Seamless shore excursion, stress-free and worth every penny

5.00We booked this tour as a shore excursion from Piraeus Port. Our driver was waiting for us right at the terminal with a sign, which made the start of our day so easy. He was very mindful of our ship’s departure time and made sure we saw the highlights (Acropolis and Plaka) while getting us back to the port with plenty of time to spare. It was so much better than the crowded cruise ship buses. A truly premium experience that made our stop in Athens the highlight of our cruise!

Beautiful day learning about Athens

5.00This was an excellent way to see the Acropolis & other highlights in Athens. Our guide, Peggy, was extremely knowledgeable (about the history of Athens & of architecture, & restoration of the sights, etc. - everything you could hope to have for a place like Athens!). We had a wonderful day, and the restaurant recommended for lunch was delicious! To top it all off, the pictures Peggy took of us were incredible - sounds like a silly thing, but seriously some are frame worthy and it’s because she paid attention to perspective, etc. Book this tour & ask for Peggy!! :)
