Good introduction to Athens. You'll probably want to go out and see more of the city after the tour. The tour does include the ticket to various historical sites, like the Temple of Zeus, in the city which is nice.
The tour was great! Liked the fact that our tour guide was a professor at the Univ. of Athens. expected a few more stops along the way as mentioned in the tour details (Temple of Zeus etc.) but we were only given tickets to got here on our own time. That was a bit dissapointing. Rest was great !
This is a well constructed tour for any new comers to Athens. The main focus of the tour is a visit to the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. The tour also goes past some of Athens key sites including the old Olympic stadium, the Temple of Zeus and the Museum of Archaeology. Our tour guide, Rhea, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and had a keen passion for everything that was on the tour. Her enthusiasm really made the tour complete. If you have not been to Athens before, this would be a great way for anyone to start learning a bit more about the city. It also includes a ticket that can be used to visit some of the other sites in Athens such as the Temple of Zeus and so is great value for money.
Adequate time to Zeus temple and Parthenon. Very good guide.
Our Tour director was fabulous and very informative. I do wish our stop at the Temple of Zeus was a bit longer. Don't miss this opportunity to see the amazing sights and history.
If you don't have too much time in Athens, this half-day sightseeing tour is a good option. During the trip, you will see the most important places in the city; however, the focus is on Acropolis. There will be 3 stops at the old Olympic stadium, Temple of Zeus and Acropolis. You will only pass the Parliament, but I highly recommend to go there on your own in order to see the guard change; it happens every hour. Acropolis is amazing, and there is so much to see that nobody came back to the bus after the trip but continued the sightseeing on their own. Overall, well organized trip and saves you lots of time!
We don't regret doing this tour, but it would have been nice to know upfront that it would be bilingual French and English, so that we could have considered other options. Having to deal with two languages wasted a lot of time, and we felt that we could have had more information had the tour only been in English. Also, the tour description says that it includes the Acropolis museum; it does not. That said, it is easy to see on your own after the Acropolis, just don't get back on the bus when the tour ends. FYI, the tour includes a multi-ticket good for other sights to tour on your own - it was used during the tour for the temple of Zeus as well as the Acropolis.
