Private half-day tour: the Acropolis Plaka the Changing of the Guard
The Acropolis and the best of Athens with your own driver
Athens Half Day Private Tour
Most of Athens in a few hours!
Private tour · 5 hours · from €55 per car
Only have a morning or an afternoon? This Athens half day tour fits the city’s greatest sights into about five relaxed hours, with no big groups and no bus timetable.
First, you visit the Acropolis, where the Parthenon has stood above the city for almost 2,500 years. Your driver then shows you the best of our Athens city tour: the marble Panathenaic Stadium, Syntagma Square and the Changing of the Guard, the elegant neoclassical Academy and University, and Lycabettus Hill for the finest view over Athens. Finally, there is time to wander the old streets of Plaka, perfect for a coffee or a souvenir.
In addition, it is an ideal shore excursion for cruise passengers arriving at Piraeus port, and a great first taste of Athens if you are only in town for a day or two.
Above all, it is just your group, a comfortable Mercedes and a friendly English-speaking driver, at a fixed price per car, not per person.
