Greece VIP packages bundle a private driver or guide, a reserved vehicle or boat seat and set extras into one plan. Find more trip ideas on Greece Tours. Below we sort the package types, from Athens private tours and VIP cruises to wine, spa, honeymoon and island plans. We add sample multi-day sequences, the months, the group sizes and the booking rules.
What are Greece VIP packages?
Greece VIP packages are tours and transfers sold in a private or reserved format. You get your own driver or guide and a vehicle or boat seat kept for your party. Set extras such as lunch, water or Wi-Fi come with it. Each operator lists those extras on the booking page.
The label comes from the operators, so the terms differ from one listing to the next. That is why this hub of Greece VIP packages reads the real published terms, not one fixed definition. Operators put the terms in the title, in the short description and in the list of what the booking includes.
GetYourGuide tags each gig with short labels: private group, small group, pickup available, skip the line and wheelchair accessible. The VIP transfer carries the private group and pickup labels. The full-day tour with a driver guide carries private group and small group together.
Check these labels first. They show the format before you read the description. They also help you compare Greece VIP packages across operators.
The Athens gigs offer pickup from a hotel, an Airbnb, the airport or the port of Piraeus. The sections below sort Greece VIP packages by type, and each type links to the page that owns the topic. The VIP packages category collects the single-package pages.
What do Greece VIP packages include that a standard tour does not?
A private listing adds pickup and drop-off, a vehicle used only by your group, a flexible route and onboard extras. One Athens luxury half-day tour lists Wi-Fi, a bottle of water for each passenger and car seats on request. These items sit in the “Includes” list on the booking page.
That luxury half-day tour is run by My Athens Transfers. Its “Includes” list reads like a checklist for Greece VIP packages:
- A private tour with only your group on board
- Pickup and drop-off at your Athens hotel, your Airbnb or the Piraeus port
- An air-conditioned vehicle with Wi-Fi on board
- One bottle of water per passenger
- An English-speaking driver and a flexible itinerary
- Car seats on request
The same listing also draws a clear line around what stays outside the package. The driver is not a licensed guide and does not escort guests inside archaeological sites or museums. A licensed guide is available on request at an extra cost. Entrance fees and tips are paid separately.
The tour lets you shape the day. The option you select decides which stop is added. One option adds the Roman Agora. Two more add a museum, either the Acropolis Museum or the National Archaeological Museum. A fourth adds the Ancient Agora with the Temple of Hephaestus.
An airport pickup or drop-off is available on request at an additional cost.
Other operators add their own extras. A hotel tour desk in Athens lists soft drinks, water, snacks and Wi-Fi on all its tours. It also sells early-morning Acropolis access for a small group. It offers helicopter and yacht services on request.
A limousine-association member lists chauffeur-driven vehicles, multilingual guides and custom packages. It also organizes weddings and other events in estates, villas and luxury hotel areas. Read the “Includes” list before you pick any of the Greece VIP packages on offer. Each operator fills it in differently, so compare the lists line by line.
Which Athens private tours work as the base of Greece VIP packages?
Five Athens private gigs work as a base. They are a VIP transfer with driver hire, two luxury half-day tours and two full-day tours. One full-day tour is all-inclusive and one comes with a driver guide. Each one covers a different length of day.
Athens: VIP Airport-Pickup Transfer or Full-Day Driver Hire runs from 1 to 12 hours. It is a private group booking with pickup. The operator offers economy, premium or limousine service between Athens Airport, hotels and the Piraeus port. A booking needs a lead time of at least 4 hours.
One booking covers a short airport run or a full working day with a driver. Use it at both ends of your Greece VIP packages, and fill the days between with the tours below. The limousine-association member above calls a private transfer more practical than a rental car or public transport in busy Athens.
Athens: Luxury Private Half-Day Tour takes 4 to 5 hours and is wheelchair accessible. A second luxury half-day private tour pairs a local guide with a chance to try local flavors. It includes pickup and drop-off.
The first half-day tour spends about 1 to 1.5 hours on the Acropolis. It then drives past the Panathenaic Stadium and Mount Lycabettus. The route ends with Syntagma Square and the Hellenic Parliament.
