Acropolis

Theresa_G, Sept 2024

The acropolis was amazing, very crowded. Our guide told us very little and seemed disengaged. A lot of money for very little. Would not do it again.

Response from Host, Sept 2024

I am really sorry for the feelings you have about the tour. As I know, you did not hire a guide, so you probably are disappointed with the driver who was not able to drive and guide you through the city. Guides in Greece are a separate profession and the only licensed professionals allowed to guide you.

Very Expensive Taxi Ride to Acropolis

Brenda_F, Sept 2024

This was awful!! The driver picked us up and asked what we expected. He picked us up at 9:00 and our ticket to Acropolis was at noon. He didn't know what to do with us for 3 hours. He drove us around for 1 hour and then dropped us off in square at 10:00 and told us we had free time until 11:30. Brought us to the Acropolis and told us we could walk back to hotel when we were done, because it was only 1/2 mile walk. Don't book this!

5 Star Service

Z3188BErobynw, Jun 2023

Petros (Peter) and Chara were the absolute best. My husband and I were on a cruise that embarked/debarked from Athens. We arrived a day early and left a day after we returned. Peter dropped us off and picked us up at the port and also on our last day in Greece, Petro and Ciara took us on a 4 hour tour around Athens City. The gave us 5star service. The car was clean and they were on time every time they picked us up. They were so so nice and friendly to us. Their pricing was so reasonable. I made my reservations online and made a mistake. Chara contacted me and got it all straightened out. She kept in contact with me as our trip got closer to confirm everything. If you need transportation while in Athens contact Petros and Chara. They will be so helpful and put your heart at ease.

Felt us like a family

Ms Chara, she is amazing, very caring and down to earth, we highly recommend it. She made this trip really simple.
