Top Athens Bus Tours

Overall this was a great tour. The drive is 4 hours each way with stops half way. We got the tickets that included the meal and the food was not bad, entrees included chicken skewers, pork chop, chicken thigh and sides included rice, a variety of vegetables among other things. The tour guide joined the group at lunch and departed at the same place after the tour. Pick up was directly across from the bus station but just ask to make sure you get on the correct bus, they do have checklists. The guide was awesome and shared a lot of interesting info about the area and the monasteries. We booked this tour the night before and we were so glad, it is definitely worth it. You get to visit 3 monasteries and it is 5 euro per person per monastery to enter, cash only. The other 3 monasteries we just drove by or saw across the cliffs. Women must wear skirts that cover below the knee, which you can borrow, and must cover shoulders. The most steps we climbed was about 200 so not too bad. We stopped at several scenic spots to take picture. It is a very long tour 9am to about 10 or 11pm return depending on traffic which we did get stuck in and slowed us down but tour was still worth it.

The tour was just right. The visit to the Acropolis was excellent, though crowded. The guide was excellent, very informative and just the right level of information. The rest of the tour was fun, pleasant, and Lily was great, providing info and answering questions. Highly recommended.

None of us had used a Segway before, so had a 30 minute lesson on how to use before we set off. Staff were fantastic, nice steady pace and took us to some great spots for photos which were uncrowded, as well as the tour guide giving us some wonderful explanations. Would highly recommend!
