Amazing! History lessons with fun! - This tour was absolutely amazing. Teddy, Michaela, and Debbie were outstanding and incredibly knowledgeable. One of the most informative tours I have ever been on. The tour was a history lesson, with comedy, recommendations and fun all in one. We would do again in a heartbeat. One thing to be aware of is the few hour break between the Athens and Cape Sounion portion of the tours. Be prepared to either pop back to your accommodations or eat lunch. Also bring a sweatshirt for the Temple of Poseidon. Beautiful, but can be windy and a bit chilly.

Worth Every Penny - What a great excursion and at a great price! There were 18 people in our group so the group was manageable for our tour guides. We had 3 different guides. One for the acropolis, one for the best of Athens sights, and one for the sunset trip to Poseidon Temple sunset view. This is the best tour if you only have a day for sightseeing. All guides were professional and knowledgeable. They knew a lot about their Greek history and shared so many stories. There was definite pride in their culture and city. The sunset tour was a great way to end a busy day. I highly recommend this company and this tour.

Incredible combo tour with Merita & Teddy - We did the combo of the Best of Athens and Temple of Poseidon tours on our first full day in Athens. This tour is a combo of two different tours, the Acropolis and other sights in the morning and then a break before heading to the Temple of Poseidon in the afternoon. Both tours ran efficiently, and our morning guide Merita was extremely knowledgeable. We had a great time with her and our Acropolis guide, Yargos. We learned so much about the history of Athens, and she kept a close eye to offer us water or anything else we needed. Teddy, our guide for the Temple of Poseidon portion, was so incredible that the time we spent with him was honestly probably the highlight of our trip. He went out of his way to engage every single member of our group and encourage us to get to know each other during our evening. It really made the tour so much more fun than it already was, and he and our driver Andre worked hard to get us everywhere, including home after a long day and through the crowds, on time. We couldn't recommend this tour, and especially Teddy, enough.

Awesome tour around Athens - Awesome tour. We saw a little bit of everything in a short amount of time. Loved the whole thing. The only thing I would change is letting people now it goes to late with a big break in the middle. Was not knowing it would end around 10 pm

A taste of Athens…it will leave you wanting more! - We loved our tour guides Katerina on the city tour, Konstatina at the Acropolis and Fay on the temple of Poseidon tour. The vehicles were comfortable. We were on such a tight schedule to get everywhere that we were rushed off from one place to another. We saw a lot, but it seemed like a taste of Athens…highlights it was! We were glad to enjoy this beautiful city. Sunset was anti-climatic! And if you go on that one make sure you have towel and suit to swim in the sea. Many didn’t know to bring those!

Disappointed in tour and schedule - This is actually 2 separate tours through the same company. Instead of the expected 9 hour day, it turned out to be 12.5 hours. This should be mentioned in the description just so you are prepared. There was an almost 3 hour break in between tours. If there was a shorter time frame for lunch and a later start in the morning, it would have been better. You only have 1 hour at the Acropolis, which was very rushed, especially with the number of tourists. You do not actually go inside the olympic stadium. The changing of the guards was interesting. Get there early to get in the front row. Everything else was just a drive-by, and you can't take good pictures. We wound up walking to see them at another time. Spending 1.5 hours at the beach, with only 1 place for food/drink (unless you want a long walk), was way too long. There was a lot to see at the Temple of Posiden, but no time to see it. It would have been great to have another hour at the Temple instead of at the beach. Our 2nd guide. I believe her name was Faith, was wonderful. Also, there is no food or drinks on the bus. If you buy a coffee just before tour, you will have to throw it away. Just a mention of this in the tour description would have solved this problem.

My review is only 2 stars... - My review is only 2 stars b/c of Stefania (sp*) and the driver from 9/3. The itinerary is amazing and covers a lot. It is the full long day though. Long story short I was 6mins late. However I wasn’t even the last to arrive, 2 more women arrived after me and were not treated nearly as poorly as they treated me. Maybe because they hate Americans, I don’t know. The tour on Viator said it started at 8:40 and I received a call at 8:35 asking where I was, which was a block away getting coffee/breakfast, I ran over immediately and I showed up at 8:36. We were still at the acropolis by 8:43 - not a huge delay at all. There were 5 cruise ships leading tours too which is really the source of the chaos, not my 6min mistake. I missed the instruction for it to start at 8:30 which is my fault and I apologized sincerely and it was an honest mistake. I’m sure other people have made the same one. Stefania and the driver went out of their way to single me out, ignore me, and talk down to me for the entire 1st half of the tour. They refused to let it go. They also denied people bathroom breaks, rushed people around, and were not kind in general. They talked a lot of smack about the tourists too thinking we couldn’t understand. As I was traveling alone this sucked to experience and I almost walked out/didn’t come to the 2nd part. Luckily I had a totally different tour guide and driver for the 2nd half so was able to stick it out. I understand they are probably at the end of their tourism season and running low on patience but dang I cannot imagine treating anyone like that at my job and keeping my job. They were SO RUDE. I had to just laugh at them eventually, because it is pathetic to act like that. The driver specifically - absolutely shouldn’t work in tourism. The same driver and my driver from the 2nd half also raced the cars against eachother on the way back from the temple of Poseidon. Just super unprofessional. Nikki and Lily were much more welcoming and approachable - they definitely have personalities for tourism. Just fyi they don’t state this anywhere but no food or drink in the van and they give you 1 small water bottle all day. I was eating a hi-chew candy and it got announced to the whole bus “no eating” which was passive aggressive and annoying. It’s basically like a mint. Since it is such a long tour all day - this should be posted to the page.

Over priced - It is over priced tour. Extended part to see sunset, ticket is not included. It was just transportation n sitting at beach restaurant for an hour those who don’t swim.
