Athens to Mycenae Day Trips | Guided Tours & Transfers

I liked the service provided by the tour guide, the drivers and the company as a whole. Eva was so kind, considerate , and hospitable. She made sure everyone's needs were met. She answered all our questions with kindness. The tour itself was worth the long bus ride, the views from the bus were breathtaking. Meteora now holds a special place in our hearts. Its beauty and history is something to behold and remembered.

Was a really great experience!!

We have seen beautiful lanscapes and monasteries of Greece. We had a charming tourguide.

A slightly long excursion but well worth it to see the mountains and the monasteries of Meteora. Impressive!

Our guide Eva was really good, she answered every question we had and was particularly benevolent. Leonidas the driver of the bus was really nice too ! The landscapes were breath-taking, and the monasteries were very interesting. The only thing that bothered us during our trip was from the app, because we saw pictures of a minivan and thought we were going to be in a group of 5/6 people. We were in fact on a bus, but as it was half-full, we could sit whenever we wanted and could switch sides to see the view.

The tour was awesome! The drivers are very good given that Athens traffic is not for the faint of heart. Meteora guide was very nice and knowledgable. 10/10

Wonderful tour with informative explanations on Meteora and the monasteries. Our guide, Maria from Meteora Thrones was amazing!! So professional and kind. 100% recommend!

A wonderful day in the hands of a good coach driver 'Costa' and very in formative guide, sorry forgot the younge lady from Kalabaka, will remember this day and have some great pic to show

Good tour, thanks to our guide Yiannis

Everything: the view, history, and arrangements

Astonishing views! Highly recommended. Quite some travel from Athens but worth it.

Tour Guide Maria was absolutely fantastic . The rocks and monasteries spectacular

Madame Marina! What an EXTRAORDINARY guide! Mythology has become a beautiful story! What a great family experience! Thank you so much!

I rated good as the Guide was very knowledgable, spoke well, and was very nice. Maybe a bit long winded at times (passionate about the information) and because of that we did not have enough time to see as much as I would have liked. I would have rated higher but, I had an issue with my tickets which made me very upset. I purchased the tour with museum entrance fee inculded, but somehow lost the paper tickets the guide provided (2 one for me and one for my friend) while on the archeological site (fell out of pocket). I asked your guide if I could use the electronic ticket in your App that I downloaded, and she said that should be fine, so I did not go back to look for the lost tickets before leaving the archeological site. However, when we got to the museum the tickets that your company provided via the app did not work, they errored out at the door. I was then forced to purchase new tickets, or not get to enter the museum with the rest of my group. (Also, there was a conversationon in Greek between the guide and the museum ticket office about who was going to be responsible for telling me I was being forced to purchase new tickets. They did not realize my friend was fluent in Greek because she was speaking in English to me the whole trip. As soon as they started to go back and forth my friend told me what they were saying so they did not have to, and I did not appreciate that. Just tell me and let me deal with it.) It cost me an extra 40 Euros for what I already paid for, and I feel that I should not have had to do that as I had the electronic tickets from your companys app. I paid so that the tour could continue with out further delay, but would really love to get my money back if possible. The tour guide said she would write the issue up in her post tour report. If not refund, maybe credit on a future tour. I realize that I bear some responsibiity for the ticket loss, but the tickets in your app should have worked. I look forward to hearing from someone in your organization regarding this issue, thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.

All good. Michael especially was very nice tour guide. We couldn't avail student discount for my daughter so please get in touch as there is nothing on your website even though there is one for students!

Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, transport was comfortable

The tour guide was super nice and knowledgeable! We had a great time!

Problems with the driver. He hinted to me that I might be a possible thief at a bus stop that was not on the itinerary. And he didn't want to let us stay on the bus.

On the day of the trip, there was a strike of Taxi Union of Athens, my hotel was in Glyfida region, so I was unable to get to the meeting point on time without the taxis and I could not get an effective help from the help desk of Headout; they just gave me the phone number of the tour company and told me to call them and tell my problem to them. What is the role of Headout then if I am to deal with a problem like this and if no productive help would be given!

The visit to Delphi is impressive, and all the more so with the explanations we had got in the bus during the trip to Delpi, with an excellent, cultured and entertaining guide.

The bad part was that it was a long tour to Delphi from Athens (not much to do about that), but the guide gave the history of Delphi on the way there as well as explained what we saw on the way there and mentioned the history of the areas we passed. This was both interesting and a good way to pass the time. At the site and the museum tour she had good knowledge of the area and also showed picture of how it could have looked when it was in active use.

