Private Athens Shore Excursion from Piraeus
A perfectly-timed Athens tour for cruise travellers
Cruise days in Athens are tight. Coach excursions waste hours queueing at the gate, lunching where the bus tells you to, and rushing the Acropolis with 200 other guests.
This is the alternative — a fully private tour for your party only, with pickup at your specific Piraeus terminal (E1–E12, confirmed the day before), and a route designed around your ship's all-aboard time. Acropolis & Acropolis Museum, Plaka, the Panathenaic Stadium, a relaxed Greek lunch, optional shopping — and back at your gangway with a comfortable buffer.
If your ship turns around and you continue on, we can extend into a half-day Cape Sounio sunset before drop-off at the airport for an overnight flight. Just tell us your timeline.

In Their Own Words
From recent guests
“We took a private trip to Delphi with Gregory. He wasn't a 'taxi' driver — he was a host to Athens and the surrounding areas. Excellent and skillful driver, knew the roads to take when there was traffic, full of knowledge of Greece. Wonderful conversations and perfect recommendations for our stops. I fully recommend him.”

Private Day Trip to Delphi
“We were lucky to engage Greg at the Athens Airport after another driver refused to take us into the city. He was personable, gave us the lowdown on Athens, and got us to our Airbnb in record time through the back streets. We used him again for a trip outside the city for seven of us — flying colors. I would contact him again in a heartbeat.”
