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

YouTube Video Description

One of the best tours we had! When we arrive in the port of Piraeus it is very hot. We wait until noon to go explore Athens and get a 3 hour tour from Kostas, an amazing cab driver. It's a race!
