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.

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.
It’s Just Okay

This tour was just okay. Visiting the Acropolis was great. Yes it was hot, and busy. But overall it was a good experience. But beyond that, not sure the tour was worth it. Our guide wasn’t proficient in English (not a knock since she speaks multiple languages, just made it harder to fully understand). Another stinking point, we were crammed into a van sitting on top of each other. After having walked in the hot sun, sweating we had to return to a van to sit on top of one another. Overall not a great experience. Note: we left before the sunset experience.
Great way to see all of...

We wanted to visit the popular places in Athens without having to walk in the heat so this was the best option for us and did not regret booking it. We had George as our main tour guide and he was phenomenal! He was very knowledgable about the history of Greece and kept us entertained throughout the trip. Highly recommend if you want to see Athens with a smaller group tour.
