Hello Jesse, we appreciate the feedback. We are sorry you did not enjoy your experience with us, although we are not exactly sure what you mean. Usually the duration of our tours is fixed and our guides are very precise about it. We would like to learn more about the situation you describe. Could you please drop us a few lines by email or sms with more details? Thank you in advance, and enjoy the rest of your holiday.

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.

Glad we booked this tour

Worth the price of the tickets! Amaryllis was an engaging guide and very knowledgeable. We made several stops on the way to the top so that she could give us background information on what we were seeing. She also made sure to find the shady spots. Our family of four really enjoyed this tour.

We were told the group would be a maximum of 9 but instead was 18 people. Too many for this type tour. Disappointing
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!

The tour is well worth it. The tour starting point was easy to find. Our guide Theodora was amazing and very informative. She gave wonderful insights and stopped in the shade to help keep us cooler (94 F and sunny). The hearing devices allowed us to hear everything clearly and made so much difference.

We never expected the level of detail and knowledge shared on our tour. She brought a depth of knowledge and appreciation of what we were looking at as an archeologist. She shared the significance of what we were looking and why we should view it as such. She then went beyond the tour and assisted us with a taxi afterwards. Thank you, Irene, for an unforgettable experience and the kindness to take care of us along the way.

Great tour and tour guide did a nice job. Disappointed to find that they sell tickets to the museum at three times the going rate before the tour. Advise just purchasing when you arrive.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
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.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
