Is the guide French-speaking for this tour between 20 May and 10 June?

The tour has a French-speaking guide available only on Tuesdays.

When booking this tour, do you keep your room accommodations in Athens the entire time? So that you will not need to pack all of your belongings every few days?

We appreciate you sharing your travel plans with us and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. When you change the hotel accommodation it is essential to take all of your belongings from one hotel to another.

On the booking form, the extra section there is the hotel and port transfer to and from. Please confirm if I need to pay for this as extra as I read on the transport section the transfer is included so not sure if I need to select this as extra or not. Its a bit confusing.

We appreciate you sharing your travel plans with us and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Inbound/Outbound transfers from/to Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens International airport) or from/to Piraeus Port are included in your package. The extras you have seen are valid only in case you would like to book a Private transfer or any other additional service, such as Pre/Post Night accommodation.

Do you all require proof of covid vaccination to participate in tour?

According to the actual guidelines for the participation for the tours, clients need a vaccination certificate or a rapid test of 48 hours prior service date. We do not have any official announcement from the Government how it will be applied within next months.
