Ganni was the man, great guide with awesome chat
Dear George, Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We are delighted to hear that you had such a great experience with our guide and enjoyed the lively conversation along the way. It is wonderful to know that the friendly atmosphere added to your enjoyment of discovering the Acropolis and its history with us Warm regards, The Athenian Tours Team
Irene was such an engaging wonderful guide. We felt so lucky to have landed her! A great introduction to Athens and Greece. Very informative and always interesting.
Dear Traveller, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted to hear that Irene made such a memorable impression and gave you such an engaging introduction to Athens and Greece. Her enthusiasm and knowledge clearly helped bring the history and culture to life, and we are so pleased that you found the experience consistently informative and interesting. It was a pleasure to have you with us Warm regards, The Athenian Tours Team
Group was too large for a single guide. There were constant bathroom breaks. We must have spent 25% of the tour on one kind of break or another. The guide was knowledgeable, but the nonstop breaks were frustrating for me (and others).
Dear Harris, Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We understand how frequent pauses can affect the flow of a tour, particularly when you prefer a more continuous experience. At the same time, different travellers have different needs and preferences, and we appreciate your perspective. We’re pleased you found the guide knowledgeable and informative. Warm regards, The Athenian Tours Team
An excellent tour. We arrived at the office about 10min before the tour and many had already checked in and were with a guide. We probably should have gotten there earlier due to the long line at check in desk (but they had many staff members working, so it went quick). Turned out we got an absolutely fabulous guide. Gari was a delight, very informative and fun - so we were glad to be assigned to her group. She definitely earned her tip. It was much better to see the Acropolis first and then the museum. Got a flavor for the site along with much instruction and commentary from Gari, then she filled in the details at the museum. Because of her background in archeology, her knowledge and passion for the sight helped us understand and appreciate the site so much more. Thanks and we had a great time, well worth the price, and highly recommend.
Dear Timothy, Thank you for sharing such a detailed review. We are delighted to hear that Gari’s archaeological background, knowledge and engaging approach added so much depth to your visit. We are also pleased that the Acropolis followed by the Museum provided a meaningful flow to the experience. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we hope to welcome you again in Athens. Warm regards, The Athenian Tours Team
Yolanda was incredible. Her knowledge of Greek history, the Myths, the People and the details in between. She was polite, took breaks, allowed for pictures and bathroom breaks and always made sure our group was complete before we moved on to the next site. If I could give her 10 stars I would.
Dear Traveller, Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to know that Yolanda’s extensive knowledge of Greek history and mythology, together with her attentive and considerate approach, contributed to such a positive experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and will be pleased to share them with her. Warm regards, The Athenian Tours Team
Katerina was a great guide to the fabulous history of the Acropolis. Thank you!
Dear Traveller, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted that Katerina helped make your journey through the remarkable history of the Acropolis such an enjoyable experience. It’s always a pleasure to share the stories, mythology, and cultural heritage that make this extraordinary site so special. We truly appreciate your kind words and are happy that you chose to discover the Acropolis with us! Warm regards, The Athenian Tours Team
Fascinating place. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. I think I got a lot more out of the location because of his expertise.
Dear Sonja, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted that the history and significance of the Acropolis became even more meaningful through your guide’s insights. It’s wonderful to know his expertise helped you discover details you might otherwise have missed. Warm regards, The Athenian Tours Team
We had very little knowledge of Greek mythology or other historical sites, but our guide's explanations were very clear and interesting. Without her explanations, the rest of our time in the Ancient Agora (not the tour) would have been boring. In the museum, she carefully selected masterpieces and provided sufficient explanations in a short amount of time. What I appreciated most was that I was able to understand the explanations despite my limited English. Since the tour ends inside the museum, if you need to leave your belongings, I recommend using the individual cloakroom rather than the group cloakroom (even if the museum staff refuses).
Dear Traveller, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re delighted that the explanations made Greek history and mythology accessible and enjoyable, especially in the museum. We truly value your kind words about the clarity of the experience and hope it added meaning to your visit. Warm regards, The Athenian Tours Team
It was an anazing tour, just before the Sunset! Our guide Eli, an authentic greek, was great, with lots of history and mithology. We had a group of 14 people and she knew us all by the name. We had a great time! It was the 16h30 tour, in English
Dear Marisa, Thank you for such a lovely review! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the sunset setting, the stories of Greek history and mythology, and the personal touch of being welcomed by name. It’s wonderful to know you had such a memorable time with us! Warm regards, The Athenian Tours Team
Was super easy to navigate to the pick up point and check in process was super smooth. Acropolis / Parthenon are incredible. Our guid, Chrysa, was FANTASTIC. She was super knowledgeable and accommodating of all questions! Would recommend Athenian tours / Chrysa to anyone!
Dear Connor, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that the check-in was smooth and that Chrysa’s knowledge and helpful approach made your visit so enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation of Athenian Tours and Chrysa! Warm regards, The Athenian Tours Team.
