A well balanced half-day tour with good mix between the sightsighting at the Acropolis and the interesting museum, plus flexibility to stay on at the museum at the end if wanted to spend longer at own leisure (we chose to make our own way back to hotel strolling through the Plaka district.) . Our guide was very knowledgable and passionate with helpful advice on other places to explore after the tour.
Terrible pickup experience. The operator was rude and unprofessional. I complained to Viator and the tour operator, Chat Tours and they basically told me to bad, so I will be disputing with my credit card. Stay away!!!!
Dear Sanjeev, We are sorry that you felt dissatisfied with your experience. However, we believe it is important to clarify the actual events for future travelers. Our pickup vehicle arrived with a delay of approximately 7 minutes due to Athens traffic conditions. Upon arrival, our escort immediately apologized for the short delay, but unfortunately was met with rude behavior and an immediate refund request before the tour had even started. Additionally, your booking was for 5 participants, however only 2 guests were waiting at pickup, while the remaining members of your group were still in the hotel room. This caused further delay for the rest of the group. When your family members arrived carrying drinks, our escort politely informed you that drinks are not permitted on the bus according to company policy. Despite this, the conversation continued in an aggressive manner toward our staff. Nevertheless, all members of your group participated normally in the tour and received all services exactly as booked. After completion of the tour, a second refund request was submitted and declined, as the tour had been fully provided. We also note that your review contains no comments regarding the actual tour experience, destinations visited, guide, transportation, or services received, but focuses only on the refund refusal. At Chat Tours, we always try to assist our guests professionally and respectfully, and we kindly ask the same respectful behavior toward our staff and fellow travelers. Best regards, Hara Kritikidou Customer Service Manager
Our tour guide had lots of knowledge, and passion with the information. If we had not booked the tour, we would not have known all the things we were looking at.
What a great trip takes you to most of the sites you need to go and past some others well worth doing this trip , guide was excellent very informative and knowledgeable
The tour was exceptionally informative and the best that I have done. I have done several Athens tours and of the Acropolis over the years but Dora from Chat tours was a mine of information with a lovely light hearted as well as extremely detailed commentary.
Excellent tour. Our guide was very good and made sure everyone was safe and her directions were clear. There was plenty of free time for photos.
Loved our guide. The tour was great. We got to see the highlights of the Acropolis and we had plenty of free time to explore on our own.
Fascinating, informative, and efficient! Athens has so much history and our tour guide was great at knowing everything about the Acropolis and each historical point with a little humor. She also didn’t drag on too long with any subject and kept things going at a good pace. Highly recommend!
Great tour highly recommended. The tour guide explained everything, very detailed. Excellent explanation of the city.
Good half day tour to go around Athens and see the Acropolis with a very knowledgeable guide. Price might be a little high for just a few hours and a big bus to go up to the Acropolis.