Lead times differ. The first half-day tour needs a booking 10 hours ahead. The local-guide tour needs 8 hours. Keep both numbers in mind when you plan the first morning of your Greece VIP packages.
Athens: Full-Day Private Tour, Customized & All-Inclusive lasts 8 hours with a personal driver and a luxury vehicle. It lists the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora among its sights. Both full-day tours list a pickup and need a booking 10 hours ahead. The all-inclusive tour is also wheelchair accessible and lists a private option.
Athens: Private Full-Day City Tour with Driver Guide lasts 6.5 hours and takes a small group. It visits the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Ancient Agora and the Panathenaic Stadium.
Vehicles, guides and the Acropolis ticket are explained on our Athens private tour page. Treat these tours as the first block of your Greece VIP packages. The remaining sections cover the next blocks. Add the cruise, the flight or the dinner that fits your trip.
Which VIP day cruise fits Greece VIP packages from Athens?
The Saronic Islands cruise with VIP seats gives Greece VIP packages one fixed block of 12 hours. GetYourGuide lists a lunch buffet, pickup and free cancellation, and the booking closes 10 hours before departure.
The listing is called From Athens: Saronic Islands Full-Day Cruise with VIP Seats. Travellers rate it 4.6 out of 5 across 115 reviews. The operator promises VIP services and a special lunch buffet on a cruise to three islands.
Athens Day Cruise sells its own VIP ticket for Hydra, Poros and Aegina. The operator site lists hotel transfers both ways and priority embarkation. It adds a welcome drink, a business class buffet and an executive lounge. GetYourGuide shows the product as Athens VIP Cruise: Hydra, Poros & Aegina | Official Operator, 11 hours long.
The sailing leaves at 7:45 in the morning and returns at 7:45 in the evening. Guests arrive 30 minutes early. A cruise day in Greece VIP packages therefore needs an early hotel pickup. The one day cruise from Athens page covers the standard ticket.
The luxury cruises to Agistri, Metopi or Moni and Aegina take 10 hours. Both promise a Greek buffet with unlimited drinks and a swim. Agistri, Metopi & Aegina Luxury Cruise with Meals & Drinks scores 4.8 across 2,837 reviews. Luxury Cruise to Agistri, Moni & Aegina with Lunch & Drinks scores 4.7 across 2,307. The Agistri Metopi Aegina swimming cruise page compares them.
How do island cruise and island hopping work in Greece VIP packages?
An island hopping package joins ferry legs, hotel nights and transfers under one booking. In Greece VIP packages a private or small-group layer sits on top of those legs. The listings below show the legs one by one. Our Athens Crete Rhodes 7 days plan joins three stops with two flights.
Single ferry listings show how long each leg lasts. The SeaJets ferry between Santorini and Mykonos takes 215 to 255 minutes, and the listing is wheelchair accessible. The ferry between Santorini and Heraklion on Crete takes 95 to 100 minutes. Both ask for a booking at least 10 hours ahead.
A third listing joins a one-way Santorini to Mykonos ferry ticket with a hotel transfer to the port. It lasts 3 hours, uses an e-ticket and asks for a booking 3 days ahead. That is the smallest ready-made piece of an island hopping package: a crossing with its own transfer.
A two-day trip from Athens to Santorini and Mykonos goes further. GetYourGuide says transport and accommodation are taken care of, and travellers rate it 4.2 out of 5 across 76 reviews. The private Santorini and Mykonos week has its own page. The Greek island hopping page covers timetables and routes.
Notice periods differ: 10 hours for the ferry-only legs and 3 days for the ticket with a transfer. Greece VIP packages that chain two crossings start with the leg that needs the longest notice. Here that leg is the ticket with the transfer.
Do Greece VIP packages add a private yacht or a helicopter flight?
Yes. A package adds a boat day or a helicopter flight as its own block. Half-day boat listings from Athens run 5 hours, and a Santorini sunset helicopter flight runs 20 minutes. Full charter terms and Athens flight details sit on separate pages.
Three GetYourGuide boat listings from Athens last 5 hours each. The Athens Riviera sunset cruise has a swim and an onboard BBQ. It sits under Alimos and scores 4.9 across 113 reviews. A half-day cruise on a traditional boat adds a swim stop, lunch, drinks and pickup. The semi-private Cape Sounion sunset tour adds a dinner stop.
