  • 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.

  • An incredible time with Merita and Teddy

    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 rans 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.

  • Great tour good value

    It was a great knowledgeable guide for the Acropolis Teddy for sunset was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and engaging one of best guides we've had. Wished overall tour included more historical sites instead of a 3 hour break would have paid more to have more sites included with knowledgeable guide and beach break could be a little longer. It was a great value had a good time especially with teddy on sunset portion.
