The tour of Athens, unlike all our other excursions, uses public transport as this is the easiest way to get around.
As with all the excursions, we cover the cost of transportation but you will need to pay any additional expenses such as admissions and lunch.
The following is a typical itinerary, which can be adapted according to the interests of each group. We will normally accompany you on the excursion, but have prepared this detailed itinerary for anyone who wants to use it.
If you choose to stay overnight, we recommend