Our tour guide Dimitrios had a lot of experience and told us a lot about the local myths and history. Great place to lunch and beautiful landscapes!

A long and hot day again but wow Delphi was so worth the experience. Such a knowledgeable tour guide and safe driver for 6 hrs of being on the bus. My food was nice but my husband really enjoyed some new flavors today which was our second long day. The site and museum was breathtaking and so worth the journey.

Was one of the best tours we've been on. We were lucky with a knowledgeable guide who was interesting, positive and not overwhelming. Was a very hot day but didn't feel it due to an interesting and compact presentation.

Well organised enjoyable tour with a knowledgable guide.

Excellent, good driver, friendly guide

The excursion to Meteora was really worth it: the scenery is breathtaking and the perched monasteries are just incredible 😍 On the other hand, I'd like to comment on the organization... The bus journey is already very long, but on top of that, our bus broke down on the way 😬 We waited almost an hour for another one to come and pick us up, without any apology or explanation. Luckily, the place was worth it, because it was really magical once we got there ✨

A wonderful day in the hands of a good coach driver 'Costa' and very in formative guide, sorry forgot the younge lady from Kalabaka, will remember this day and have some great pic to show

Astonishing views! Highly recommended. Quite some travel from Athens but worth it.

Tour Guide Maria was absolutely fantastic . The rocks and monasteries spectacular

This was a thoroughly enjoyable tour! Our guide George was friendly, punctual and well organised. Communication was excellent right throughout and we were made to feel welcome and relaxed with clear instructions, meeting times and locations given. The group was roughly 40, including children and people requiring mobility assistance. The bus trip was comfortable and informative and about 2.5hrs each way. The site itself is stunning, signed well and the VR element with music was super immersive. The suggested lunch location was tasty ranging €10-20pp.

This was a fantastic day trip to the archeological site and museum. First and foremost, never felt rushed at the site. We had plenty of time to walk around and take in the ruins. The bus ride was comfortable, and major props to the bus driver for getting us around the tight turns, especially in Arachovo. Thanos was our guide, and he was very nice and infromative. I only wish he would snap his fingers every so often (that's an Avengers joke for you). After the site, we had a lovely time at a restaurant to take in drinks with a view. And the VR stuff? It was cool at first, but slowly we got tired of looking at the screens and felt better off just reading the plaques.

Every moment was a joy. For the rest of my life I will have these memories. It was an amazing excursion with a great tour guide, fantastic views and high energy spots within the archeological site.

Our guide Michaela was very friendly and attentive. She was smiling and gave interesting explanations, speaking in English slowly enough so that we didn't get too lost. She always made sure she had everyone on the bus when it left, so it was impossible for the bus to leave without us. On the other hand, the time spent at the site and museum was too short. Just over 2 hours! It wasn't enough for us to take full advantage of the archaeological site and museum as we would have liked, given the size and importance of the place. We would have preferred more time on site, even if it meant less at the other stops. And we didn't know when the meal time would take place. It was a bit vague, and we'd have preferred to have a precise schedule for the day from the outset.

The price with the ticket included was very competitive. I would, however, suggest an earlier departure from Delphi as we only had time to see the ruins. An extra 30 - 45 minutes would also have permitted us to see the museum, so at least 3 hours at the site instead of 2 hours.

A must-see for history buffs. The virtual tour is not yet fully developed.

Good service, from the App everything clear and simple. Thank you and see you soon.

It was really easy to book and to find the pick up point. We even had to change the date due to our travel plans and that was very easy to do. Michaela, our guide was very informative. Delphi, itself was stunning and I am so glad we went to experience the site. We had a stop in Delphi for lunch and a photo stop in Arachiva. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Funny tour guide Well organized trip Enough time to spend on site

Pretty much everything. From the guide and driver, to the sights and places.

The organization in general and the assistance of tour leader michaela who was efficient, attentive, precise, kind and helpful.

The bus broke down on the way back. On the outward journey it took longer to get the tickets from the guide, who had to queue at the ticket office rather than buy them directly. The guide didn't explain how to use the phone, mainly because the virtual reality had to be synchronized with the real view.

