The perfect way to see the sights of Athens. Our tour guide Anti, was such a wonderful storyteller. She brought the history and mythology to life for us and our 2 twelve year old girls. The last stop at the taverna was great too.

Ava was not only thorough but helpful with historical facts. We all enjoyed her humor and information. There were however a couple of times when it would’ve been nice to just breathe it all in without all the statistics and information. Truth be told she asked a number of times if she was talking too much…it just felt wrong to say so…

Way overpriced! Did not include acropolis tickets. Food not good. Guide very sweet and informative but should be half the price and should include cost for acropolis!
Response from Host, May 2025
Dear Chrystal, we are glad you enjoyed your tour but felt the cost was high with tickets an additional cost. Our tour is set at a very competitive price, and we do mention this cost as prominently as possible in the tours main details. I see we had also sent you this information by message 6 weeks before your tour, and again in two reminders in the week leading up to your date, to which you asked us to buy tickets on your behalf, which we did.
However, taking your feedback into account we have now added an option including tickets, so guests are able to choose this all inclusive option on booking.
We thank you for your comments & helping us improve our experience and wish you all the very best and safe future travels.

Our tour operator, Jacquard, was a font of information on the culture and history of the acropolis and Greece. It was a great experience. So glad we booked an expert archeologist for our tour.
