Creator's Key Takeaways

we were especially excited about this one and being able to visit the Acropolis

it's the first time we received a warning that if the headsets were not returned at the end of the tour we would be charged 50 euro per unreturned device

we'd recommend packing some disposable ice packs we put a couple in our day pack each day and it was especially helpful to me in Santorini and Athens

this is the first tour we've done on this cruise that is accessibility friendly

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack disposable ice packs for hot temperatures
Wear sturdy shoes for slippery marble steps at the Acropolis
Arrive at meeting points on time as tours will not wait
Don't leave personal belongings on the bus between stops
Be cautious of tour guide recommendations for shops and restaurants
