Hermes is an awesome tour guide!
, Oct 2019
He was incredibly well educated on the history and motivations that drove these monuments, very witty and personable. We feel very fortunate to have been guided through this tour by Hermes and very much appreciate his professionalism and genuine efforts to represent Greece culture honestly and with great pride in his heritage.

Athens City, Acropolis & Museum
Laura F
, Nov 2018
Bus picked us up at cruise port just outside of front door of cruise terminal. Our guide Constantine is an archeologist and was very kind and knowledgeable. It is a steep uneven climb up the steps to the top of acropolis and would not recommend for anyone with a cane. Wear tennis shoes and bring a bottle of water. The museum tied it all together and worth seeing. They returned us to the cruise port terminal at end of tour.

Our guide was Costas, He was amazing. Very informative, answered everyone's question and was very patience. Be in mind this is a walking tour. You walk about 5 or more miles. He keeps a good pace. TheAcropolis and the museum were overwhelming and amazing and everything I wanted. Dream come true!!
