Outstanding Guide and Visit to Greek Battlefields.
We are a group of 3 older guys who like to visit Battlefields from all eras. We have seldom come across such a professional Company as Olive Sea Tours. From the organisation (thank you Gianna!), through to execution the team were superb. Our guide, Terry, was top class. He was authoritative, knowledgeable, witty, and most of all great fun. We visited Marathon, Thermopylae, Delphi, Platea, and Salamis. The company provided an extremely comfortable vehicle for us, and Terry was an excellent driver, giving us a very smooth and safe drive throughout our extensive Grecian Odyssey. We learned so much from Terry, and he went the extra mile by bringing us to subsidiary sites which gave us additional insights into the various battles. He even arranged a “bonus” for us involving a ferry trip over to Salamis, a mini cruise which we loved! All in all we cannot speak highly enough of Terry, he was an exceptional guide and made our trip a huge success.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your incredible experience with Olive Sea Tours. We're thrilled to hear Terry exceeded your expectations and made your battlefield visits memorable. Your praise highlights our team’s dedication to providing outstanding experiences.

Amazing experience
Our Persian War tour was incredible. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. Our tour guide, Alex, was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We loved that he had the perfect balance of giving us all the information we needed without feeling the need to talk non-stop to fill any moments of quiet. If you're thinking of going on this tour and want to learn more about the history of the wars, don't hesitate to book it and request Alex if you can!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback for your private 2 Days Marathon & Thermopylae Tour. We are glad to read that Alex was helpful, knowledgeable in Greek history and he customized the tour according to your needs. We try to give you an unforgettable experience. We hope to see you again! Best regards, Eleftheria Nikoloudaki

2 Days Private Tour:Persian War-Thermopylae,Marathon,Delphi,Salamis&Plateaus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does 2 Days Private Tour:Persian War-Thermopylae,Marathon,Delphi,Salamis&Plateaus cost?
+
Prices start at $675 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 2 Days Private Tour:Persian War-Thermopylae,Marathon,Delphi,Salamis&Plateaus take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 2 Days Private Tour:Persian War-Thermopylae,Marathon,Delphi,Salamis&Plateaus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Private Tour:Persian War-Thermopylae,Marathon,Delphi,Salamis&Plateaus?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2 Days Private Tour:Persian War-Thermopylae,Marathon,Delphi,Salamis&Plateaus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Private Tour:Persian War-Thermopylae,Marathon,Delphi,Salamis&Plateaus?
+
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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Private Tour:Persian War-Thermopylae,Marathon,Delphi,Salamis&Plateaus 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 Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. 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.
