Athens Super Saver: City Sightseeing Tour and Half-Day Cape Sounion Trip plus Delphi Day Trip
Athens, Greece
With this Athens Super Saver, combine three best-selling tours for a two-day immersion in Athens, Cape Sounion and Delphi. Perfect for those who already have overnight accommodation, this guided tour lets you see some of Greece’s best-preserved ruins and scenic locations. On one day, see Athens’ Acropolis and Parthenon and then venture to Cape Sounion's Temple of Poseidon, a white beacon gleaming atop a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea. The other day, journey back to classical Greece with a day trip to Delphi, the site of the most important oracle in the classical Greek world.
Day 1: Athens Sightseeing Tour and Half-Day Cape Sounion Trip You’ll be picked up at your Athens hotel in the morning and taken by comfortable, air-conditioned coach on a sightseeing tour. With your guide, explore the city’s historic and modern sites, including central Omonia Square and Constitution Square. Drive past the Panathenaic Stadium, the site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, and visit Athens’ crowning beauty, the Acropolis.
Stop by the famed Parthenon, Athena Nike Temple and beautiful Porch of the Maidens, and learn more about the Acropolis and its ruins at the Acropolis Museum.
Enjoy free time to relax and enjoy lunch (own expense) before embarking on a journey to Cape Sounion in the afternoon, passing the idyllic beaches of the Saronic Gulf along the way.
Arrive at the astounding Temple of Poseidon, a gleaming white beacon perched on a rocky hilltop overlooking the Aegean Sea. Your guide will tell you all about this incredible site, which was built in 44 BC. Afterward, you’ll be dropped off at your pre-booked Athens hotel for an overnight stay.
Day 2: Delphi Day Trip In the morning, relax on the drive to Delphi, making several brief stops along the way. Arrive at the archaeological wonder and take a guided tour, where you’ll learn how the site was dedicated to the worship of Apollo and was once home to the most important oracle in the classical Greek world.
Visit Delphi’s most important building, the ancient Temple of Apollo, now a poignant collection of pillars and steps. Follow the sacred path to the restored Athenian Treasury, a classic temple designed with Doric columns.
You’ll also visit the site’s stadium, where musical competitions and the Pythian Games, similar to the Olympic Games, were held beginning in 776 BC. Then, visit the archaeological museum, filled with gold, bronze and ivory statues, and enjoy a Greek lunch in the nearby modern-day town.
After your tour, reminisce on your amazing Greece experience on the way back to your Athens hotel.

Great tour would definitely recommend. The city tour does not quite cover all the sights so should leave time to walk around on your own or use the hop on/off bus to make sure you see everything. The Acropolis museum was definitely worth it and the Cape Sounion Trip and Delphi Trip were both beautiful.

Loved this day trip, Delphi was fascinating, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and lunch was delicious.
Review by: Leslie A, July 2017
Disorganized around Athens ... I quickly lost interest, unfortunately. No one wants to stand still for 20 minutes before you can see a sight, listening to a pompous guide pontificate about nothing.
Review by: Adina P, February 2016
Despite having 2 half days the amount of information and sites toured was amazing. I would recommend particularly if you have limited time.
Review by: Margarita F, November 2015
I was unable to take the tour because I couldn't leave on the day I had my reservations due to my passport expiring in January - not enough time for Greece rules. Missed 5 days of my trip.
Review by: Jaclyn P, October 2015
Very knowledgible tour guides. Delphi and Cape Sounion were really cool sights, despite the long bus ride. The bus was typical coach, but comfortable. Expect crowds and some standing around for the Acropolis tour.

Learnt a lot about Greek history from great guides
Review by: David B, September 2015
Difficult to understand the guide.
Review by: AMADOR V, June 2015
It's cheaper to go to each site and pay for a tour guide. Also gives you control of your time. We had to be at the Hotel to meet at 820am but don't leave until 9am. Also Delphi day trip is 1:15min each way but your only there for 1 hr. Which is enough time to see everything but it's not worth it.
Review by: Veronique M, June 2015
Definitely worth it! Guides are great and well informed, on time pickups, comfortable buses, and wonderful destinations.
Review by: John, June 2015
Top notch tour. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. A long day but was well worth the trip. The stop for lunch was excellent.

