All should use the whisper radio system, a small investment but we can all hear the stories.

I do recommend that you add the museum to your tour since there is so much to cover inside.

Lovely views, wonderful trip

Lorie_S, Mar 2023

This tour was fantastic! Our guide was knowledgeable and witty. We really enjoyed it. The walk up the Acropolis was slow with several stops. You don't need to be in great cardio condition to enjoy this tour. However, if you have walking issues, I'd recommend another trip. Several older people on our tour were having difficulty with the walk. Our guide was very gracious to them. But it did make the walk up a bit slow in my opinion.

excellent tour

marciano_a, Mar 2023

Beautiful Acropolis

David_R, Mar 2023

Wonderful trip into the heritage of ancient Greek history and culture. A well planned trip and executed perfectly. The guide was very knowledgeable and understanding. She explained everything in detail with the great context. The Acropolis, museum and surrounding sites are truly inspirational. So much is packed into those few hours yet the guide was wonderful. The museum is absolutely awesome. A must see tour. Thanks. David

A very nice tour around Athens and the Acropolis. I enjoyed our guide’s history lesson about ancient Athens and its people. Well worth the cost of the tour.

Very edifying experience.

Mark_G, Feb 2023

Our guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and articulate. The weather was very pleasant. Getting up and down the steps of the Acropolis was quite challenging for my wife and me, but we are glad to have soldiered through it.

Amazing, Informative tour!

Roger_C, Feb 2023

This was an Amazing trip! Lily and Alex did a great job with a ton of interesting information and a comfortable and safe ride. Well worth the price!

Very average wine tasting.

Jim_a, Feb 2023

The young lady who did the presetation was very good. We enjoyed the wine and cheese but we were expecting cold cuts too as that is what the ad had said. We paid over $100 for the evening experience and did not get close to getting our moneys worth. We were still hungry when we left and got very little wine. I do not recommend this excursion. We also had the expense of taxi rides so our experience was close to $140. We could have had a nice meal with wine elsewhere for that price. Go elsewhere and enjoy yourself more.

Denise_P, Dec 2022

Rose was an excellent guide who brought to life all that we saw along our travels for the day. Very informative, kind, and helpful.

A great tour for central Athens!

Afshan_B, Dec 2022

It was a good tour! We started off in a coach and passed by all the key monuments which our tour guide called out and provided us with the history of. We even stopped off at a few places to get a better look which was amazing. You can do the acropolis by yourself but with our guide, it was really good to know the history of everything and what’s going on before we went to explore by ourself. Highly recommend the tour!

Levana_L, Nov 2022

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. We learned a lot and enjoyed the experience very very much

Mainly for the healthy

Monique_G, Nov 2022

The guide was was really versed in Greek history and was great. The tour was a little misleading for me. I thought it was supposed to be a bus tour that did not require a wheelchair. My husband and father were unable to see the Acropolis because we were told there were 20 steps. The climb was challenging. I recommend the tour if able the complete a hike.

Enjoyable Tour

Cliff_R, Nov 2022

We loved the Acropolis Museum. Our guide was excellent and she seemed to have a deep love for Greek history. The Acropolis was also interesting also however it was much more crowded than the museum which took away from the experience. The bus tour portion took us around parts of Athens.

Athens Overview

Steven_A, Nov 2022

Our guide was so knowledgeable - I wish I had done this first. It is impossible to see Athens in one day - this tour was some significant highlights in and around the Acropolis area. With museum admission included this is a very good value.