Viator lists a private island hopping yacht tour from Athens to Poros and Hydra. It also lists a private cruise to the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio with snorkeling. Greece VIP packages treat a whole-yacht booking as a charter. The Athens yacht charter page explains how that works.
Helicopter listings split into two types. The Santorini private romantic sunset flight lasts 20 minutes in a Bell 206 and includes a personal briefing. Its booking closes 5 hours ahead. A one-way private transfer from Chania to Santorini, Athens, Mykonos or other islands lasts 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.
Viator also lists private helicopter flights between islands. They start on Paros, Hydra, Spetses or Ios and end in Athens, Mykonos or Santorini. The Athens helicopter tour page covers the flights over the capital. In Greece VIP packages a helicopter leg states its time in minutes.
Which Greece VIP packages cover the Peloponnese and the Apostle Paul route?
A private luxury Apostle Paul tour from Athens takes 6 hours. It covers Ancient Corinth, biblical landmarks and the Corinth Canal. It runs for a private group with free cancellation, so Greece VIP packages use it as a half-day block.
GetYourGuide lists it as Private Luxury Tour: Apostle Paul’s Footsteps – Corinth, with 5 out of 5 across 10 reviews. The listing offers pickup and asks for a booking 10 hours ahead. The Apostle Paul tour page sets out the route stop by stop.
A wider Peloponnese day is the private tour of Ancient Corinth, Epidaurus and Nafplio from Athens. GetYourGuide promises a personal driver and an 8-hour day, with 4.9 out of 5 across 10 reviews. The listing asks for a booking 20 hours ahead. Viator lists a luxury full-day tour to Mycenae, Epidaurus, Nafplio and the Isthmus Canal.
The private Delphi and Thermopylae guided day trip from Athens lasts 10 hours and scores 4.9 across 67 reviews. It visits the Temple of Apollo, the Ancient Theater and the museum at Delphi, then the Thermopylae monument and museum. It runs for a private group, with pickup and a skip-the-line entry.
Three private days from Athens last 6, 8 and 10 hours. They give Greece VIP packages a step from a half day to a full day. Pair two of them on separate dates, with a rest day between.
Which food and wine experiences belong in Greece VIP packages?
Private winery trips with hotel pickup, rooftop pairing dinners and short sommelier tastings suit these packages. The winery trips act as the main food slot of the day. The tastings fill the gaps, so Greece VIP packages can mix both without rushing.
The longest option is From Athens: Ancient Sparta and Nemea Wine Country Day Trip. It runs 8 hours as a private group with pickup, and the tasting happens at the Domaine Skouras winery. Greece VIP packages treat a trip like this as the anchor of the day.
A shorter option is Athens: Athens Wine Tasting and Wine tour at a Castle. It lasts 3 to 4 hours and offers pickup and a private option. The estate has a neogothic tower and olive groves, and the tasting comes with local delicacies.
City slots are shorter. Athens: Acropolis Wine Tasting with Cheese and Olives lasts 1 to 1.5 hours and has a private option. For the evening, Athens: 7-Course Dinner and Wine Pairing with Acropolis View is a 3-hour small-group dinner on a rooftop. Our Athens wine tasting guide covers the grape styles in the glass.
Can Greece VIP packages include a Greek night with bouzouki music?
Yes. Athens lists Greek nights of 2, 3 and 4 hours, and Santorini and Crete list their own versions. Greece VIP packages favour the evenings that list pickup, because the group then travels to the venue and back together. Our Zorba’s Athens by Night 4 days plan puts a tavern dinner and a bouzouki show between a city tour and the airport transfer.
Athens: Traditional Greek Show in Plaka with Dinner lasts 3 hours and lists pickup. Dancers perform lively folk dances while guests eat Mediterranean dishes in a historic taverna. The listing counts 326 reviews on GetYourGuide.
Bouzoukia and Paniguri Greek Culture Experience runs 4 hours with pickup and skip-the-line entry. The listing names live music, traditional dances, plate smashing and flower throwing. The Athens Greek night guide explains the music and the dances themselves.
