This trip was not quite what we expected. The bus tour and museum were great, but we expected a ride to the base of the Acropolis. The walk to the Acropolis from the Museum was at too fast a pace and too difficult a climb for my wife, so we had to forgo the walk up. We never made it up to the top. We wouldn’t have taken this tour if we knew what was entailed.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the bus tour and the New Acropolis Museum, but we’re very sorry that the walk to the Acropolis was too challenging and prevented you from reaching the top. Unfortunately bus cannot go closer to the Acropolis Hill/ site and there is paved walking road and stairs uphill. Your comments will take under consideration your comments so future guests have clearer information about what the tour entails. MTM Customer Support
Poet Andrew was an absolute delight incredible worthsmith and MC. It was a memorable experience. I recently moved to abingdon and visited Oxford for a bus tour with a friend. Best Decision ever, so much so I might go again just for the Poet Andrew Experience.

Cassandra is fabulous as your Go Tours escort! Give her a raise and a hug! She is friendly and knowkedgeable and a proud Greek!
The guide, while knowledgeable, did not ensure everyone in the group had equal access to the information he was sharing. He stated he’d walk slowly so all members of the group could keep up, but he didn’t. In addition, he didn’t look around to see where his group members were. He didn’t carry a sign in the air so he could be tracked. There were no audio devices to hear what he was saying and he exhibited a somewhat negative attitude to some members of the group. Several people left the group to explore on their own and we heard others express their dissatisfaction with the tour guide in general. Of course, the location and museum were outstanding, but we wouldn’t go on this tour again.

Tour guide was knowledable but did not maintain contact with the whole group, losing some at times. She used a black umbrella to see her but did not keep it at a hight to be seen. Drop off was not made at our pick up hotel. Bus driver dropped us off on a street and gave us confusing instructions where our hotel was. The tour guide had left the bus half an hour earlier.

Pick up was on time, driver, Nicholas, very pleasant and our guide, George, very knowledgeable! I would recommend this tour because we had a overview of Athens highlights and lots of time to see the museum and the Acropolis.
