Also the manager of PTG offered us a complimentary dinner with Acropolis view.. thank you Ioannis!! We planing on our next adventure in Greece via Private Tours Greece

The things you see are worth the money
For the price it was a good trip. After taking another trip with a privat driver, I would probably have done this tour privat instead of a group tour, but because of the price this is a good option. The good part (that on its own gets 5 stars); seeing Delfi and the Monasteries is a really beautiful thing, and i recomend doing it, mabye even do a 3 day trip, so you get more time at the monasteries! the guide was good at the places vi saw. the place of the hotel was good! Okay bus to sit in, just glad we where not a full bus! The company is easy to get in touch with and easy with payment. would use them again. not so good; i had to walk to another hotel to get picked up, evendo my hotel was only 3 minuts away and everybody else godt pickup at there hotel. And i could not get droped of at my hotel near the habour(but it was not a downtown hotel, so i knew that might happen). The guide was not that passionet, she was good on the sits, but in the car nobody could understand what she was saying in the mirophone, not even the person next to her. I told her on the first stop that i had a hard time hearing her, and asked her to re tell a story, and she did, but never asked our changed anything after that. I startede google what we saw instead. The driver got us there fast! some times maybe a little to fast, but that is greek driving;) The stops where we ate was not that good, the first lunch stop was in the middel of nowhere and seemed like a old hotel, the food was ok, and the people was sweet. the motorwaystop was very basic. I do not know if these are the only places that makes sense to stop becuase of time, but i think there is so many beautifull places that if possible, it would give the tour something ekstra if the stops where at small taverns in beautiful towns. And the food at the hotel for dinner, was really not that good, and that was a 4+ hotel. Last i wish we had been able to stop ind the mountain town before Delfi, i think it is in the tour describtion. and that they would have done more in terms of the monastaries, more stops for pictures our mabye asked if we would have gone up and seen the sundown or sunrise, because that would have ben special. The stop to get us to buy pictures and souvieniers(but calling it a workshop), i would rather have spend the time at the monasteries. I know my negativ list was long, but the trip was really good, taking the time to go up and see these tings are worth the time and money. I only wish it had been a more full expirience, thats why it gets 3 stars, it is good, but that is because of the things you see, not the tour as a hole thing.

Highly recommend! Magical experience!
I highly recommend this tour and company. I contacted many tour agencies, and this one was so easy to work with as they spoke excellent english and responded immediately to all my questions and offered a very competitive price compared to other tours. They were also very accommodating to my schedule and worked out a custom tour for my party of 7. They provided a wonderful tour of central Greece. Meteora was breathtaking and unlike anything I've ever seen. Despite it's 4.5 hour drive from Athens, it was definitely worth it! Request Nikos for a driver as he made our trip so special and memorable. He was a lot of fun to talk to and was such a pleasure to spend almost three days with. He also was quite the unofficial tour guide by pointing out specific places we'd want to see or take pictures as well as giving us background and context for the sites we were seeing. We truly are so grateful to this tour company and Nikos for making our short trip to Greece magical.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
10 Day Tour in Athens, Santorini, Crete, and Balos Lagoon Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does 10 Day Tour in Athens, Santorini, Crete, and Balos Lagoon Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $761 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 10 Day Tour in Athens, Santorini, Crete, and Balos Lagoon Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 240 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is 10 Day Tour in Athens, Santorini, Crete, and Balos Lagoon Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 10 Day Tour in Athens, Santorini, Crete, and Balos Lagoon Cruise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 10 Day Tour in Athens, Santorini, Crete, and Balos Lagoon Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 240-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 10 Day Tour in Athens, Santorini, Crete, and Balos Lagoon Cruise?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 10 Day Tour in Athens, Santorini, Crete, and Balos Lagoon Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
