What To Expect
Athens Morning Sightseeing Tour and Half-Day Cape Sounion Trip (Day 1 or 2 — your choice):
After a morning pickup at your Athens hotel or a central meeting point, settle into your air-conditioned coach and begin your sightseeing tour.
With your guide, admire Athens’ historical and modern highlights, including bustling Omonia Square and Syntagma Square, home to the Greek Parliament House.
Pass the Panathenaic Stadium, the arena that staged the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, and then enjoy a guided walking tour of the UNESCO-listed Acropolis — the cluster of classical monuments on the rocky outcrop above the city. Admire the 5th-century BC Parthenon; see the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion, and learn more about the Acropolis and its ruins at the Acropolis Museum. Your sightseeing tour then comes to an end, leaving you free time to relax and have lunch (own expense) before your trip to Cape Sounion.
In the afternoon, leave Athens by air-conditioned coach and pass the pretty beaches of the Saronic Gulf as you travel to the tip of the Attica peninsula, where a rocky promontory forms the cape. Here, visit theTemple of Poseidon, a semi-ruined white marble temple on the clifftops. Learn how the temple was built in 44BC, and hear the ancient myths that surround it as you absorb the sea views.
Your tour finishes at your pre-booked Athens hotel or at the start point.
Delphi Day Trip (Day 1 or 2 — your choice):Board your air-conditioned coach at your Athens hotel or a central meeting point, and journey to Delphi, one of Greece’s most famous classical sites.
After brief stops on route, arrive at this archaeological wonder on the slopes of Mt Parnassus and take a walking tour around the highlights as your guide recounts how the site was dedicated to the god Apollo and home to the legendary Delphic oracle.
Stroll around the Temple of Apollo, the 4th century BC temple where the oracle sat, see the reconstructed Athenian Treasury, and gaze at Delphi's stadium, where the Pythian Games — athletics contests held every four years — were staged from 582 BC.
Afterward, visit the Delphi Archaeological Museum to view some of the treasures excavated at the site; and enjoy an included lunch of Greek dishes at a local restaurant.
Lastly, travel back to Athens, where your tour ends at the start point.

I liked that this tour was divided into 2 parts. It gave us a break of 1 hour to go back to hotel to relax. The tour guide was very knowledgeable in her Greek culture and history.
DAVID_D, Sep 2019
Acropolis was very crowded due to cruise ships. We thought we were doing Delphi on Sept. 12, thus Acropolis on Sept 13 would have been less crowded and had more time on site and at museum due to bad traffic. Delphi and Poseidon tour guides were very good.
Shaili_H, Jul 2018
Great tour would definitely recommend. The city tour does not quite cover all the sights so should leave time to walk around on your own or use the hop on/off bus to make sure you see everything. The Acropolis museum was definitely worth it and the Cape Sounion Trip and Delphi Trip were both beautiful.
Maja J, Jan 2018
Loved this day trip, Delphi was fascinating, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and lunch was delicious.
Leslie A, Jul 2017
Disorganized around Athens ... I quickly lost interest, unfortunately. No one wants to stand still for 20 minutes before you can see a sight, listening to a pompous guide pontificate about nothing.
Adina P, Feb 2016
Despite having 2 half days the amount of information and sites toured was amazing. I would recommend particularly if you have limited time.
Margarita F, Nov 2015
I was unable to take the tour because I couldn't leave on the day I had my reservations due to my passport expiring in January - not enough time for Greece rules. Missed 5 days of my trip.
Jaclyn P, Oct 2015
Very knowledgible tour guides. Delphi and Cape Sounion were really cool sights, despite the long bus ride. The bus was typical coach, but comfortable. Expect crowds and some standing around for the Acropolis tour.
John, Jun 2015
Top notch tour. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. A long day but was well worth the trip. The stop for lunch was excellent.
Shaun_R, Jun 2015
Excellent value for money.
