Cultural class - 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.

DORA IS THE BEST - 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!!

Joy (guide) and Dimitri... - 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.

Great Tour! - This was a great full-day tour! We covered a lot of ground throughout Athens! Our tour guide, Joy, was very friendly and knowledgeable. While we didn’t enjoy waiting in the long lines in the heat at the Acropolis, everything else was nice. If I had to do it again, I probably would skip the Cape Sounion portion of the tour. It was nice, but the 1.5 hour drive there and then 1.5 hour drive back didn’t make it worth it, in my opinion.

Magnificent - 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

Excellent morning in Athens; skip the afternoon. - 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.

Long day of doing both tours - 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.

Athens overview - 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.
