Top Athens Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises - page 103

We had a great time. Our tour guide, Ellie was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, passionate, and warm and funny about explaining details of the Acropolis. We also did the optional museum tour which enabled us to get so much more out of the experience, we recommend doing both.

The tour was great. Our guide , Peter, was very knowledgeable. He spoke English very clearly and I appreciate that we had headphones to help us hear ( some other tours did not have the feature. He kept us going through the Parthenon and the other temples. He also guided us through the museum point out various aspects of the remnants. There is a fair bit of walking which was expected but people should note that is can be rocky terrain. The steps are often uneven and it is crowded. However , I highly recommend this tour. It was a great way to experience and learn about the Acropolis!!!

Definately go in the AM. We went on a Thurs and Qs were small and the temperature wasnt too hot. Qs on weekend were very long. Our guide Valia was excellent, really knew her stuff and pointed out all the key things and explained what they were. This included in the museum. Tour was about 3.5 hours and was worth every penny. Stunning.

I was worried initially given it was a colder day with rain. The tour guide Roy ensured it would still be a lovely trip and I decided to take the chance and book the tour and I am beyond glad I did! The tour offered easy to access locations for pick up as the bus was to large for the air bnb I was staying at. Pick up was delayed a few minutes due to traffic but it was smooth sailing the entire drive. The first stop was a beautiful lake that if I had more time I would spend a day there swimming and eating at the restaurant. The crystal blue water was so inviting and the views surrounding the lake were gorgeous. This was a quick stop with some history and time for pictures. The next stop was an hour and twenty minutes we could swim, eat, grab a drink, or explore. The bar we stopped at served great food and a delicious cocktail called the windmill. The service was a bit slow but that was because 4 minibus full of people all showed up in succession. You could eat inside ir across the street they had beach seating. We stayed in and enjoyed the costal view and chatted with some of our fellow travelers. The meat tray for 2 was perfect allowing samples of all the items we wanted to try. Reasonably priced for the quality and quantity we recieved. After this stop we still had time to explore the beach and get some pictures. Before arriving to the temple of Poseidon, there was on additional photo stop where we learned more history about the temple. The temple itself was atop a hill with a plateau that provided breathtaking views of islands, bays, ports, and the towns along each. There was a restaurant, souvenir shop, and small museum shop for those who did not want to walk up the moderate incline and walkway to the temple. Viator warns ahead of time but know the entrance fee is 20 euro each cash or card. The cost of admission was well worth the upclose view of the temple and the trails on the grounds leading up. This was a perfect location for a sunset evening. The only improvement could have been a warmer evening but the weather despite being cold held off rain and provided breathtaking views and photos. 10/10 found this tour a phenomenal value. Also of note food was a recommendation not included but given the price of the tour absolutely appropriate to do food on our own especially when being taking directly to a great option.

This was such an informative tour. Our guide Ava was extremely knowledgeable, passionate and thoughtful in her presentation of all the history of the Acropolis and tied that together with the Acropolis Museum, which was amazing. We would highly recommend!

Fantastic trip to Delphi. Elizabeth was a wonderful guide with a wealth of information as an archaeologist. We didn’t realize how much training these guides had to undergo and appreciated how much more we got out of the visit thanks to her. It was about 70 degrees F and sunny — a beautiful day. We were glad it wasn’t any hotter. Definitely recommend a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face and neck. Also bring sunscreen and water. We chose to climb up to the stadium, and it was well worth it. The water came in very handy after that trek. We also loved the little village where we were taken for lunch. We chose to not purchase the included lunch and found a place on our own. There are plenty of choices, many of which were much quieter which was more to our liking. We also recommend climbing to the top of the clock tower after lunch for spectacular views and photos. So far, this tour was a highlight of our trip.

We had a brilliant time on this trip. We were picked up on time & checked on & off the boat at each stop. The crew were attentive, friendly & helpful. Explained where we were & what activities were possible. The lunch was excellent, could eat as much as you wanted & very tasty. On the way back Angelis played his bazooka & sang for us. Couldn’t fault it.

One of the best parts of my trip to Athens! The tour was very well organized, and the guide was both friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I appreciated how they shared interesting stories, not just facts. It made the experience more meaningful. Highly recommend for first-time visitors!
