The best city tours in Greece fill up weeks ahead and the very best go first. Here are 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
See Athens from an open-top bus, with flexible stops for the Acropolis, museums, Piraeus, and the Riviera beaches.
“Let people know ahead of time that there’s 3 separate routes and that it costs 5 euros more to add each route before making a purchase. Especially in the city of Athens”
See Athens, Piraeus, and the Riviera from an open-top bus with flexible 24, 48, or 72-hour passes and audio commentary.
“Our experience was amazing!! Not only was the route perfect but I left my wallet on the bus by mistake and when I realized I called the customer service number and spoke to a lovely woman who said she would alert the possible drivers based on my route and track it down for me. She asked me to call back in 10 min and she would have an update. As promised she not only had an update but George X (driver) had found it and gave it to a manager who would have it waiting for me to pick up. I got the wallet back easily at the agreed upon…”
Review of Corfu’s $25 hop-on hop-off bus tour, covering Old Town, Kanoni, Mouse Island, Achilleion Gardens, routes, timing, and value.
“It’s too long walking from ship to bus.That walk is not comfortable for elderly people.Everything else is ok.”
See the Acropolis, top museums, and Athens by hop-on hop-off bus with a flexible city pass, plus an optional cruise to three Greek islands.
“The cruise was amazing and easy entrance to all the fabulous attractions and sites. The Big Bus was very disappointing the first day it didn’t even show up in Pireaus. It was never on time either.”
See Athens by bike in 2.5 hours, from the Acropolis to Plaka, hidden viewpoints, ancient sites, and the changing of the guards.
“Our tour guide Jim was superb. In addition to colourful, entertaining and informative commentary throughout the your he also treated us to a little personal opera along the way. Thanks mate! (From your Aussie customers :)”
Review of Athens’ Acropolis, city sights, Changing of the Guards, and Acropolis Museum tour, with practical advice on tickets, walking, and value.
“Overall, very good. However, the first portion of the tour was mediocre, at best, which was a "tour" through the subway station with a rapid fire narrative with an assortment of random facts without context or story, followed by a walk through a park with similar disjointed narrative. The tour of the Acropolis and museum was excellent with an engaging guide. Suggest only the Acropolis and museum tour.”
See Athens by pedal-assist e-bike, from the markets and Syntagma to the Acropolis, Plaka, and Psyrri, with a local guide in a small group.
“the visit was very interesting with a very friendly guide, good explanations, the 3 hours passed quickly, the places visited were very interesting.the person who greets us at departure explains to us how to use the electric bike, all the staff are very friendly. it was a real pleasure”
Walk from Syntagma Station to the Acropolis with a local guide, seeing ancient finds, Parliament, gardens, theaters, and the Parthenon.
“Really enjoyed this tour - the guide was friendly and full of interesting insights that added to the experience. It was my first time in the city so the first part of the tour was useful to get a feel for some different parts of the city - but the Acropolis was obviously the highlight. It's a long walk up, but broken up with stops to explain some of the different ruins on the south slope (which was quieter than the main entrance)”
See Rhodes by open-top bus for $23, with 12 stops, nine-language audio, Old Town, Mandraki, Monte Smith, and flexible hop-on access.
“Worth the money, cheapest hop on hop off in Europe”
Explore Knossos and Heraklion on a guided Crete day trip with hotel pickup, city free time, optional museum visit, and multilingual guides.
“Soula was a very knowledgeable guide. She managed to do the tour in German and English at the same time. With some nice insights at the Knossos palace , it was a great to be there. A shame that it was too crowded to really enjoy and feel the Minoan history at Knossos palace. Since it was so busy at Knossos, we stayed there longer than expected resulting in that the tour in Iraklion was very short. Since we already visited the museum in a previous day, the tour ended earlier than expected for us”
Ride a three-wheel Trikke through Rhodes, from Mandraki Harbour to the medieval Old Town, with a private guide and photo stops.
“Katrina is exceptional. She is knowledge,fun and an excellent instructor. Keep it up! We had a lot of fun.”
Review of Athens airport transfer by Mercedes-Benz, with clear pickup instructions, WhatsApp support, luggage help, pricing, and booking advice.
“Driver helped us get our luggage down the hill and to our airbnb. My daughter left her purse in the car and the driver brought it to us. I highly recommend.”
Paddle to Epidaurus ruins, snorkel over a sunken city, spot turtles, and enjoy Greek food on this guided Corinth coast kayak tour.
“This tour delivers what it promises, and more. We had a fantastic day with our guide, Oscar. It was very relaxing. The kayaking was at a very comfortable pace, with lots of opportunities to enjoy the experience. We were fortunate to swim with a number of sea turtles. Delicious home made food was also provided. Everything was thought of- waterproof camera/GoPro, plenty of drinking water, waterproof bags to store belongings in. We would never have found these experiences on our own. Thank you.”
See Athens by Segway in three hours, from Zeus and the Acropolis area to Monastiraki, with a local guide and easy training.
“We had exceptional experience in this tour with a wonderful tour guide. The best part was able to navigate through all major attractions without need to walk under the sun. Besides, we could see changing guard in a very different way.”
Explore Heraklion’s market, Venetian port and Koules Fortress, then visit Cretaquarium on a well-priced seven-hour trip from eastern Crete.
“Amazing day very informative great time at the market then on to Herklion itself that town was bustling had a lovely lunch from there onto Crete aquarium quite expensive but worth a visit then dropped back to drop of points. walked over 12,000 steps all in all a good day out. well organised”
