Due to the heat in Athens at the time of my trip, this tour was changed to an AM time slot! It was WORTH it! The views were just as amazing and the wait time was minimal!

The tour was phenomenal.Our tour guide, Ioanna, was so so knowledgeable, weaving historical and anthropological facts with Green myths in such an engaging way. It has been very hot in Athens recently, and she did an excellent job of walking the group to shade for the longer stretches of information and storytelling. We feel like we learned so much, and gained a deeper appreciation of the sights. The company was great too — we were running 7-10 minutes late and one of the people at the office walked us over to meet up with the group! The only note i have is that, while the “whisper” microphone/earpiece system was very helpful and a great aide to get all the info, its maximum volume was still a bit too quiet to hear everything. It would be great if it could get a bit louder, especially for hard-of-hearing individuals.

Highly informative & a must-do in Athens. Shame about the heatwave we experienced but it was still worth the effort - although I probably didn't take in as much as I could have from the knowledge the guide was sharing. She tried to shepherd us all to shady spots & did her best to look after everyone. But we had such a short time in Athens this trip was not something to miss. I would happily go again.