The islands sell shows too. Santorini: The Greek Wedding Show. Dance, Sip, Smash a Plate lasts 2 hours. The show runs inside a restored 200-year-old home in Fira, with music, wine and meze.
On Crete, Heraklion:Cretan Evening with Traditional Dinner&Dance Show takes 6.5 hours and lists pickup. Guests learn dance steps in the village of Pano Karouzano. Live bouzouki and lyra music plays with the dinner.
Which spa, thalassotherapy and honeymoon extras fit Greece VIP packages?
Lake Vouliagmeni spa days and private couple tours suit these packages. The lake trips list hotel pickup, and one private version adds a driver, skip-the-line entry and a sun lounger. Greece VIP packages place these extras on the lighter days.
From Athens: Lake Vouliagmeni Spa & Temple of Poseidon Tour lasts 6 hours with pickup and skip-the-line entry. The private version is Private Luxury Getaway: Lake Vouliagmeni Luxury Entry & Temple of Poseidon. It lasts 8 hours and lists these items:
- A private vehicle and driver with hotel pickup and drop-off
- Skip-the-line admission to the lake, a sun lounger and a beverage
- Lunch at a tavern and admission to the Temple of Poseidon
Thalassotherapy takes its name from the Greek word thalassa, which means sea. Wikipedia defines it as the use of seawater as therapy. It adds that no scientific evidence shows that it works. A package therefore treats it as a seaside rest, not a cure. The Athens spa and wellness guide covers the hammams.
Inland, Small-Group Day Tour from Athens to Delphi and an Ancient Spa lasts 12 hours. It includes a swim at the ancient thermal spa at Hot Gates. Wikipedia says Thermopylae takes its name from its hot sulphur springs.
Couples have their own options. From Athens: Private Cape Sounion Tour, Beach Stop or Sunset is a private tour for couples or groups. It lists pickup, and guests choose a day tour with swimming or an afternoon sunset tour.
On Santorini, Santorini: Private Oia & Red Beach Tour with Caldera Views runs 3 to 6 hours on a flexible route. Honeymoon Greece VIP packages join the two ideas. The Athens honeymoon guide covers the city side.
Do Greece VIP packages cover golf or horse riding?
Horse riding does, because the ride listings carry pickup, lunch and private options. Golf is booked with the club or resort, because the golf results on GetYourGuide are mini-golf parks. Greece VIP packages add riding as a tour and golf as a club booking.
Glyfada Golf Course sits 1.5 km from the sea. Its site puts it 35 minutes from the airport, from Piraeus port and from the city centre. Golf on Greece VIP packages starts from such a base.
At Costa Navarino in Messinia, the Dunes, Bay and Hills courses take tee times and golf packages online. The Bay course is par 71, and the Hills course is par 72 over 6,280 yards. For island rounds, read the Corfu golf and Rhodes golf guides.
Heraklion: Finikia Horse Riding Tour with Lunch or Dinner lasts 4.5 hours, lists pickup and has 1,481 reviews. A Cretan lunch or dinner with homemade wine follows the ride on a farm. Greece VIP packages use this ride as the Crete anchor.
Near Chania, Horse Riding during the Sunset, Drone videos & dinner lasts 6 hours. It lists hotel pickup, drone videos and a traditional dinner. The Crete horse riding guide lists the stables and trails.
Santorini: Private Horse Riding with picnic is a private group ride of 2.5 hours. It lists pickup, a picnic and local wine. The listing calls it a private romantic ride through the Vlychada canyons to Eros Beach. Near Athens, Attica Horse Trekking Adventure lasts 1.5 hours for a small group at NK Equestrian in Malakasa.
How do you build multi-day Greece VIP packages from these parts?
Stack one long day, one shorter day and one evening slot per night. The full-day private tour lists 8 hours. The island cruise lists 10 hours, and the Apostle Paul route lists 6 hours. Every sum below uses listed durations only. Our 9 day Greece itinerary runs that stacking over Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and Crete.
Keep the two 10-hour days apart. The island cruise and the Delphi day trip each list 10 hours. A rest day or a short half-day tour between them keeps the group fresh. Greece VIP packages run smoothly when the long days alternate with short ones.
