Frustrating booking experience

We never received an confirmation email or a charge, we thought we didn’t book successfully and had to book on Airbnb instead. We got a charge one day before and they refuse a refund, which is very frustrating.

Skip the line was excellent. A huge time saver and so great not to have to stand there in the Athens summer heat. Our guide Hermes was the best, smart, informative and, best of all, funny. He also made sure to keep us together and safe as we went through the Acropolis and the museum. A great experience!

This tour was so great! Our tour guide (I am so sorry but her name slips my mind) is an archeologist and does tours during the busy summer months. She was brilliant and very educated & knowledgable. My sister & I learned so much. It was hot, hot, hot but worth the climb. Definitely a must-do tour. The museum is air-conditioned, fyi 😊

The Acropolis tour was fabulous due to our guide, Fotini. She enriched the tour greatly with her knowledge and always ensured her group was comfortable and close. My husband and I are in our 70’s and we appreciated her route up to the top where we viewed various antiquities and views, but not massive amounts of steps! The tour is a memory we will not soon forget.

icon Response from Host , Jul 2022
Dear Guest, your feedback surprised us, to say the very least. It is highly unlikely that you have been informed by someone from our team that 9 would be the maximum of a group tour, let alone of our very popular Acropolis of Athens tour. Such a number usually relates to private tours, not group ones. Are you certain you did not enquire about private tours? Our normal average in group tours is 18-22 people, which is still small. We are sorry that you feel disappointed, however, we nowhere mention, nor we tell guests that our group tours consist of a particular number. We would love to hear more details on how this may have happened, so please drop us an email or a text with more specifics on this issue. We're looking forward to hearing from you. We really hope that you will give us another chance to earn your trust, perhaps by arranging a private tour next time, for just your family and friends? Have a nice day, and enjoy the rest of the trip!

Hello Thomas, and thank you for your feedback. We are glad you liked the tour and your guide. We are very surprised by your comment about the museum tickets though, because we have no idea what you mean. Of course we do not sell entrance tickets more than they cost, let alone three times the original price! We offer our guests the skip-the-line service, which means that we have bought the entrance tickets in advance so that guests won't have to wait in long queues. However, we offer this service entirely for free. Please contact us asap to clarify this matter. Thanks again; we look forward to hearing from you soon.
