The morning pick-up was a bit disorganized and please be advised that if you don't intend to go to the museum, then they do not offer drop-off. Overall, our guide was knowledgeable, but I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get off the bus more often to explore the sights. You drive by most and only get off at the Acropolis and the stadium.

We enjoyed the tour - but it was basically a tour of the Acropolis museum and the Acropolis with a short stop at a hippodrome. This tour might be more appropriately titled 'Acropolis Tour'. A lot of Athens remains unexplored. Given the limited 4-hr time window, there's no time to visit any other attractions. The narrated tour of the Acropolis museum was particularly helpful.

Great overview of the key highlights of Athens. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately our guide sometimes had difficulty handling what was a very large group.

This was a very informative tour. Guide was excellent. My opinion is it's better than walking around the site on your own.

Enjoyed seeing the Acropolis, Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum. Dora did a great job explaining the history of these key sights in Athens, but also was very good about describing many of the other sights throughout Athens. Very enjoyable and I would highly recommend!

This was a well organised tour, with a prompt coach pick up and a very knowledgeable guide, Effi. The first part of the tour is coach based with brief stops along the way for pictures, but we finally disembarked at the Acropolis Museum and this is where the tour got really interesting with Effi's knowledge of the subject bringing the history to life in English and French. The museum is an ultra modern building with glass floors between levels and a fitting achitectural structure to complement the historic ruins it depicts and faces. The final part of the tour was the ascent to the top of the Acropolis and the Parthenon itself, which is an impressive sight. A very enjoyable half day and one I would recommend.

Things were organized and the guides were professional, however, it was hard to enjoy the tour because it was so crowded. I recommend taking the tour during the weekday because during the weekend there were too many people. It's not that I don't like people, it's more that it took a lot of time to get from point A to point B due to the crowd. Taking pictures was somewhat of an issue too. Everytime I wanted to take a picture I had to wait until someone in front of me moved out of the way. Overall, I would say there was not enough time to stay and see everything because of the crowd. Just to get back to the coach took a long time because your fighting all the people trying to go up the stairs when you're trying to go down. And this was in October when there is less tourism.

Tour was very rushed which somewhat spoiled it. Guide was very knowledgeable but speed made it difficult to digest everything. Also, the tour was not done on the day originally scheduled due to rain forecast that never existed in our opinion.

This tour hit all of the spots we were looking to see - the Parthenon was a little busy, but only because two cruises has stopped to tour on that same day - aside from that, I highly recommend this tour if yo're looking for all of the 'top' attractions in Athens!

Definatly glad we combined the Athens tour with the Acropolis Museum. This tour is a good introduction to historic Athens. Th e time at the Acropolis is amazinf and gives you a big picture. The addition of the Acropolis Museum provides the details.
