Top Athens Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises - page 108

Stefanos gave us the most amazing tour of Athens! His knowledge and passion made it come alive …..as this was our first time experiencing Greece! His energy and enthusiasm was genuine and heartfelt. From the first handshake in the morning to the hug goodbye in the afternoon, we learned more than we could have ever expected. It was the absolute perfect way to begin our vacation. We rarely write reviews but couldn’t pass up this opportunity to give him the credit he deserves! We walked away from the day with a deeper understanding of how Greek culture influenced Western Civilization. Thank you Stefanos for the most meaningful and memorable day!

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.

Really well organized tour. I was surprised to see how well they managed to keep on schedule considering the amount of people, the distance traveled and the multiple stops. Our guides and drivers were really good and considered with members of our party that had limited mobility. Meteora is absolutely beautiful and is worth the long day! However, consider your circumstances and those of your group, you need to be in good physical conditions to make the most out of this trip as only one of the monasteries has fewer stairs compared to the others (it is not step free) also be aware that access to toilets required going up or down stairs in most instances. We all enjoyed the trip very much and what we got to see. Our only disappointment was with the food at the last stop, the place called Camino (to be fair, the main purpose of the stop was to break the 4 hour drive and food was optional but as a guide to other travelers - we ordered the Greek salad and it certainly was nothing like it and very overpriced. The pizzas looked good though, and other passengers seemed to be happy with those)

Our our guide was a former national guard and a graduate of archaeological and history studies at the university of Athens. He knew exactly the best place in the city to view the changing of the guard and provided us with personal information into what it means to be a member of the National Guard. He taught us about the history of Athens in a very engaging and entertaining fashion. He knew exactly where to park so that we would have quick and easy access to points of interest within the city. He took us to a plateau in the city that would would not be accessible by a tour bus, but only in a smaller van or automobile. The vistas that he showed us were breathtaking and highlighted the beauty of Athens. We have toured many cities in the world and have been with many different guides. This individual stands out as one of the two best we have ever had.

This was a great experience! The guide was very educated and shred so much knowledge and information with us. The pace was perfect. You have to climb a lot and many areas are very steep, but the guide made it easy by stopping often while he talked which made the climb easy. He also took us in the museum and did a great job connecting all of the prices to what we had just seen outside. Excellent!

Had a great time on this tour of the 3 islands. The crew were incredibly accommodating and made the entire experience worth revisiting in the future. We also had a great group of travelers and made friends with a number of them on the trip. Don’t hesitate to book, a must do in Athens.

We did this tour during the day and it was amazing. Thankfully, the rain cleared up and it made the experience so much magical. It feels like like you are in a movie with the wind and the waves smashing against the rocks and the temple right at the edge. It honestly was great. Our tour guide Julia, had so much knowledge and provided a detailed explanation of the history of Athens. We were very happy with their services.
