See the Acropolis, Agora, stadium, guard ceremony, Lycabettus, Plaka, and more, with port or hotel pickup.

“Absolutely perfect experience. Our driver, George, picked us up at 8 from our hotel to start our tour. Because it was a holiday there was no traffic initially so we did an overall tour of the city and its key places before it got crowded. Also, because it was a holiday, there were no fees for entrance into any of Athens' exhibits. A blessing and curse. After 10 am the crowds at the Acropolis etc became expansive. It took more time to walk around and enjoy all the sights, because of the crowds, but George was very patient. Dropped us off very close to the entrances and retrieved us quickly…”
