Athens: Where to Stay, Private Tour Guides

My husband and I are taking a Viking City of Antiquity tour Cruise in November and will be arriving three days ahead to spend more time in Athens. We would like suggestions for a nice hotel in a good location for walking to nearby sites and restaurants. The hotel doesn't have to be high end but clean, quiet, helpful staff. We would also like to have a private tour, it can be a van tour, and possibly venture outside the City of Athens for a day.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

Our family stayed in Athens prior to our cruise as well. We booked at the Electra Palace, and we all liked it. It was very nicely located, clean, quiet and cool (very important as it was hot during our stay.) We had also considered another Electra Hotel (but decided that it would be noisy as it was located very centrally), AVA and Philippos hotels.

While in Athens we booked two tours with Private Greece Tours, an Athens Full Day Tour and a Delphi Full Day Tour. The whole family had a great time. Nikos, the owner, was easy to work with, our communication was timely and he was always eager to help and answer our many, many questions! I would definitely recommend Private Greece Tours.

Another vote for Private Greece Tours! We’ve used them before and will be using them again in Nov.

We will be traveling to Greece in about two weeks. I have booked 5 days of tours with Private Greece Tours. Nikos has been an absolute pleasure to work with and customized our tours to suit our needs and interests. We haven't been on the tours yet, but if they live up to the pre-vacation service we've received from Nikos, I expect they will be spectacular.
