Learning about the ancient Greek civilization and seeing the Parthenon in Athens, Temple of Poseidon in Sounio with the breathtaking views at each location was well worth it. There were some minor organizational problems. We were under the impression that the tour was going to stop some place for lunch (which we knew was not included) and continue from Athens to Cape Sounio. Instead, we were dropped off at the Amalia hotel and told that we would be picked up after we went somewhere to eat. The guide for the second half of the tour was knowledgeable but seemed unsure about who was in his group. A few minutes more to catch the sunset also would have been appreciated.
Wonderful tour, very knowledgeable tour guide. If you want to know about Athens 'history, then this is the tour for it.
Both tours meet our expectations. The two ladies who were our guides are very knowledgeable and professionals. Everything was as scheduled. It was a very nice experience.
Thoroughly enjoyed our city sightseeing tour with the Parthenon and the history of past events. Early arrival ensured pleasant atmosphere and walking trails and views of each ruins. Magnificent sites to the mere human eye
We went on this tour October 18, 2023. We thoroughly enjoyed the morning component with your guide Vicki. The visit to the Acropolis and Acropolis museum were definitely the highlights. Vicki was lovely and an amazing wealth of information. We greatly appreciated the “whisper” technology that allowed us to hear her commentary clearly. If we had a do-over, we likely would have skipped the trip to Cape Sounion. It was a little underwhelming after our fabulous morning experience and our afternoon tour guide had little personality and seemed disinterested. On the bright side, the drive afforded us a look at the coast south of the city. Overall worth the cost and a great introduction to Athens.
Did the double tour with city sightseeing and then Sounion. It was a long day and I’m not sure if I would recommend doing both. The city sightseeing was perfect but the trip out to Sounion is long and coming back we were dropped off at a hotel that wasn’t ours. We were so tired we got off anyway and walked back to our hotel.
We had an amazing experience, especially during the tour of the Acropolis. Dora was very knowledgeable about the history of Greece in relation to the Acropolis, as well as all of the sites we passed along the way! There was some fuss about the static in the devices that allowed you to hear the guide from the back of the group, but that is expected with the number of people around in separate groups who had similar devices. (I suspect hearing aid interference as well.) All in all, Dora is the standard at which we will hold any future guide, and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour!!
This tour was a good overview of Athens. We were only in the city for a day. We were able to see the highlights of the city.
It was great! People were super nice and we had time to see everything we wanted to! We did the all day package that included Acropolis, the Museum and the Cape. Great way to have an amazing overview!
Joy (guide) and Dimitri (driver) were amazing! Loved that the bus was air conditioned and the admission tickets were included. Highly recommend if you want to cover a lot of ground in one day. Tip: wear shoes with gripping soles. Marble is slippery.
