Our tour guides were very pleasant and knowledgeable on Greek History. You will need good walking shoes to walk up to the Acropolis and bring water for the summer heat. I highly recommend this tour.

This was a great, thorough experience of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The city tour part was also entertaining. We especially enjoyed witnessing the changing of the guard at the Parliament. Danai our guide was terrific.

Excellent experience and extremely informative! This was the perfect amount of time to experience a mini tour of Athens. Well, planned out and well organized. Pay attention to the meeting point and be there on time to start your day. Comfortable shoes….. and dress for the weather

The tour was very interesting. We visited all the important places of Acropolis with a good guide! If you plan to go to Athens definitely you have to do this tour!! The bus very comfortable. I only want to mention that the group was not 15 people. We were 21. Not a problem at all it is only for you to consider that is a bigger group.

Peggy our tour guide was amazing. Super knowledgeable about Athens. Very lovely and pleasant. We literally saw all of Athens on our tour. Never felt rushed and Peggy and her driver went above and beyond to make the most memorable experience for my family. Highly highly recommend. Worth every penny!

Great way to explore the top attractions in Athens if you are limited on time ! Illiana was a great tour guide - she was very nice and very knowledgeable about her city and its attractions ! George gave us the tour of Acropolis and he was very nice and knowledgeable too ! Tour was well worth the time and money.

It was very hot but the van was nice with AC. The pros were that the tour guide was informational about Greece. However, there was no information that one of us in the family group couldn’t do so many stairs. So I basically paid $100 dollars for one them to sit at the bottom of the hill. Then the rest of us continued with the tour guide who was not really interested or even look back once to see if we were behind her. She kept walking through people. It was like chasing our tour guide the whole time. Luckily we were are young. I just don’t suggest this tour if you are over 60 years old with knee problems or walking long distances. Then we hiked back to the van after the tour where I met my other family member. When we were ready to leave on the bus. There was a missing couple in our group. We had to wait for them for about 10 minutes or so. I did not mind waiting. The couple told the tour guide that she was going too fast and couldn’t keep up with the group. Anyways, you see why you should be prepared for about 500 steps and steep hike up the mountain….something about elevators need to ask for permission. Then she continued the tour around the city to jump in and out for 5 minutes at a time and jump back into Van.

Great tour guide inside acropolis (Panos). Love the friendliness and service of debbie ( maybe i spelled it wrong)she gave lunch recommendations which were good and made reservations for us as we were a big grp. Anna the sounio sunset guide also dropped us off an easy walk to our hotels, gave dinner reservations.

This was a great way to see Athens in a short amount of time. They showed up on time to the meeting point and had an AC van for us. They also provided cold water after we had been outside in the heat. Athena was a fabulous tour guide and she had great knowledge of all of the buildings around us. Peggy was our licensed tour guide for the acropolis and she made sure we had the best spot to take pictures and found us shade (it was almost 100° f). Make sure you wear shoes that you can walk in up to the acropolis because it is rather slippery up there because all of the stones have been worn down.
