Informative tour with all the sights of Athens
We had a great day with Pedro visiting all the sights of Athens. We started with the Jewish History visiting Etz Hayim and Beth Shalom Synagogues, the Wall of Tears, the new monument to the Greek Righteous Among Nations, and the Holocaust monument. After a great lunch at a local restaurant, we were on to the Greek highlights visiting Ancient Agora, the Acropolis and Museum, changing of the guard, National Library of Greece, Mount Lycabettus - the highest spot in Athens, Olympic stadium, the Temple of Zeus, ZEA Marina and finally a beautiful sunset before returning to the port.
Response from the operator: Dear Deborah, thank you very much for your excellent feedback. We and Petros are very happy that you had good time and remained fully satisfied while using our services for the Full Athens Jewish Private tour. We are looking forward to welcome you again in the future. Our Best Regards, JG Athens Tours

Wealth of information!
We utilized JG Athens for personal guidance in traveling to the Hosios Loukas Monastery and the Delphi ruins. The driver was very helpful and took us to the places we asked. He was a wealth of information regarding the places we visited, and also provided us with recommendations for wonderful places to have a late lunch. On the second day, he took us to the Peloponnese peninsula to see the Corinth canal, Nafplio, and other ruins. The tour was expensive, but the driver was timely, had a clean and well equipped vehicle and all went perfectly and safely. We enjoyed the tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Mark & Annie, thank you very much for taking the time to post this excellent feedback. We and Geogre are very happy that you had good time and remained fully satisfied while using our services for your private tours in Delphi and in Peloponnese. We are looking forward to welcome you again in the future. Our Best Regards, JG Athens Tours

Highly Recommend!
John personalized a 3 day/2 night tour for my wife and me through the Peloponnese, including Stemnitsa and Zigovisti. It was an excellent tour, with John proving again what a great driver and guide he is. My first tour with John was pre-Covid so I was very happy to engage him again three years later. We highly recommend John, and plan to use him again ourselves.
Response from the operator: Dear Alan A, Thank you very much for posting this excellent review. We and John are very happy that you enjoyed the 3 Days Tour in Peloponnese and, once again, you remained fully satisfied from our services. We are looking forward to welcome you again in the future. Our Best Regards, JG Athens Tours

Ancient Corinthos, Mycenae & Nafplio - Private Full Day Tour from Athens: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Ancient Corinthos, Mycenae & Nafplio - Private Full Day Tour from Athens cost?
+
Prices start at $529 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 Ancient Corinthos, Mycenae & Nafplio - Private Full Day Tour from Athens take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Ancient Corinthos, Mycenae & Nafplio - Private Full Day Tour from Athens worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ancient Corinthos, Mycenae & Nafplio - Private Full Day Tour from Athens?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ancient Corinthos, Mycenae & Nafplio - Private Full Day Tour from Athens suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ancient Corinthos, Mycenae & Nafplio - Private Full Day Tour from Athens?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ancient Corinthos, Mycenae & Nafplio - Private Full Day Tour from Athens 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.
