Saw all the important sites. It’s very crowded. Rough terrain for walking. Be very careful temperatures were very hot. A few of our group got sick from the heat.

Our tour guide, Lydia, was truly the most knowledgeable guide we have ever had for any tour we have taken. Lydia is an archeologist and a teacher so her training and experience were precisely what was needed to make a good tour great. My husband and I did a private tour and we both learned so much. Because of Lydia, we decided to start our next cruise in Athens to explore more of this interesting city and culture.

We had a great time at the acropolis and Parthenon. Peggy the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history, architecture. We enjoyed our time there. This was the highlight of the tour. We had a quick van tour of the other points on the tour. We did not have time to stop in the placa area for a quick bite to eat or to shop. The first part of the tour was definitely better than the second part. We would recommend the small group private tour but with some extra walking time on the backend.
