Athens for history geeks

It was easy to book. The cost was great!! The process of scanning tickets was effortless made the entry fast and convenient.

The tour guide Nikki was amazing. She really explained everything well, and helped us see everything and tell us about the history of everything we saw.

I have seen the Acropolis many times online & tv but it cannot be properly appreciated until such a historic site is seen in person, not to mention all the various sites & artifacts on the path up to it. However, nothing prepares you for the sight of the Parthenon! It is truly wonderful & see inspiring! 1 of my friends has travelled far & wide, much more than me, & he actually said, " I think this is the greatest thing I have ever seen!"

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging for our young girls who were full of questions! She made navigating the busy area easy and enjoyable.

The visit to Delphi is impressive, and all the more so with the explanations we had got in the bus during the trip to Delpi, with an excellent, cultured and entertaining guide.

The guide was very knowledgeable, trip was very organised and everything went according to schedule. We had plenty of time for sightseeing and to enjoy the views.

Helena, the guide was super nice and the bus was comfortable. Along the way you can see the nice view of the coast. Unfortunately February is cold season and we could not appreciate the outskirts of the Temple. Please wear a suit if you come in February

We enjoyed this day very much. Highly recommended to visit archaeological sites as important as those of Athens.

Everything went very well. The Acropolis is simply impressive and the audio guide is helpful and well put together. The narrator is easy to listen to, even if the intonation is a little strange at times.

Tour guide was very informative and made the whole experience interesting and interactive. His knowledge was outstanding and his stories relating to pieces of architecture made history more easy to understand to both myself and our children. Thank you for an exciting trip through history.

The ticketing and meeting point was organized. Our tour guide was very informative and professional. I honestly would have preferred to just listen to her lessons first, and then go on my own to the acropolis and museum. It was simply too crowded and too large of a group to be fully engaging. It was challenging to follow the group walking through the immensley crowded acropolis. I think groups could be limited to around 10-12 people for these tours during peak travel season. The lunch break was an hour in a taverna in Plaka with a limited menu, seated with the fellow tour group (by then only around 10 of us were left). The guide was not present. The trip to Cape Sounio was good, it wasn't guided and we were left to walk around the site for an hour or so on our own. The site and view were beautiful. All in all, it was informative and nice to see several sites, however a very long day. If I had to do it over again, I would have gone on my own to the acropolis and museum then taken the smaller tour to Cape Sounio.

Nice place with good exhibitions . Also saw the paintings from temporary exhibition. Cafeteria is peaceful and people Welcome

The whole experience was very well planned and executed, we got exactly what we wanted and even more! Maria was a great guide, very sweet, with great knowledge about the Meteoras and their history. The balance was great between the guided tour and when we were left alone to explore for ourselves. The lunch was great, with a few options to choose from. Everything was beautiful, will advice all my friends to join this tour if they are travelling to Athens. :)

Really nice, inexpensive tour! The guide is very friendly and explains the surrounding sights on the way to the temple. The sunset up there is a must.

È stata un' esperienza eccezionale nonostante la struttura un po' démodé che risulta spoglia rispetto al modernissimo Museo dell' Acropoli. Ma i pezzi contenuti sono gioielli di inestimabile valore che polarizzano l' attenzione in modo totalizzante.

It's a beautiful museum with incredible artifacts. These treasures I've beed fascinated by since I was less than 20 years old and I'm almost 80.

Awesome but as a tourist who Carrie's coins on them for the bathroom. Lol in this day of cashless transactions it's as antiquated as the ruins

I mistakenly booked an English-language guide but with a couple of messages to support via whatsup they solved it within 2 minutes. Very satisfied

I had a very good day, and saw a beautiful sunset at Cape Sounion, on the temple of Posseidon, despite the fact that we were two hours late due to a damaged bus.

It was really easy to book and to find the pick up point. We even had to change the date due to our travel plans and that was very easy to do. Michaela, our guide was very informative. Delphi, itself was stunning and I am so glad we went to experience the site. We had a stop in Delphi for lunch and a photo stop in Arachiva. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Happy did a great job telling us all about the acropolis and the history there. Being able to ask questions and have her as our guide made the tour a much more enjoyable experience.

absolutely positive, purchased online with paypal (on the museum's website it was notpossible) and priority access. all perfect.

Information about the places we visited were sufficient without having info overload. Pacing of each places were just right. Very attentive guide and driver.

Anastasia, our tour guide, made this experience awesome! She kept us entertained in the bus with greek mythology and interesting stories for Gods of Olympous. Once at Depli, she shared her valuable knowledge about the historical place and talked to us about the different artifacts at the museum. She also made suggestions on what to eat at Arachova as well as places to visit in Athens and Greek islands.

Interesting place to visit. Like to myths and back storiess. Also, our tour guide (Mikaela) and driver were very friendly. We feel safe touring the place.

It was very well organised, the bikes and helmets were in very good condition and our guide Yannis was super; very friendly, knowledgeable - he not only gave us many Athens infos but also wonderful personal tips for our journey later on to Kalamata - and good fun, too! We really had a lovely time and were glad we've decided to see more of Arhens by bike!!

I rated it as good. Nice person took us about hiwever someone passionate about food and willing to impart knowledge about Greek food I would think is best for a food tour.

Was a bit dubious because ticket on phone had no bar code to zap but no problem getting on the bus. We were on the bus very quickly. I enjoyed the heat but not everyone would have been able to. Change over in Athens very quick and we were off on the city tour. Wonderful! We got off at stop 2 to walk back to Parliament building and then walked back to inter change to get bus back to the ship. It was a bit of a wait but were busy talking to people in the queue. There were 4 cruise ships in so was naturally busy. Overall a fantastic tour at a fantastic price, thank you.

Very interesting visit that allowed us to frame the city with its many aspects. Emanuela guide, very knowledgeable, friendly helpful and attentive to everyone's needs. Excellent. Congratulations

The ancient agora is great. Entry was easy with the pre-purchase. But the crowd was small. So, I could have got it at the entrance too.
