TOP RATED CUSTOMIZED TOURS BY LOCALS
Private Athens tours and shore excursions from Piraeus port, planned around you and your ship. Your driver meets you at the cruise terminal, and from there the day is yours: the Acropolis and the Parthenon first thing, a slow walk through Plaka, or a longer trip out to Corinth or Delphi.
Choose a half-day or full-day Athens tour from your cruise ship, or go further to Olympia, Mycenae, Delphi and Meteora. Our tours are private and flexible, a guide is optional, and we time everything so you are back on board relaxed and with time to spare.
The best of Athens in one day. Start at the Acropolis and the Parthenon, then see the city’s highlights: the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Ancient Greek and Roman Agora, the Panathenaic Stadium where the first modern Olympics were held, the Changing of the Guard at Syntagma Square and the lively streets of Plaka.
History and countryside in a single day. In Argolis you can see the Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, the theatre at Epidaurus and the old town of Nafplion. Or head north to Delphi, home of the ancient Oracle and the place the Greeks called the navel of the world, high above a valley of olive trees.
Two days or more, at an easy pace. Our Classical Greece tours pick you up from your hotel or cruise ship and take you to Delphi, Corinth, Nafplion, Mycenae, Olympia, Meteora and Thermopylae, with time to enjoy each place instead of rushing between them. An overnight stop breaks up the drive, so you reach each site rested.
Something a little different. Take a private layover tour between flights, spend longer at the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum, drive along the Athenian Riviera, or join one of our themed Jewish or Christian heritage tours of Athens, all private and planned with you. Tell us what you love, and we will build the day around it.
Arriving in Piraeus on a cruise? Our Athens shore tours are built around your ship’s schedule. Your driver meets you at the terminal and takes you straight to the Acropolis, then on to the city’s highlights, and gets you back on board with time to spare. No big groups, no rushing, just Athens at your pace.
Meet and greet at Athens airport or Piraeus port, then a smooth ride to your hotel, your ship or your meeting in a smoke-free, air-conditioned Mercedes. Our English-speaking drivers track your flight, help with your luggage and get you there on time, at fixed prices, for holidays and business trips alike.

Thank you, dear Vassilis, for a wonderful day in Athens. We enjoyed it very much. Everything was well planned and very well explained, just perfect! We will definitely recommend your services to all our friends visiting Athens.
We had a great time, Vassilis was very knowledgeable about both Greek and US culture. He also had great pointers on how to avoid the crowd (big plus)! He took us to a great traditional Greek restaurant away from the tourist area. 5 Stars from the Jetta Family!
Thanks for a wonderful day of sights, history and discussion! We had a wonderful time and will definitely recommend you to anyone who has the good fortune to visit this glorious city. We wish you all the best in life and love!
