Best of Athens Half-Day Private Tour

10.Best of Athens Half-Day Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 149 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $120

See Athens in four to five hours with a private driver, Acropolis access help, Lycabettus views, Olympic sites, and flexible stops.

“Driver was professional and always on time. The logistical aspects of the tour were exceptional. The vehicle was clean and new. Our driver/guide was knowledgeable, though he didn't really present the information in an organized or cohesive way. If we asked questions, he would answer, and we talked a lot while we were driving, but the conversations were more social vs. a tour that imparts information. Again, I think the driver/guide knew the content, but wasn't good at delivering it in a cohesive manner. This feedback is very driver dependent, and it's not necessarily a reflection of the tour company.”
