Lindos is a beautiful village, well worth a visit in its own right. I couldn't go up to the Acropolis because I couldn't manage the steps carved from rock in various sizes and degradation. I'm told there were later stretches only a meter wide with nothing to hold onto and drops either side.
Communication is not Viator's strong point! I booked the trip around 10am Greek time the day before. I never received an email confirming the pick-up time or place; they said I'd get one in an hour. I tracked down their Help Centre and messaged around 5pm Greek time. Fortunately, someone phoned me around 6.30pm, unaware of either my message or that I hadn't had an email, and she gave me my pick-up time and place verbally: 7.15am, outside a church up the road. So that was before breakfast, not at my hotel, on a main road when it was just getting light & I'm a single woman. As it happened, they did try to pick-up at my hotel and waited 10 minutes for me, but I wasn't there. Fortunately, they came to find me or I would have missed the tour! I received a reply to my message about 5 minutes before we left Lindos on our way home!
So those 3 stars are all for Lindos and none for Viator (booking agent) or TripAdvisor!
