Can I customize the itinerary?

Yes. This is a fully private tour, so your driver will work with you to tailor the route and pace. Discuss your interests—ancient history, local neighborhoods, museums, cafés—when you book or when you meet.

Is skip-the-line access to the Acropolis included?

The tour description mentions visiting the Acropolis, and the private format helps you avoid large group delays. Confirm whether skip-the-line tickets are bundled or purchased separately at booking.

What's included in the EUR 320+ price?

The tour includes 8 hours of private vehicle hire, a professional driver, hotel pickup and drop-off, and air conditioning. Entrance fees to sites (Acropolis, stadium, museums) and meals are typically separate unless specified otherwise—clarify at booking.

How many people can join?

Tours are private, accommodating small groups. Confirm your group size at booking to ensure the right vehicle (minivan or car) is assigned.

Is the tour suitable for elderly travelers or those with mobility issues?

The private vehicle and flexible pacing suit many travelers, but the Acropolis involves uneven stone paths and stairs. Discuss any mobility concerns with the supplier when booking; your driver can suggest accessible alternatives and manage rest stops.

Can my driver provide restaurant recommendations or help arrange lunch?

Yes. Drivers typically offer local dining advice and can reserve tables if notified in advance. Lunch stops are usually at your expense unless pre-arranged as part of a custom package.