- Two days, 18 hours: the 8-hour full-day private tour, then the 10-hour island cruise.
- Three days, 23 to 24 hours: the 4-to-5-hour luxury half-day tour plus the 3-hour Greek show with dinner, then the 10-hour Delphi trip, then the 6-hour Vouliagmeni spa tour.
- Four days, 31 hours: the 6-hour Apostle Paul route plus a 2-hour private wine tasting, then the island cruise, then the 5-hour luxury half-day tour plus the 2-hour dinner theatre, then the spa tour.
- Five days, 34 to 39 hours: the four-day plan plus the Santorini luxury private island tour, which lists 3 to 8 hours.
No plan above has an Athens day longer than 10 hours. The four-day plan runs 8, 10, 7 and 6 hours, so the group has the evenings free for dinner. The five-day plan adds an island day of 3 to 8 hours. Our 10 day Greece itinerary keeps one night in Athens at each end and spends the rest in the Cyclades.
The Athens excursion package shows one fixed itinerary of this kind. Greece VIP packages built from separate gigs let you swap a single day without rebooking the rest.
Add the 50-minute helicopter tour as a short slot on any afternoon. It lists a small group and a private group, so it fits between a morning tour and a dinner.
Which months and group sizes suit Greece VIP packages?
The month sets the order of the days. The Athens climate table gives a mean daily high of 34.3 °C in July and August. January falls to 13.3 °C. The booking forms take 7 to 20 adults, depending on the gig.
Summer in Athens is sunny and dry, and the long outdoor days of the sequences above suit it. The Meltemi winds blow until October and peak in July and August. Athens appointed a chief heat officer to deal with severe heat waves. In summer, put the island cruise and the spa tour in the cooler hours of the stay. Our 12 day Greece tour spends those long days on Syros, Milos and Santorini after two days in Athens.
Rain falls in the winter months. The Athens climate table lists 76.3 mm in December and 70.8 mm in November, against 5.4 mm in August. Greece VIP packages in winter lean on the indoor slots, such as the wine tasting and the dinner theatre.
The booking forms set the group size. The driver service takes 7 adults. The Apostle Paul route and the wine tasting take 8. The 5-hour luxury half-day tour takes 12, and the full-day private tours take 14.
The Delphi trip and the Santorini luxury island tour take 15 adults each. The two island cruises take 15 and 20. A larger party reads the limit of each gig first. It then fixes its days around the smallest limit.
The wheelchair accessible label appears on the 4-to-5-hour luxury half-day tour and the full-day all-inclusive private tour. The helicopter tour and the dinner theatre carry it as well. The Santorini luxury island tour carries it too. It is missing on the cruises, the Delphi trip, the Corinth route and the spa tour.
What do travellers ask about these Greece VIP packages?
How far ahead do you book the gigs?
Each form states its own cut-off. The Greek show with dinner needs 4 hours and the helicopter tour 3 hours. The 4-to-5-hour luxury half-day tour needs 10 hours, and the private wine tasting needs 2 days.
Is cancellation free?
Every gig in the sequences above carries the Free cancellation label on GetYourGuide. Read the cut-off on the listing before you pay for the first day of your Greece VIP packages. Our 13 day Greece cultural tour puts a ticketed site or a tour on each of its mainland days.
Does a gig pick you up?
The Pickup available label sits on the private Athens tours, the island cruises and the Greek show. It also sits on the Delphi trip, the Corinth route and the spa tour. The wine tasting, the dinner theatre and the helicopter tour carry no pickup label. Book a driver for those slots.
Which languages do the guides speak?
Guides in Greece VIP packages speak the languages the listings state. The full-day driver-guide tour lists English and Greek. The luxury half-day tour lists English. The Delphi trip lists English and Spanish. The two island cruises list 14 and 11 languages.
Can children join?
Child ages differ by gig in Greece VIP packages. The Greek show with dinner takes children aged 3 to 12. One island cruise takes children aged 6 to 10. The spa tour takes adults from age 10.
Do the private tours carry the Skip the line label?
Yes. In these Greece VIP packages, the private Athens tours list it. The Delphi trip, the wine tasting and the spa tour list it too. The island cruises, the Corinth route and the helicopter tour do not.
