Private Day Trips from Athens & Tours in Greece

Private Athens Tours & Shore Excursions

There’s no better way to discover Athens than at your own pace, with a friendly English-speaking driver and a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes. Our private Athens day tours take you to the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum, past the Panathenaic Stadium and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and to the Changing of the Guard at Syntagma. Fancy a little more? Add a swim or a sunset on the Athenian Riviera.

Arriving by cruise ship? Our Athens shore excursions start at the pier in Piraeus and bring you back to your ship on time.

Every tour is private, just you and your party, with a fixed price agreed upfront and stops planned around you. Athens tours start from €220 per car for 1–3 people. A licensed guide can be added on request for an extra fee, subject to availability. Request your free quote to plan your day.

How Your Private Day Trip from Athens Works

  • Choose a destination below, or tell us what you’d like to see and we’ll plan the route with you.
  • Pick a start time between 08:00 and 14:00, subject to availability and site opening hours. For longer trips such as Meteora, an early start gives you more time on site.
  • Your driver picks you up at your Athens hotel or Airbnb, or at Piraeus cruise port.
  • Travel in comfort, with bottled water and Wi-Fi on board. Your driver waits while you visit each site.
  • At the end of the day, we drop you back wherever you like in Athens.

Why Take a Private Day Trip Instead of a Bus Tour?

A coach tour to Delphi or Meteora follows a fixed timetable, with dozens of other people and long waits at every stop. On a private day trip from Athens, the car and the day are yours. You leave when it suits you, stay longer where you love it, stop for lunch in a village taverna, and skip what doesn’t interest you. For families, couples and small groups, it’s the most relaxed way to see Greece beyond Athens.
