This tour gives you the opportunity to observe the striking contrasts that make Athens such a fascinating city.

Continue and pass by the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Hadrian's Arch, the Parliament and the Monument of the Unknown Soldier, the Academy, the University, the National Library, the Constitution Square (Syntagma). At the Acropolis you will visit the architectural masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens: The Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and finally “the harmony between material and spirit”, the monument that “puts order in the mind”, the Parthenon. Continue and visit a must-see in Athens, the place where finally the statues found their home and admire the wonders of the classical era: The New Acropolis Museum, voted by the Sunday Times as the 3rd best museum of the world.

The guide, while knowledgeable, did not ensure everyone in the group had equal access to the information he was sharing. He stated he’d walk slowly so all members of the group could keep up, but he didn’t. In addition, he didn’t look around to see where his group members were. He didn’t carry a sign in the air so he could be tracked. There were no audio devices to hear what he was saying and he exhibited a somewhat negative attitude to some members of the group. Several people left the group to explore on their own and we heard others express their dissatisfaction with the tour guide in general. Of course, the location and museum were outstanding, but we wouldn’t go on this tour again.

Tour guide was knowledable but did not maintain contact with the whole group, losing some at times. She used a black umbrella to see her but did not keep it at a hight to be seen. Drop off was not made at our pick up hotel. Bus driver dropped us off on a street and gave us confusing instructions where our hotel was. The tour guide had left the bus half an hour earlier.

Pick up was on time, driver, Nicholas, very pleasant and our guide, George, very knowledgeable! I would recommend this tour because we had a overview of Athens highlights and lots of time to see the museum and the Acropolis.
