We learnt a great deal and were really pleased we chose to visit the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum with a guide, rather than by ourselves. We would highly recommend this tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,958 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $180Top rated

Cruise from Athens to Agistri, Moni, and Aegina for swimming, Greek lunch, drinks, and island time on a full-day Saronic Gulf outing.

“I love boat rides. The morning started so nice, the visit to Agistri was fun. Some swam, some wandered around. The next stop was not to an island, but actually just anchored in the water. People just jumped off the boat and floated, noone snorkeled because I think it was pointless. My blood sugar had dropped and I didn't try to swim. If you have low blood sugar bring your own snacks! Lunch was around 1:30 pm, and the crew member i had asked for info from was clearly tired of tourist questions. Lunch (FINALLY!) was good. Also, bring your own water bottle. The final stop at Aegina was nice.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4,008 reviews · from $31

Review of the Athens to Delphi tour with Apollo’s Temple, Delphi Museum, Arachova, guided commentary, transport, and practical booking tips.

“We had an unforgettable day tour to Delphi, guided by the exceptional Michael. His deep knowledge of Greek mythology brought the ancient ruins to life, and his engaging storytelling, coupled with a great sense of humour, made the journey both educational and entertaining. At the archaeological site and museum, we appreciated the relaxed pace—never feeling rushed—and had ample free time to explore, including a rewarding walk up to the amphitheatre. The stop in Arachova was a delightful bonus, offering us the chance to wander through this charming mountain village. Michael's passion for history and his personable approach truly enhanced our experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour to ...”
