Great Experience in Athens - We were not sure what to expect from this tour, but George (our tour guide) was awesome. He was prompt in picking us up at the cruise terminal and he definitely knew his way around. We were bummed that he did not accompany us to some of the sites; however, he front loaded us with great details of we needed to do and see. He even sent us info on where to find him when we finished each location. He gave us plenty of time to see everything and we even had time to grab a great bite to eat at a local Greek restaurant. We loved this tour and only wish we could have spent more time at each location. George was awesome!!!

Great JG Athens tour - Tashos was very knowledgeable and made the tour pleasant. He made us feel important and offered us solutions to a few minor challenges. We will definitely refer him to our friends and family.

Very accommodating driver, just make sure to plan ahead! - Make sure you buy your tickets for the Acropolis when you book this tour! You need to buy them separately and you want to go first thing in the morning. We made the mistake of not booking and didn’t realize it until the night before and had to book tickets for the afternoon. It really screwed up the whole day, but our driver was so accommodating and even bought us Greek coffee! If I could do it all again, I would go to the Acropolis first thing in the morning then ask for lots of time to explore the neighborhoods below the Acropolis because we were very rushed. There is a lookout that your driver can take you to that gives you an incredible view of the city. In my opinion, that’s really all that’s worth doing in Athens, and a half-day is plenty of time for that.

Athens past and present - We were greeted by George with a smile and a hand shake. Then our trip through the past and into the future began. George knew we had tickets to the Acropolis at 11 and also the museum whenever we wanted. So after a wonderful lesson on the history of Athens and the Acropolis,we first went to the museum and my 2 family members went to the Acropolis while I stayed to enjoy the museum. Later when we met George at the agreed upon place, we proceeded to see the rest of the sights from the vehicle, but also getting out and seeing them first hand. Our favorites were the Olympic Stadium( my family members are coaches) and the changing of the guards. George to us to the back of the palace where we not just saw them change but was given a thorough lesson on when, why and what their movements and dress meant. We were very unhappy to part from George. This tour helped my party of three to love Athens even more and couldn’t have a better tour guide in George if we had picked him ourselves.

Nothing but a driver - We were disappointed that the tour guide/driver was neither informative nor enthusiastic about sharing information about Athens or Greek culture. We were dropped off at certain points without any historical or background information and left on our own. He seemed more interested in making a stop for coffee and breakfast than anything else. He didn’t even seem sure of the itinerary we were to follow. We realize now that we should have done a private walking tour with a guide.
