026

Great tour

This was a great trip. Alex was a great guide and our bus driver was excellent to. It was a nice, new bus that was comfortable. It was nice to take a break in Nafplio and eat and not have to walk as the Mycenae and Epidarius stops have lots of walking...uphill! But worth it! After walking all over Athens the day before, it was nice to ride for the day and have moments of walking. They even stopped at Corinth canal which I was super happy about.

Athens: Meteora Monasteries, Caves & Coastal Stopovers with Lunch

ELIZABETH_L, Jun 2026

Extraordinary!

Maria was wonderful. Her stories of growing up the area were entertaining and insightful. The lunch was wonderful and was dinner. The 3 monasteries we toured were so beautiful and the views were stunning. I would highly recommend putting this tour at the top of your list if you plan to visit Athens.

Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounion Sunset Tour with Audio Guide

Pearl_L, Jun 2026

Stunning

The bus that leaves for the cape has a departure closer to 4:50pm, but don't be late! The views were amazing and there was more to do there than I was expecting. The food was a little more expensive than usual, but it also tasted pretty good for what it's worth. There are smaller paths that lead down to the water that not many people go to, so it can be a nice quiet spot for a romantic moment.

Athens & Acropolis Highlights: Greek Mythology Small-Group Tour

Andrew_P, Jun 2026

The Awesome Acropolis and Greek Mythology Tour

Take this tour if you are in Athens! It is an easy walk to the top of the Acropolis and there are a lot of stops along the way as our awesome guide Michael told us about each section of the historical site. Our son really enjoyed all of the detailed descriptions of the Greek Mythology behind the existence and construction of each temple or monument. The smaller group size of just 12 people per group was also a benefit as we were easily able to stay together. We highly recommend this tour!

Delphi Guided Small Group Day Tour from Athens

Theo Thagadis was exceptional!

Theo Tragadis’ private tour for us to see Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon was absolutely great. We have been fortunate to go on quite a few private tours, but our trip with Theo was among the very best guides that we have come across. His dinner recommendation to go to the Four Brothers after we visited the temple at sunset made the experience all the better. We would not have known about that exceptional family multi generational restaurant without his very insightful recommendation. (It was also one of the best meals that we had during our trip to Greece this time.) Thank you very much!

Lake Vouliagmeni Thermal Spa And Temple Of Poseidon Tour

Alexa_G, Jun 2026

Once in a lifetime experience!!

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day exploring two historic locations with guides who knew exactly how to make it special, and who truly cared about our experience! John and Christiano were excellent hosts and we have never felt more important and safe on a tour than we felt with them!! Request them if you can and take care of them because they’re good ones for sure!

Athens Day Cruise: 3 Islands Tour in the Saronic Gulf with Lunch

Tara_A, Jun 2026

Beware of flight requirements for purchases

The islands were beautiful. Lunch was good. Be careful with buying the pistachio products that I heavily recommended in terms of flight requirements. Everything I bought failed security and was thrown away. Delicious but such a waste of money. In addition the second stop is not an island but for swimming. I misunderstood the description because it gives an amount of time for each of the ‘3’ islands where one is to swim in the ocean nice but I would not define the tour as 3 islands where but as 2 islands with swimming
