George, the guide... perfect explanations both at the Acropolis and at the museum. The information, the timing, the explanations, everything perfect. Highly recommended.
The guide George C Panagos is an excellent professional. He has extensive knowledge and is very clear in his explanations.
We loved the visit package to the Acropolis, its museum, and the panoramic view of Athens. Our guide, George C. Panagos, made the experience pleasant and rewarding. A great professional.
Excellent visit with the guide George Panagos; we came from Argentina and we took away a lot of information provided very kindly by him!
We just finished the guided tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon, and museum. Our guide was George C. Panagos: HORRIBLE. He was in a rush the whole time, he kept our museum ticket so we weren't able to go down to the excavation area, a shameless person. He didn't let us see the top floor where all the Parthenon marbles are because he spent 15 minutes forcing us to post positive reviews on TripAdvisor, and then we had to pick up the bags we had left, but there was only one single ticket, and of course, he had it, so he didn't even give us two minutes to see the top floor; he automatically rushed us out. A great deal for tickets that cost 30 euros. Certainly the worst experience I have ever had while traveling.
Our guide George Panagos showed us history in a super fun and approachable way, making the hours of the two visits fly by for us among a bunch of anecdotes and fascinating stories. The truth is that his passion for what he does is noticeable, and he transmits that at every moment. Highly recommended to take these tours with him! Without a doubt, we would do it again
Exceptional visit to the Acropolis and museum with guide George C. Panados, a great expert on the history of Athens. We felt very well accompanied. Thanks for the great organization
We took a tour with this company for a trip at the end of July. For the price, the tour was fine. But there are a few things that I did not like. We had to wait more than an hour at the meeting point. The guide did not know how to answer questions that were beyond what he had planned to answer, and instead of saying “I am not sure” or “I do not know,” he just answered something that had nothing to do with the question. Also, the guide did not stop at the Theater of Dionysus to be able to take photos, knowing that that area cannot be seen on the way down and that it was listed in the tour details. Which I think is a shame because we chose this specific tour because it said it included this theater. The details also said that we could take photos for 15 minutes at the Olympic stadium, but they did not let us get off the bus to do so. And the guide was also suggesting we have lunch at a place that seemed like a total tourist trap, which generally leaves a bad impression. I don't know when I will return to Athens, but on the next trip we are not going to choose this tour company.
The guided tour was excellent, the experience of learning about Greek history was incredible, and the guide George C. Panagos was very attentive; we are grateful for the explanation he gave us in Spanish and his recommendations on where to eat and shop at a good price.
Fantastic tour of the Acropolis and museum, also the panoramic view from the bus passing by the city's most iconic sites. Special mention to our guide George C. Panagos made the tour pleasant, fun, full of good anecdotes, and provided a spectacular introduction to the history of Greece.
