Perfect & Awesome
Everything was amazing from beginning to end. The staff was very informative and answered all my questions prior to our trip. Everything was transparent. The cost of the tour was extremely reasonable for the experience that we received. We had private drivers who were friendly and knowledgeable. When we went to the museum the tour guide was well versed about the artifacts and displays at the museum. She was such a delight to have along with us. The drivers were always on time for pick up. They gave us a lot of valuable facts about the area. I would highly recommend this tour.

Birthday gift of Greece
Working with Patti and team from Private Tours Greece that created our tour was really great from pick ups to drop offs ...it took so much pressure off where we could just really enjoy Anthens and Santorini. The 6 day tour was exceptional despite the weather (it was cold and rainy most of the time). Oh and the food...OMG the food! Visit Mama's in Santorini if you can it's new and the staff and food were amazing! Our guides were beyond exceptional and fun! I plan to return using the same agency to visit other islands in Greece. This was the perfect birthday gift!

Super tour, great people, good communication.
I arranged the tour for my wife and daughter-in-law. They had a wonderful time. Tour folks were easy to work with and always quick and accurate. They easily added two days to the beginning of the trip. Easily a 5 star experience. But there was a couple of things to look out for: 1. The hotel in Athens was a 3 or 4 star and was acceptable. The first hotel they offered on Santorini might have been nice, but it was located between cities with nothing much else around. I asked for another. They then offered a hotel in Thira, downtown, and with a caldera view. It was great. 5 star! 2. The tour ended with being dropped off in the late afternoon in Athens or at the airport. I would prefer a tour THAT drops off in the late afternoon to provide a hotel room, and make arrangements for the travel the next day. Of course, this would cost a bit more. We ended up paying for an early morning flight to make reasonable connections at ATH.

Tours Greece was incredible
Tours Greece booked and managed the entire vacation for us and we highly recommend booking with them for all of the moving pieces. We had a major issue on the flight from Brussels - Athens on our first day inbound and Dimitra was available via WhatsApp until 10:00 PM local time to assist us with rescheduling drivers and ensuring we arrived at our beautiful honeymoon suite in Santorini. Unfortunately due to a horrible airline experience our flight was delayed 2 hours and we lost our baggage but the contact for Tours Greece ensured that after we rebooked a new flight from Athens we were picked up in Santorini at 10:00 PM instead of the originally planned 7:00 PM and we had our private transfer to the accommodations on the island. The hotel was beautiful and I would highly recommend a stay at Amber Light Villas in Santorini. We were also able to rent an ATV directly through the hotel hassle free and it was dropped off at our hotel same day. We finished our final leg of the trip with a ferry back to Athens, Sliver seats were booked on the Seajet and it was a good experience. lots of leg room, quick transport and we arrived slightly late in Athens. Again our driver waited hours for us later than expected and Dimitra arranged for us to get a ride to Athens airport to go retrieve our baggage manually as the airline lost it and did not forward it to Santorini. The cost was minimal and the driver was very pleasant and professional. Our final day we had a panoramic tour of the city, visit to the Acropolis Museum and a private tour of the Acropolis. Our guide was incredible, she was so knowledgeable and explained so many amazing points of history that I would have never known if we did this without a guide. We got to see the Olympic stadium, changing of the guards, and so many neat things on the panoramic tour with stops. Finally the museum and the Acropolis the guide provided so much information and history that it really made the entire tour for us ! Thank you for that. I am so grateful for Tours Greece and the assistance we were provided with all the travel setbacks. Highly professional, communication was easy and very fast, and all the hotels and bookings were incredible. We will be using your company again anytime we return to the country.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6-Day Private Tour Athens & Santorini to Discover Greece's Charm: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does 6-Day Private Tour Athens & Santorini to Discover Greece's Charm cost?
+
Prices start at $450 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 6-Day Private Tour Athens & Santorini to Discover Greece's Charm take?
+
Plan for about 144 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 6-Day Private Tour Athens & Santorini to Discover Greece's Charm worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 6-Day Private Tour Athens & Santorini to Discover Greece's Charm?
+
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 6-Day Private Tour Athens & Santorini to Discover Greece's Charm suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6-Day Private Tour Athens & Santorini to Discover Greece's Charm?
+
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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6-Day Private Tour Athens & Santorini to Discover Greece's Charm 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.
