    This was a well organised tour, with a prompt coach pick up and a very knowledgeable guide, Effi. The first part of the tour is coach based with brief stops along the way for pictures, but we finally disembarked at the Acropolis Museum and this is where the tour got really interesting with Effi's knowledge of the subject bringing the history to life in English and French. The museum is an ultra modern building with glass floors between levels and a fitting achitectural structure to complement the historic ruins it depicts and faces. The final part of the tour was the ascent to the top of the Acropolis and the Parthenon itself, which is an impressive sight. A very enjoyable half day and one I would recommend.

    Things were organized and the guides were professional, however, it was hard to enjoy the tour because it was so crowded. I recommend taking the tour during the weekday because during the weekend there were too many people. It's not that I don't like people, it's more that it took a lot of time to get from point A to point B due to the crowd. Taking pictures was somewhat of an issue too. Everytime I wanted to take a picture I had to wait until someone in front of me moved out of the way. Overall, I would say there was not enough time to stay and see everything because of the crowd. Just to get back to the coach took a long time because your fighting all the people trying to go up the stairs when you're trying to go down. And this was in October when there is less tourism.

    Tour was very rushed which somewhat spoiled it. Guide was very knowledgeable but speed made it difficult to digest everything. Also, the tour was not done on the day originally scheduled due to rain forecast that never existed in our opinion.

    This tour hit all of the spots we were looking to see - the Parthenon was a little busy, but only because two cruises has stopped to tour on that same day - aside from that, I highly recommend this tour if yo're looking for all of the 'top' attractions in Athens!

    Definatly glad we combined the Athens tour with the Acropolis Museum. This tour is a good introduction to historic Athens. Th e time at the Acropolis is amazinf and gives you a big picture. The addition of the Acropolis Museum provides the details.
