★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 4,521 reviews · 5 hours · from $23Our pick

Half-day bus trip from Athens to Cape Sounion for Poseidon Temple ruins and a sunset viewpoint, with a 6-language audio guide.

“Absolutely perfect! The guide was very kind, knowledgable, and made sure everyone was accounted for. She also made sure everyone had the audio guides and could find the right language. The bus ride is approx 1 h and 30 min depending on traffic! I’d recommend going to the gift shop before going up to the temple as it gets busy. Gorgeous sunset and easy ride! Definitely worth the price!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 3,575 reviews · 40 minutes - 3.5 hours · from $47

Timed Acropolis Hill entry plus offline audio on your phone, optional museum add-ons, and easy directions to explore Athens at your pace.

“It was a deeply impressive cultural experience, and I was moved by every building I visited. The only exception was an encounter at the entrance, where I came across three young female pickpockets. Just as they were about to steal from me, I managed to stop them. They were very young, probably under 20 years old, and were speaking what sounded like Spanish. I later reported the incident to a staff member, and there was concern about how they had managed to enter the premises. Other than that, the rest of the experience was wonderful.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,028 reviews · 10 hours · from $30

Small-group day trip from Athens to Delphi, with VR and multilingual audio at the ruins, plus museum time and a stop in Arachova.

“Our guide George was so kind, caring, and informative. The trip was immaculately planned and every detail felt thought out. I really appreciated the details of getting to stop for a moment to take photos of scenic Arahova from the lookout at the end of the tour and the fact that we stopped at a restroom before plunging into Athens traffic on the way home. Delphi itself was absolutely gorgeous. The ruins were well preserved and having the mountains of Greece as a backdrop made it all the more awe inspiring. The climb was doable because we had ample time to make it taking breaks along the way.”

The sunset was beautiful we had great weather, equally good in or out of the grounds so don't feel like you have to pay for entry, but we did and it was worth it! Top tip: sit on right side of the bus for sea views on the way there. Sit on the left on the way back to continue watching the sunset over the sea on the way back.”

Prebook e-ticket plus offline smartphone audio tour through Athens Ancient Agora, from Solon to Socrates, ending by the Theatre of Dionysus.

Do this early in the morning or as late in the afternoon as you can so you’re not slowly walking around in the heat. The museum is good- and air conditioned! I thought the best story was Samuel the Cobbler and his relationship to Socrates.”
