    Transport
    • Private Tours GreeceOperator•Written June 2026

      Yes, a representative/driver will be waiting for you upon arrival and will transfer you to your hotel in Athens. The following morning, (day 2) you will begin your group tour. The pick-up point will be either at your hotel or within a very short walking distance from it.

      The mainland portion of the program is operated by a comfortable touring coach with a professional driver and guide. The Saronic Islands cruise is also shared with other travelers. Airport transfers are included.

      As for walking, depending on each site and your personal pace. As a general guideline, you can expect approximately 1,5-2 hours of sightseeing and walking per site in the Mailnand.. During the Saronic Islands cruise, you will have free time on each island to explore at your own pace.

      The pace is generally comfortable, with regular stops throughout the tour. However, please note that archaeological sites such as Olympia, Delphi, Mycenae, and the Acropolis involve some uneven surfaces and moderate walking.

      If you prefer a more flexible pace or private transportation, we would also be happy to propose a fully private version of the itinerary.

      Please let me know if you have any mobility concerns or specific preferences, and I will be happy to advise further.

  • K

    Kate

    Asked on February 16th, 2026

    I will be coming from a cruise on the 9th of September. Would you pick me up from the cruise station, from a hotel or would I need to find my way to your location? Do you have a recommendation of where I can stay or can I set something up through you for the night of the 9th? I'm traveling with a friend on the cruise but then she has to leave so I will be on my own after that and would like to make it easy on myself so anything I can do through the same agency I would like to. If I can say pay a little more for a pickup from the cruise line and an extra night at a hotel for the 9th for this trip that would be great.
