Had a great experience and the people were so nice here.
Great tour and tour guide. I highly recommend this tour. Costas was very knowledgeable and added a lot of value to the tour.
I was in Athens and I went around with blue bus and I was very happy with this company and especially the Service also Les employees and especially Monsieur Fouad (Moroccan)
Views and photos were amazing…outstanding day out by bus….the service was excellent ….as soon as possible we will do it again ….keep going guys….
It was an okay tour. Athens is covered in graffiti and traffic getting to the Acropolis, Parthenon area takes up most of your time. It is quite a few steps to the lower Acropolis and Parthenon viewing area and rocky viewing area overlooking the city. if you want to see Acropolis up close you have to buy tickets and take more steps way up to see them both. We were dropped off in Monastriki shopping area for an hour. Same stuff in every shop. Had a bit of a driving tour around Piraeus port where all the yachts are. We did stop at the university and old library which are stunning buildings.
I arranged a private tour of Athens for my cruise group and it was amazing! Fotis and his driver did an excellent job taking us to the highlights of Athens! We saw the Acropolis (we did not want to go inside). We saw an olympic stadium. We saw the guards watching over the tomb of the unknown soldier (we missed the changing of the guards). We had free time in which to eat and shop. I had a special request to stop at McDonald's for fried apple pies and Fotis delivered. It was a wonderful 5 hours - we thoroughly enjoyed it!
We appreciate you sharing your experience! It sounds like Fotis and his driver made your Athens tour unforgettable, hitting all the key highlights and even fulfilling your special request. We're glad to hear you had such a wonderful time!
Avoid this hop on hop off bus at all cost. They make you get off the bus and do not take you back to the cruise port. They take you around the city and don’t follow the route, then they take you to the acropolis way. You have to stand on a very long line for over an hour to wait for the bus to take you back to the cruise port. The buses should go directly to the cruise port. We should not have to get on and off and wait for over an hour.
Terrible experience!! It’s cheap but it’s not worth it …. Just a few bus and the tour to the piraeus and glyfada it’s not interesting
The half day city tour of Athens and Piraeus was an absolute delight from start to finish. Our knowledgeable guide, Kostas, led us through the city's historic streets, regaling us with fascinating insights about each landmark we visited. The tour's well-planned itinerary seamlessly blended must-see sights with hidden gems, giving us a well-rounded perspective of the city's culture and history. From the iconic landmarks to charming local eateries, every stop on the tour left a lasting impression. The comfortable transportation and impeccable organization made the experience all the more enjoyable. Kostas was simply amazing. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore and learn about this beautiful city.
Went on a private tour a family of four around Athens with Carlos, we were out for 5 hours had amazing time. Carlos was really friendly and was very knowledgeable about Athens. Great really would recommend.