The tour was well organised, although it was a bit hard to find the meeting point since there was no info, which sign to look for. We had enough time to enjoy Delfi at our own pace. The guide was very helpful and nice :)

This was such a lovely time! Vasilis was such a great tour guide, greatly appreciated his time and seeing this lovely site!

Michaela and the bus driver were very nice, helpful and open. A very nice day trip.

Very well-planned trip with a kind and interesting tour guide. The ride down was beautiful and the Temple of Poseidon was terrific. We stayed until just after sunset which was perfect!

The ride was through a breathtaking picturesque beachfront road once we got outside of Athens metropolitan area, which came as a pleasant surprise! The tour guide 'Thanos' was very friendly and helpful who explained stories from Greek mythology and made the trip memorable!

Very interesting information and the guide was educational! The views were spectacular and so beautiful...the temple itself is breathtaking and so is the sunset. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful experience, outstanding guide, breathtaking views--absolutely recommended. I recommend getting temple tickets before arriving.

Amazing tour guide and well organized!

My expectations were met and history at the site is very interesting. The guide at the tour had a lot of history knowledge (that I experienced in a conversation on the bus)...so I guess a lot of your other tours he can share more of his knowledge than on this sunset tour 😊).

Communication was confusing - given two different pick up locations so had to go to the office to clarify the day before. The trip itself was long but you got to see the coast and various holiday resorts outside of Athens. More information along the route about these would be good. No stops on the way - it was a long wait for the actual sunset before rushing to leave on the coach again. Only seating was in the Temple restaurant which was very basic, busy and expensive. Overall not a bad excursion but not the best.

The experience went well but we could not go through the coast road because of the fires. I think they should have warned us earlier so that we could have made our own decision.

Pick up point easily to found, very nice, helpfull guide ( Sotris and Co-guide and driver) , good informations: a very nice trip for sunset -lovers.

The tour that we had booked stated that entry to the temple was included, but when we arrived we were told we had to pay an extra 20EURO to enter the temple. When we challenged the tour guide, he clearly knew of the issue and advised that this was a "misunderstanding" on the inclusion list. This was highly frustrating for us and in the end we felt we had been taken to the location under the false pretence of included temple entry. In the end we reluctanctly paid for entry as it was a one of visit that we woudlnt repeat, but we felt almost "held captive" by the location. The bus ride and the temple were good though, but we felt bad for the tour guide as he was under pressure from lots of our group as a result of the "misunderstood" listing, and has clearly faced this issue in the past as his response was well rehearsed.

Excellent service and bus trip and the sunset is awesome. Only bad but is the cafe there, which isn't the organisers' fault, but the food is not great and the service is terrible.

The overall experience was good and worth the amount spent. Cape Sunion was beautiful during the Sunset. Actually the road to Cape Sunion has picturesque view. The temple of Poseidon is mostly in ruins and pretty similar though much smaller than what you see in Acropolis or Parthenon. But the surroundings are beautiful.

First of all I'd like to thank our guide. He was very well organised and super nice and communicative - it was effortless on my part to board the right bus in Omonia and find the right bus for the trip back to Athens. Travel to destination was very comfortable (bus was clean and had AC) and picturesque with lovely coastal scenery. We arrived at the Temple of Poseidon with plenty of time to get around and we stayed there long enough for all the essentials: 1) getting superb pictures; 2) enjoying the location; 3) dining al fresco at local restaurant (very nice menu, service and clean facilities). All in all, awesome experience I will remember for years to come. Highly recommended!

Good arrangement, nice visit. A pity that it was not clear that we had to pay extra to enter the Temple. Nice to mention this before.

Great tour! Easy to find via the provided email directions and photo. The tour guide (Katarina) was amazing, very nice, and funny! Would recommend.

The trip and the advisor was both great!

Very easy to pick up at the meeting point. The two guides, Vassili and Georges, were very friendly.

Like it a lot. Excelent explanations about the areas where the road goes.

The Audio Files we're Not really useful and did Not Match the Tour of the bus

I loved the view, especially the sunset, and we had a super good guide

The bus was on time, but I would have liked the guide to explain the myths and history better.

Excellent guide and overall experience. Good value and the temple was magical. Highly recommended.

