5.00We had a very skilled and knowledgeable driver. He rerouted us out of traffic jams and got us to the important sites. We saw the Acropolis, the Acropolis museum, Zeus’ Temple, the modern Olympic stadium (1896) and the Plaka district for a delicious snack.

4.00The personalize tour visited most of wish list and also gave us unknown additional historical fact along the routes. My favorite was witnessing the changing of the guards. Suggest that you verify the elevator is operational (if needed) at the Parthenon BEFORE being pressured to buy the admission tickets as we paid an extra $30 each and then could not enter as we needed the elevator and no refund was provided.
