    Can you please advise if this tour includes pick up from Athens airport on the day prior to Day 1 of the tour, and the accommodation is for the first night in Athens.

    Flights / Transfers
    • Monterrasol TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      The transfer on the day before Day 1 is not included but can be provided. You can add it to the booking here on Tourradar when you will select tour and accommodation parameters. We provide free pick-up and drop-off to/from any place in Athens, but not to/from the airport. About accommodation, if you mean the accommodation after transfer on the day before Day 1, it's also not included, as this day is not part of the tour.

      Don

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      At this stage we are still looking at this tour but possibly for a date either in late December or early January. I may or may not be in a position to book it before the end of March, before going overseas for 8 weeks then. As it is a private tour there is more flexibility for us. I'll be in touch when I am ready to book.