All went super. The ticket app worked perfectly. I was worried when a review said it was a scam. No idea what they did but all was absolutely fine

Pre-booking the tickets saved us a great deal of team was very easy to book it with headout. We decided to an afternoon trip to see the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum, we didn't have to wait long to get in which was fantastic. Plenty of seats to rest as you go up, definitely have comfortable shoes, water and take your time going up as there is plenty to see. When you get to the top although there was a bit of a crowd most people were respectful and actually helped each other including taking photos for each other. Amazing view of the city. The museum is amazing again well curated. The roof top café in the the museum was amazing you a wonderful view of Acropolis and it's reasonable priced.

Sotiris was an amazing tour guide. He was very kind, fun and knowledgeable and Georgios (spelling?) was an excellent driver. Poseidon's Temple was a vey cool site with amazing views. Definitely recommend!

An amazing experience taking you back in time. The remains are exquisite and the views outstanding. An early visit is advisable to avoid the crowds and the heat in Summer.

Our tour guide was sooooo friendly and helpful. We had a prompt and smooth pick up from Old Parlliament and a smooth ride with audio out of Athens to Cape Sounion Attica region. The sunset was beautiful and we got back to Athens after 5 hours in a timely fashion. The tickets into the Temple of Parthenon cost 20euros extra

Just being able to see and touch a part of history was awesome. It was very crowded but because we bought tickets for the 8 AM entry we were able to see everything before the temperatures got too hot. It was a long walk but worth it.

4pm slot, not too busy. However it was very hot during this time, so keep this in mind. The sights and the history were amazing.

Visiting the Acropolis in Athens was an incredible experience—truly awe-inspiring to walk among such ancient history and iconic architecture. Standing at the top, surrounded by the remnants of the Parthenon, I felt a deep sense of wonder and connection to the past. What surprised me, though, was how crowded it was. I didn’t expect that many tourists! It was definitely more packed than I imagined, which made the experience a bit hectic at times. Still, despite the crowds, being there and seeing it all in person was absolutely worth it.

We were lucky to have 8 am tickets, since it was a 95 degree day! The site was incredible. Our tour guide pointed out many intricacies about the buildings, why they were designed the way they were, and the history of the site. It was one of the most spectacular places we've visited.

First to have had the opportunity to be in Athens, to look, contemplate, live and think what life was like inside those impressive ruins. Beautiful, peaceful and amazing.

Wonderful experience. I took the latest slot. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful and funny. Wish it wasn't under construction but its a great reason to go back again one day when it is not. The views were great, the crowds moved quickly and I didn't feel there was a lot of wait time anywhere. Great team that keeps this place running!

Booking tickets in adcance was very worth it. I was on a cruise and got into Athens centre at about 9.30. By tbe time we had walked up the hill to the ticket office they were selling tickets for the 1pm entry as all earlier tickets had sold out.

We went right in the morning at 8, and got in line about 7:30 to ensure we'd be there before major crowds and the sun, and super glad we did! We spent about an hour and enjoyed looking at all the ruins.

We purchased tickets in advance online and arrived shortly before our scheduled entry time. We waited for a short time to be allowed to enter (maybe 10 minutes). It was somewhat crowded at 5 pm, but the crowds were easy to navigate with and through. It did not affect our enjoyment. The site is amazing to see in person! You can see te entire city. Of Athens and surrounding areas out to the sea. We visited in mid June and it gets SUPER hot so prehydrate and everyone take water. There are spots you can sit and take rest breaks in a bit of shade.

Everything except the Sun and heat but we were aware of that and ready for it. Getting around was pretty easy and the temples are great, magnificent and the marble looks smazing in the sun.

As a history lover , I was able to immerse myself in what the Acropolis once was. I didn't get the audio guide , perhaps I should have however , there's information everywhere with pictures and fragments to give you the great historical experience . Views of the city also amazing !

Meravigliosa esperienza. Tutto perfetto consiglio scarpe comode cappello e protezione solare. Il sito è conservato benissimo Audio guida in italiano molto utile e dettagliata per la città vecchia ricca di monumenti,chiese e edifici storici

The Acropolis itself is spectacular, it is a millenary place and incredible! It would be very useful the audio guide to learn and understand where you are and what is what but it was good the tickets with no line and no problem to redeem them. The tourist bus is good for people who dedicate the time we had no problem using it but we did not have time so next time I do not buy it because I did not use it. To improve the location of the stops in piraeus and glyfada, we could never find them.

Amazing experience. Very little information or support re queueing on arrival but once we had sussed it out all went well.

Good atmosphere, from the audience. It would be nice if there were a few more information boards. The kiosk wanted €7.50 for a pack of pringels which is extortionate. The general prices were very high, but this exceeded that.

