We were disappointed with our Athens walking tour. We felt it was not good value for money (paying over $145 AUD and the group was way too big (28 people) . It was hard for our poor guide (who was very knowledgeable) to keep everyone organized. We did a quick stop at changing of the guards and a walk through the gardens, saw the temple of Zeus. Then it was onto the acropolis. We still had to pay for our entry tickets, another $20 EUR/person. We then did the guided tour of acropolis. We were glad to say goodbye to this large group and have some free time on our own. The rest of the group moved onto the museum. We enjoyed our free time in Plaka, having a lovely Greek lunch at ‘the cave of acropolis’ and a wander around the Plaka streets. We then meet up with the group again to catch the bus back to our ship. I feel We would have been better to catch a taxi into Athens and downloading an audio guide and touring ourselves. The tour was way to expensive and too large a group. It was not what I thought we had signed up for. Very disappointed.

Apollo our tour was great at sharing the Greek myths and history about the Acropolis. He also adjusted and helped deal with the heat so that we could enjoy our trip. Thank you for a great day!

Our guide, Apollon was excellent. He had great knowledge of history and mythology of Greece and was also an archaeologist. He was also considerate of all ages on the tour stopping frequently as we climbed to the top of the Acropolis. Thanks for a great experience!

The guide was very knowledgeable. It was a very hot day (33) and she tried to find shade as much as she could. One of our party was about to develop heat stroke and the guide was so helpful with salty snacks, water, rest and shade. We were all impressed with how she shared her passion for the architecture and artifacts.
