Cruise-port pickup for a guided Acropolis and Parthenon mythology tour with audio devices, plus optional Acropolis Museum time and Athens free time.

The rest of the time includes travel time to their office, and free time while they’re taking others into the museum. I liked having a guide, but thought it was expensive for how little they are actually with you.”
