“A real archeologist lead our tour. What a treat. He paced the tour well enough to allow my 76 year old mother to pull off the ascent up the Acropolis. Bus met us at the cruise port, well organized and air conditioned. Back in time to get back for our cruise departing. Would totally do again.”
Review of the Acropolis and Athens Highlights Tour from Piraeus, with port transfers, expert guiding, Plaka time, costs, and practical tips.
“Activity was great, but the pick up from the cruise terminal was stressfull. The taxi driver drove to our ship to collect us, but we had to go to via the cruise terminal. The two are miles apart. After much phoning and running around, our taxi driver found us. He was brilliant and thankfully we did not miss too much of the tour. Make sure you have a working phone, if you do this tour from a cruise ship. Would defo recommend.”
Review of a six-hour Athens shore tour from Piraeus, with the Acropolis, major sights, free time, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“We had a perfect tour of Athens. It only really scratched the surface of this amazing city, there is so much to see, but for a one day tour it was ideal - good combination of driving, walking around and free time without overheating or overdoing it. Álex is a treasure!!! Arrangements wit pick up and drop off directly at our ship were very convenient. All in all good organization and execution - well done!”
Review of the Ancient Olympia VR tour from Katakolo, with transport, tickets, phone-based audio, costs, drawbacks, and practical cruise-port advice.
“The Olympic ruins were extremely interesting to see and experience. The history was fascinating. The amount of archaeological discoveries and artifacts that were exhibited on the grounds were remarkable. And the signage displayed explained everything very clearly. We enjoyed our visit to the grounds and the museum. We were disappointed that the app provided didn’t work out very well and that the tour provider wasn’t available for assistance on the grounds. Otherwise this would be a 5 star tour.”
Review of Athens shore excursion with Acropolis, changing of the guard, National Gardens, Temple of Zeus, museum, and port transfers.
“Amazing tour. Started off learning about Athens subway and how it is truly a museum. Watched the changing of the guards. Very cool. Then stroll through royal gardens. Quick snack break and on to the main attraction. Margaret was the best tour guide we have had this trip. She is well educated, so energetic about Greek history and an amazing communication style and voice. Learned so much. The tour of Acropolis was a bucket list we learned every step from the bottom to the top. Stunning place to visit. I am not a museum person the Acropolis museum has converted me. So well designed. Transport was easy. Be aware you…”
