Athens Tour Review - Why I Paid Twice For This Cruise Ship Excursion

Creator's Key Takeaways
There have only been two times in all of my travel and cruise years where I've actually scheduled the same excursion tour twice. And Athens, Greece is that place.
Our driver's name was Andonis. He was fantastic. Such a lovely person, just so calming, super safe driver.
I'm not going to be adding affiliate links just for the sake of having links. It is going to be Laura approved living on cruise control experience that I would not only highly recommend, but I actually paid to do it twice.
We were never just walking in the heat out in the sun, you know, waiting for a bus or waiting for a ride. Um, it was pretty fantastic and very, very comfortable.
