Athens 4 hour tour - Climbing the steps to the Acropolis and seeing the original Olympic stadium were the highlights of the tour. Even with all the traffic we managed to see everything we wanted and more.

Incredible experience! - Our TA recommend a private tour with a guide. So glad we listened. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and provided information and facts that we would never have found on our own. Would definitely recommend the tour! Worth the higher cost.

Recommend this tour company - Great guide (Theo) he was very knowledgeable had a good sense of humour and kept us entertained. The sights were very good, everything explained in detail and we had enough time at every stop. Only reason we did not give it a 5 star was the fact that the audio packs didn’t work at the Acropolis and because it was very busy we couldn’t hear the guide.

Good tour but not great. Overpriced and not customized. - I would give it 3.5 stars. We did receive excellent communication prior to our tour as there was a strike in Greece on the day of the tour which impacted and complicated pick up and start of tour and any questions that we had were quickly addressed. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. However, it was not customized nor were we asked about places we wanted to go and was only 3 hours. We thought the tour was overpriced and a little rushed. Compared to other private tours we have taken, this was the most expensive and disappointing.
