CANCELLATION POLICY

Pick up details well communicated, started only a few minutes late. First stop was at Acropolis - plenty of info about Athens given en-route before a specialist guide took us around Acroplis. Trip then to Parthonaic stadium but the traffic en-route was horrendous restricting time there before the changing of the guard ceremony (well worth seeing especially if you are a Monty Python fan!!). Ended up in market area and given the choice of returning to the starting place or staying where we were. Good value overall especially if time restricted.

Experiencing Athens with knowledgeable guides helps to give its vast history and culture context. Our guides were prepared and knowledgeable as well as patient. We loved that there were opportunities to admire independently while capturing memories of our own. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating. Bathroom breaks weren’t built in, so be sure to ask when needed.

Very small group and lovely host. We got to see the changing of the guard and all the impressive city buildings. The Acropolis tour was more than we expected with a personal tour guide throughout.

We were so looking forward to this. After booking the trip the guide changed the time to 30 minutes earlier. We weren’t able to make it to the departure site at the earlier time due to tremendous traffic. We missed the whole thing. We asked if we could meet at the 2nd destination point to experience some of the tour, but the guide refused. They made no effort to accommodate. And no refund was given.

One of the best tours that we have been on. Theo was hilarious and we loved his dry humour. His opinions on American fast food were on point. George was also very knowledgeable and he was happy to answer all our questions. Overall we had an amazing time. 10/10.

Great tour of Athens in a small group setting! We were able to leave the group after the Acropolis tour to go to the Acropolis museum instead of returning to the pick up spot!
