A full day with the whole of Athens
Everything the half-day tour covers, with room to breathe. See the Acropolis and its museum properly, look out from Lycabettus or the Areopagus rock, visit the ancient Agora where democracy was argued into being, and finish with the markets and cafes of Monastiraki and Plaka. Lunch lands wherever you like it, from a classic taverna to a rooftop with a Parthenon view.
Private vehicle, hotel pick-up and a driver who reads your energy: more museums or more coffee, the day is yours.
Plan it: read the Athens guide, short on time? take the half-day version, or compare all 19 private tours.
