“Our experience was amazing!! Not only was the route perfect but I left my wallet on the bus by mistake and when I realized I called the customer service number and spoke to a lovely woman who said she would alert the possible drivers based on my route and track it down for me. She asked me to call back in 10 min and she would have an update.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 442 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $12Best value

Review of Athens’ Acropolis, city sights, Changing of the Guards, and Acropolis Museum tour, with practical advice on tickets, walking, and value.

“Overall, very good. However, the first portion of the tour was mediocre, at best, which was a "tour" through the subway station with a rapid fire narrative with an assortment of random facts without context or story, followed by a walk through a park with similar disjointed narrative. The tour of the Acropolis and museum was excellent with an engaging guide. Suggest only the Acropolis and museum tour.”

“Really enjoyed this tour - the guide was friendly and full of interesting insights that added to the experience. It was my first time in the city so the first part of the tour was useful to get a feel for some different parts of the city - but the Acropolis was obviously the highlight. It's a long walk up, but broken up with stops to explain some of the different ruins on the south slope (which was quieter than the main entrance)”

He was ever so genuine, welcoming, informative, knowledgeable, connected etc. We were treated to off the beaten paths which were far more interesting than the beaten paths, we were immersed in true Greek culture, we remember taking a path just below the Pantheon, which consisted of a series etc. Spiro knew exactly which path to take to allow us a specular tour.”
