We arrived at the meeting point 10 minutes early only to be told that the tour had been moved forward half an hour and the tour had left without us. The operator confirmed they had not notified us of the change and blamed this on us booking via Viator. It is unclear why they didn't contact us as our phone number was provided via Viator. This was extremely disappointing as we were only 10 minutes away and could have arrived quickly once they realised we hadn't been contacted (even if this was once the group had assembled). The experience was a complete waste of time. We wasted an entire morning in Athens because of this communication failure. We received a refund but the attitude was terrible. The staff did not offer to book us on another tour and were dismissive about the whole incident. Luckily it wasn't peak season and we were able to find a last minute tour with another operator (Athens Walks Tour Company) which was fantastic. Although Keytours wasted our time, it turned out for the best as we had a wonderful experience with another company.
While the sites on this tour are simply stunning (the Acropolis in particular), the whole experience suffered because of the bad tour guide. Her english wasn't that good (although I will cut her slack on that) so she was difficult to understand, talked non stop and never asked if we had any questions. The tour also went 30 minutes longer than scheduled mostly because an extra long vaping break (for herself) at the top of the Acropolis. More than half the people left the group before the end of the tour which speaks for itself.
Dear Franny, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the stunning sites like the Acropolis, but we’re sorry the tour guide's approach affected the experience. We strive to ensure our guides are both engaging and respectful of everyone’s time. Your feedback on the guide’s communication style and timing is valuable, and we’d appreciate the chance to address this with you directly. Could you please contact us at marketing@keytours.gr? We’d love the opportunity to make this right. Thank you for helping us improve! Best Regards, Margarita Karavasileiadi
Our guide Nikos was wonderful! He is incredibly detail oriented and knowledgeable! So glad we decided to do a tour and could not have chosen a better guide!

Of course, we will make sure to transfer your kind words to Nikos as soon as possible. Hope to see you again in one of our future activities. Best Regards, Margarita Karavasileiadi
Our 9am hiking tour was great and had many things to see. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and would answer any questions and clarify misconceptions about some topics discussed during the duration of the tour. The view from the Parthenon was beautiful, with a 360 degree view of the city. Our family enjoyed looking at the ancient sculptures, as well as the Lego model in the museum. Overall, we enjoyed the hike and views from the tour.
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and personable! He balanced a lot of information with some humour and anecdotes! Loved this tour. Awe inspiring site full of history.
