Athens · SHORE EXCURSIONS
3 reviewed
This is the shortlist we would hand a friend: the 3 shore excursions tours worth booking, each with its price, its traveller verdict, and the one thing to know before you commit.
Hop-on hop-off buses connecting Syntagma, the Acropolis area, and Piraeus plus Riviera beaches, with 24–48 hr flex.
“Bus was nica and we didnt have to wait long. I would do a fidferwnt tour next time and see the parthenon”
Private Athens full-day tour with hotel or cruise pickup, A/C comfort, skip-the-line tickets handling, and a smart route through Athens’ icons.
“What a way to see the highlights of Athens! George did a great job of making sure we understood the significance of each location. When my sister became ill, he took us back to the hotel to rest and then continued our trip an hour or so later. Patient, kind, and great English made for a lovely day.”
Athens shore day Acropolis walking tour from Piraeus with expert guide, Parliament and Zeus views, Syntagma relics, and Plaka free time.
“Our walking tour started great with clear communication as to where to meet. Traffic while on the bus was crazy busy, but we were excited about the tour thinking Athena would be our guide. Unfortunately at the bus station we were passed off to another tour guide. Being an elementary teacher, I know from many field trips that the guide makes or breaks the trip. In our case, our guide was mediocre, disinterested and not engaging. He did make sure he stopped to talk in places with shade, but there was not adequate restroom and picture taking opportunities . We enjoyed the sights, but it was not an interesting learning…”
