Exceptional Excursion prior to our Greek Island Cruise. - Exceptional tour guide, Knowledgeable, Great Spirit and Passion in her explanations of the Museum and climb to the Acropolis, The pick up was a little late but understandable because of our hotel location.

Great - Very nice tour of the Acropolis’s museum and the actual site! We had plenty of time to look at everything. Very knowledgeable guide and she got us back to the hotel or if we wanted could roam the Plaka on our own and take taxi. Saw orig Olympic stadium!

Good tour, enormous crowds at the site. - Guide was very good. Her knowledge of the site was exceptional. The downside of the tour was the enormous crowds at the site and the size of the group. Our guide did a good job of keeping the group together.

It felt rushed - It’s rushed. With hindsight, as we were travelling off season, we could have done the tour without a guide (we did not need to skip the line) and spent more time in the museum. But we did receive quite a lot of useful information from our guide.

Phenomenal tour guide - Our tour guide was phenomenal! I give her all the credit for making the tour enjoyable. The company needs to upgrade headsets/equipment as many had constant static. Also they changed the hotel location and I didn’t realize until I checked the messages a few minutes before the busses were supposed to load. Luckily it was a couple blocks away.

Too Tall - Guide didn't let us know that there were 6600 steps to the Acropolis. At 76 Y/O, it was painful. Didn't make it to the top.

Good places, bad experienced in history. - The places visited on the tour were very good. Quite comprehensive for a half-day tour that we took. However, the tour guide who provided the explanations had a complete lack of knowledge about the history and content of the tour. 90% of the time, she talked about operational matters regarding how to walk and be careful with what we did, and only 10% of the time, she explained the monuments, their history, and other details.

Worlds worst tour - Probably the worst tour we have experienced across 30 countries over 25 years. Guide english was very poor, disorientated, made lots of mistakes, did not have all working handsets, often got information wrong and did not know how to manage a group. The tour goes around and around the city repeating directions, not stopping at enough key buildings. Explanations were poor. Despite the protests in main CBD, driver and next guide hassled us off the bus 10-20 mins away from drop off point so they could rush to next tour. Poor organisation. Dont do this with tour operator, everyone use hop on hop off buses for city then go to Acropolis separately. A full refund would be appreciated.
