“Really enjoyed this tour - the guide was friendly and full of interesting insights that added to the experience. It was my first time in the city so the first part of the tour was useful to get a feel for some different parts of the city - but the Acropolis was obviously the highlight. It's a long walk up, but broken up with stops to explain some of the different ruins on the south slope (which was quieter than the main entrance)”

“The BEST way to see the top sights & sites of Athens. DON’T DO THE ACROPOLIS if you’re not an enthusiast! Or go after this tour where you’ll find the secret entry tips. We covered so much ground whilst having fun sailing up the hills and through the streets. You couldn’t walk it all & it’s more fun than a bike! Costas runs this business from his passion. He gave us just enough facts & history and kindly waited at certain spots, for us to get off and explore / get an icecream. Our 13yo loved the adventure & Costas, especially because he gave us extra time at the end…”
