5.00Our tour guide Evangelos was excellent and provided informative details about the specific temple or artifacts we were viewing, as well as general Greek history during the bus ride. It is definitely worth the trip from Athens! There is a lot of walking on dirt paths that may be uneven at times, as well as stairs and inclines.

Pickup information - WRONG!

3.00The tour guide and the driver were wonderful. The information from Viator on pickup point was completely erroneous. We were told to be at the Grand Hyatt Hotel at 7:40. We arrived at 7:20. We were still waiting at 8 a.m. I had called Viator the day before to confirm the pickup. When I called at 8 a.m. we were told that the information was incorrect. We now had to be at the Keytours offices and to get in a cab ASAP so as not to miss our tour. Very stressful. We had already paid 50 euro to get to the wrong pickup point. This is the second bad experience we have had with Viator. Last August in Paris we had a scheduled tour of Montmarte. The tour guide never showed. We did get a reimbursement but again, it ruined our day.
Viator doesn’t work with customers