The package is worth it, especially because it includes the entrance to the Acropolis and watching the sunset at the temple of Poseidon is beautiful. What I think is confusing is the beginning of the tour. We waited at the appointed place 15 minutes before our time and no one showed up. Then we went to exchange tickets and entered the Acropolis but we missed the first part of the tour.

The electron tickets were very easy to use. Great communication. The Acropolis was a great day out and getting round Athens on the open top bus made it easy to go everywhere. We went around the city and down the coast.

Crow de were very busy and slow at 9am, hear at that point was extremely hot. Doesn't seem to be any real procedure in place to deal with the crowds.

The pick-up points were clear, uncluttered and precise, so there was nothing to report on that score. The sites we visited were magnificent and well worth the detour - and the weather was just right too 😍. The only negative point was the temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. We had the (less pleasant) surprise to discover, once there, that we had to add €20 from our own pocket to gain access to the site. This point should be mentioned more clearly in the advert! Having said that, our guide was adorable, which helped us get over the hump 😊. In conclusion: a great day out, definitely worth doing again! But the details regarding entrance fees really should be better specified, for example: "Tickets for the temple of Poseidon are not included." Thank you for a memorable experience.

We arrived just before 8am and were a little disappointed that there was already a huge queue. However once the gates opened at 8, the pre-ordered QR codes were read really quickly and everybody got through the gates very efficiently. By the time we left there were a lot of people coming in, many from cruise ships so earlier was definitely better.

This was a fantastic trip from start to finish. Great communication at all points of the trip made the journey seamless. We opted for the 3 star hotel which was a great hotel with very good breakfast included. The two included tours, run by Meteora Thrones, were excellent. It was a bit foggy for our sunset tour but our guide Yannis made it fun and was very informative and flexible to suit the weather. We had opted for the hike on day 2 but due to the weather we couldn't do it. This actually worked out very well! We did the Monastery Tour in the van in the morning and then asked to be dropped in Kastraki when the tour ended. We then had about 4 hours free time so we hiked up to Holy Trinity Monastery (which was not on our tour) starting from Kastraki and hiked back down to Kalabaka to finish, eat and meet the minivan. In the end, we felt we had the best of both worlds. The minivans were excellent as were our drivers and guides (sorry, I can't remember the name of the young lady guide on Day 2). Would definitely recommend this tour and doing two days.

My tour was in Spanish, it was a 2 day tour and in the end it turned into 1. What it says on the internet is not what I bought, I only enjoyed the second day.

Very beautiful, magnificent archaeological sites and also the city of Nafplio. Kind and knowledgeable guide. Only downside, headout that says Mycenae tickets are included but not true. Suggest to change info on site.

In addition to difficulties in using the audio guide, purchased ticket for excursion including lunch arrived in Nafplio lunch was not provided.

We enjoyed this day very much. Highly recommended to visit archaeological sites as important as those of Athens.

The tour was perfect, I want to highlight the role of the guide, super nice, friendly and willing to help. All excellent !!!!

Irene, the guide, was charming. She spoke English and French. We arrived well in advance at the meeting point and she was already there. At the archaeological sites they give you just enough time to see them. They give you a guide which is a mobile app, in the language you want. It works well. Also, Irene gives explanations when you go on the bus. On the other hand, in Nafplion the time they give you is very short, they should at least give you one more hour. We took a sandwich with us, but if you ate in a restaurant, I doubt that you could see anything. And it is a very pretty coastal town. I wanted to go up to the top of the village and take a walk by the sea.

We booked the tour of Mycenae, Nafplio, Epidaurus and Corinth( 20 minutes) . Our escort, though young, was attentive to everyone's needs. The time allotted for each stop was fair, however I would have preferred more time in Nafplio to be able to see the castle and fortress which, unfortunately are not visible in an hour and 30 being on high ground. Tickets to the sites are not included, and a tablet is provided on the bus with information about the sites you are going to visit, so you can unravel your visit more independently. The bus was comfortable. For us it was a nice day and above all it is a very convenient solution to be able to see the main sites without having the "stress" of the car and finding the way by yourself. Also I had found an offer with very good price.

Very kind and very detailed guide . Absolutely recommended

Muy gentil y solicito el guía. Buen itinerario, manejo del tiempo y precio. Las tablas mejorables!
