★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 15 reviews · 3 hours · from $165

See Athens highlights in three private hours, with flexible Mercedes van transport, photo stops, local insight, and clear time-saving advice.

“I’m not sure there’s much our guide could have done about the traffic and lack of parking, but because of the traffic and the crowds we were not able to get out at any of the sites to experience them up close, except to take pictures at the hilltop overlooking the Acropolis. Our tour basically consisted of driving a loop, past the main sites (except for the stop at the hill) all inside the van. We loved our guide, but we could have taken a taxi around the city for less than what this tour cost for 1 person. 3 hours is not enough time and the bad thing is,…”

10.3-Hour Small Group Coasteering in Sounio

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $90Best value

Coasteer beneath the Temple of Poseidon with cliff jumps, snorkeling, swimming, and small-group guidance along Sounio’s wild coast.

“Great experience. The area is beautiful, lots of different activities packed into one. You hike, scramble over boulders, cliff jump, snorkel. Our guide was great, she took pictures and sent them to us after. She helped arrange a driver for us from Athens who waited and let us visit the temple of Poseidon after before heading back to Athens. I have always been hesitant to cliff jump and figured I would not to any of them, but she started us on just a very small jump and kept moving us up to slightly bigger jumps. I jumped off much higher than I ever expected I would be willing.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Review of Athens’ private 3-hour accessible panorama tour, with Piraeus pickup, Acropolis views, Plaka, Lycabettus, and mobility tips.

“Our driver Andreas was superb - friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. My travel mate has low mobility and he made sure everything was easy for us. He waited while we went up the Acropolis (using the lift which was great, otherwise we couldn't have done it). He showed us highlights of his home city and catered for our needs perfectly. He picked us up from our hotel and delivered us to our cruise ship in Piraeus. On time, reliable and caring - and a very good driver too!”
