Athens Private Small Group Full Day
Athens, Greece
Explore 4,000 years of Greek civilization on this private 8-hour small-group tour of Athens. Visit top Athens attractions including the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike with a private driver. See the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Panathenaic Stadium — where the modern Olympic Games began — and learn of life in ancient Greece. Watch the changing of the guards at Old Parliament House, explore the Ancient Agora of Athens and enjoy personal attention from your private driver on this small-group tour, limited to 18 people.
Meet your private driver during a pickup at your Athens hotel or the cruise port, then take a seat in your comfortable vehicle to begin your tour.
First, visit the Acropolis of Athens — home to the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike. Marvel at the ancient constructions you find and gain insight into their role in ancient Greece.
With your private driver to lead the way, explore the remains of the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Panathenaic Stadium — where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1986.
During your tour, take in top attractions including Old Parliament House and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and see the famous changing of the Presidential Guards. Admire the neoclassical architecture of the Athens Academy, the National Library of Greece and the University of Athens.
Visit the Ancient Agora of Athens — the old market and heart of the city’s trade — and discover key sites of interest including the imposing Stoa of Attalos and the Temple of Hephaestus.
Lastly, perhaps visit the National Archaeological Museum (own expense) — home to valuable treasures from prehistory to late antiquity. Then, return to your hotel or the port to conclude your tour.
Being a former English teacher, the guide had impeccable English and was very knowledgeable about the sites. She met us at the port as requested and worked with us in planning our 8 hour tour. She knew several ways to get around the lines at the Acropolis and led us to an excellent Greek restaurant in the Plaka area. We saw all the sites that we had planned.

1 On the description it says bottle water is included, so we didn't prepare our own. However the driver didn't bring us any so we ended up buying 3 euro a bottle water._br/_ 2 The driver just dropped us off and didn't go with us for visits. We got lost couple of times while the time is very precious as a shore excursion from cruise._br/_ It actually served just like a taxi.

If you are traveling with a group of 10 or more this is perfect! They were waiting for our party of 14 right at the port with a sign with our name! Our driver and guide spoke very good English and explained all the historical points of the trip. We had ample time to get off at our leisure and take photos and explore. The motor coach was very comfortable and professional - HIGHLY RECOMMEND
