Creator's Key Takeaways

I highly recommend you to try a taxi Tour on your next cruise at least once

this is my unexpected highlight of the day I don't want to offend the Acropolis or the Olympic Stadium but the changing of the guards is what I'll remember most when looking back on Athens

we had an amazing deal no waiting on others no head counts no lines No Buses

this tour is not for the fainted heart but it's definitely moving forward

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Try a taxi tour at least once on your next cruise

✓Visit the Royal Palace for the changing of the guards to avoid crowds and find shade

✓Bring lotion and be prepared for intense heat at the Acropolis

✓Consider a taxi tour over ship-organized tours for better value and flexibility

navigating a foreign port independently — A taxi tour is a great option; just be clear with the driver about your plan and budget
