Brilliant walking tour with the friendliest tour guide Eva! - The tour was highly educational, our tour guide Eva was outstanding! She was warm friendly and very knowledgeable. I loved the way she explained the whole story of Athens and Acropolis allowing us enough time to capture and experience the history behind it! Eva was very interactive and even treated us to the traditional Greek dessert to us, which was very touching! Eva offered to take our photos and found the experience even more special and adventurous because of the nature of her personality! I would highly recommend this tour to all who would like to make it worthwhile visiting Athens. Thank you Eva and team xxx

Alexandria was a great guide - very informative with good english - Alexandria was a very good guide, easy to understand and wealth of knowledge. Pace was good and timing too eg for entry into Acropolis, missing the queues. Really made it a very good tour. Only negative was booking T&C said arrive 15 mins early, then email the day before said be there 30mins before!!! Crazy early - only needed 5/10 mins to distribute ear pieces/tickets and if you are late then should be your fault.

I learned so much, great tour! - Our tour guide, Sissy was incredibly knowledgeable and fascinating. I’ve done dozens of walking tours and have never been on a tour with a tour guide so knowledgeable. I initially only had the acropolis/city walking tour but when she said she was also scheduled to do the acropolis museum tour I booked that tour with her and so glad I did. Sissy was a wealth of information and learned so much about mythology and Ancient Greek life. Highly. Recommended

Fantastic tour guide!!! - I really enjoyed the myths that Athena told and how well she could describe the significance of the monuments. She was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable, and a great person overall. Highly recommend taking a tour from her.

Highly recommend! - Excellent guide! She was very knowledgeable and we were able to see the iconic structures of the Acropolis. Guide was considerate about the heat and made a point to be in the shade. I loved that it was a more intimate group. The meeting place was at the Syntagma Metro. Perhaps specify and be clear to mention to meet downstairs because of this, I took a star off. Otherwise tour and guide were great!

Disorganized, guide’s speaker system broke down due to battery issues - So-so tour. Meeting point has the dirtiest WC in Athens. Low standards, the guide was enthusiastic but disorganized. Her photos/diagrams should have been in a binder with plastic photo holders vs falling out onto the floor numerous times. We bought the tour to get tickets to the Acropolis. One ticket was for the tour time and the other was for a later window holding us up at the entry. The guides audio system broke down mid-way through the tour. She was admonished by other guides for shouting/loud voice that was competing with other tours. She wasn’t carrying spare batteries that would have fixed the problem. Wouldn’t go on another tour hosted by this company. Meh…

Good enough but have had better tours - Good tour sites and timings. Information was useful and the guide Vicky was lovely and positive but laughed at the end of every sentence. The listening devices were distorted and actually the narration became distracting to the information being given. So whilst some facets were useful some parts became too much, the detail could have been deeper rather than more superficial information about wider issues. One guest on the tour insisted on speaking about the Roman equivalent and asked/challenged so many parts (apparently he used to be a tour guide and disrupted some of the tour) I appreciate this was not the tour guides fault.
