Dimitri was an excellent tour driver. We saw the Olympic Stadium, the Parthenon and its museum. My favorite was the changing of the guard - mostly because Dimitri explained in detail the symbolism of the actions and uniform. Dimitri provided a lot of history and taught us a few Greek greatings. He always found excellent parking for access to our tour spots and gave us enough time to enjoy our visit on our own time, as well. I highly recommend Dimitri!

Okay

Kinda boring. Wished we had more time in the town than the museum. The bus was comfortable. Knowledgeable guide. Not a tour for kids.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We regret to hear that such renowned and fascinating sights as the Acropolis Museum, Parthenon, Temple of Nike, Plaka, Marble Panathenaic Stadium did not meet your expectations. In full accordance with tour description, this was a shared tour designed to cover the must-see highlights of Athens, not a customizable private tour tailored to specific interests, such as a visit to Athens Zoo or similar attractions for kids, as you expected. When booking future tours through Viator, we highly recommend reviewing the tour descriptions in detail to ensure they align with your preferences. Wishing you safe and enjoyable travels.

Great overview of the sites. Does not go to the Acropolis.

Bernadette_C, Oct 2024

This was a fabulous excursion! A little bit of everything. A little disappointed that we didn’t go to the Acropolis/Parthenon…. We viewed it from below and a parallel hill. Would have liked a little more time in the town of Plaka and the museum. Was suppose to be a 7 hour excursion, was only 6. Received and email the day before to start it an hour earlier. That was fine, but it was advertised as 7 hours and it was 6. The van and small group of 6 was perfect!! The guide was very knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for sharing your glowing feedback! Regarding the Acropolis Parthenon, this tour offers two options. If you’d like to include the climb to the Acropolis, please ensure you select the option that includes the Parthenon. Wishing you safe and enjoyable travels!

Worth every penny

Worth every penny! Our shore excursion with JAT and Anastasia was fantastic! We explored ancient ruins, visited museum, took awesome pictures and learned so much about Greek history. The highlight was visiting Plaka where we had some free time to shop and relax in a lovely Greek tavern. Worth every penny!

Amazing & Informative Tour

Melanie_S, Jul 2024

We enjoyed this tour and our guide was great. We toured the Acropolis Museum which was fantastic. We also toured around Athens and enjoyed ourselves very much.

Great tour

Lauren_C, Jun 2024

Great tour that covered a lot of area. The museum was very informative. Just enough time on your own to explore

Great tour!