Delphi was a great trip and as I knew my way about I was able to visit more than was on the official trip, Like the sanctuary of Athena. Some guests were disappointed at this as it is shown on the picture opposite but not visited.
Review by: Kenneth B, May 2015
The tour guide is what made this tour. She explained everything so well and brought the history of Athens to life. You will see all the major sites of Athens on this tour, and your ticket is good for four additional days to visit all the archeological sites of Athens.
Review by: Aruna M, January 2015
Delphi trip was very nice, guide was very knowledgeable.
Review by: twong12, November 2014
Great tour, except Cape Sounion which was a long drive for not much to see, especially compared to Delphi.
Review by: linda b, October 2014
Scenery and narrations of history were amazing.
Review by: Ramji A, October 2014
In the morning trip, the coach AC did not work well and was repaired when we were going around in Acropolis. The guide was excellent and very professional. I wish the tour included a few more sites, all it covered was the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum ( which was rushed ) and a few minutes at a very modern amphitheatre . Other sights were pointed out from the bus itself. Perhaps more time should be allotted to this trip and more sights covered , including for example, the temple of Zeus. The drive to Cape Sounion was pictureseque and wonderfully scenic. As usual the bus and guide were both excellent. There is not much to see at the Cape except the temple of Poseidon which is impressive, but about an hour stay there is more than enough. Reached hotel only at 7.40 pm as I was the last to be dropped off and the traffic can be horrendous.

Great tour.
Review by: Ashley W, August 2014
I would definitely do this tour again!! I'm so glad my husband found this website. Great deals, friendly staff, can't beat that! The staff was really knowledgeable about Greece and there surroundings. If you had a question, they knew the answer to it. I will definitely be using Viator again to book sightseeing tours and other tours!

Day 1 was ok_br/_

Delphi was amazing

This tour was amazing!

It's everything i wanted and more...
Review by: Larrie G, July 2014
Katvah was a wonderful guide on part of this tour. This two day experience was a great choice for us. The guides should always use a portable mike so all can hear. Not a problem on the bus._br/_
The antquities at Delphi and Poseidn were amazing. Highly recommend this choice of the City tour and then Poseidon' temple
Review by: Helen S, June 2014
Great experience! Would definitely use Viator again!!!
Review by: Kevin, May 2014
We felt that all the tours were excellent. Very well organised and hotel pick-ups were on time. Our guides were enthusiastic and informative, although one guides English was not so clear. _br/_
We visited all of the sites we wanted to in the short time we had in Athens._br/_
The Cape Sounion and Delphi tours also gave us a good appreciation of the Greek countryside as we travelled to the historic sites. Within the Delphi Museum it was hard to comprehend the age of the 600BC statues when our country is only 150yrs old._br/_
It was good to actually see the history we had learnt about as kids.
Review by: Anna G, March 2014
Great experience, everything was professionally organised- the timings, tours, sights.. The tour guides had a lots of knowledge about the history, area, culture. It was just great tripand we would accommodate this tour for everyone.
Review by: Timothy L, January 2014
My family enjoyed the tours and found them very enjoyable and educational. The guides were extremely knowledgable and were proud of Greece's culture. This allowed us to connect to the country in a much deeper way than if we tried to explore on our own without the knowledge of history and the cultural context.
Review by: Angie C, December 2013
It was absolutely amazing. Tour guides were experienced knowledgable and fabulous.
Review by: Ronald M, December 2013
Was a great trip, but the bus should have the language in the window of the bus, _br/_
Because we end up on a Spanish speaking bus. the tour guides were real good.
Review by: Roxanne A, December 2013
This package was amazing! The tour guides were very informative. I wish we made a few more photo stops like at the monument of the unknown soldier but I know that we were tight on time. I recommend for anyone that wants to see Athens to take this tour!
Review by: Rogelio L, October 2013
Rushed... Not fun... Worst tour experience ever!
Review by: paulkondos, September 2013
We are very satisfied with our tour, the information, service that was provided with our pick up directly from the Hotel/Motel was great. The Tour Guides were very informative (Joy and Katerina) were both very attentive and we would highly recommend this Tour.
