OK tour

Linda_C, Jun 2025

The trip was good and we got to see all of the highlights. A three stars because we were not picked up at our hotel as confirmed online instead we had to walk about five minutes to the bus. The second issue was that the tour guidehad two Tours in one, one was in English one was in French. She went directly from explaining things in English to explaining things in French, which made it very hard to ask questions. It seemed that the French were more able to ask questions after their talk. She should've given us more time after the English version to ask questions. We could've always walked ahead, especially in the museum and look at things before she got there. It seemed like we had much less time with the tour guide than a usual tour again at the end of the tour we were dropped off away from our hotel. If we had not been confirmed as being picked up at our hotel this would not be an issue. We were also told that the bus was too big to get to our hotel but as we got back to our hotel, there was a big bus right in front of the hotel. In both cases, we had to cross several busy streets to get to and from the bus. Have we been picked up at our hotel and been given an English tour the review would be much better.

Very good guide!!

We had booked the excursion in French. Arriving in the coach, the guide spoke English and we found it weird. We informed the guide that our tour was booked in French. She acted very quickly and stopped the French language bus behind ours to get us on board. Nice organization. The guide to the acropolis and the acropolis museum was very good. We had a lot of very interesting information about monuments and Greek history. However, there is not much time to spend in the toilet between the visit of the museum and the visit of the acropolis due to the time slot of the guide. Skip-the-line tickets from the museum and the acropolis are a real plus. You don't have to wait in line. Perfect tour over half a day!
