Start this carbon-neutral tour by passing by the Panathinaikos Stadium, home of the first modern Olympic Games. Our scenic drive will continue past by the Prime’s Ministers residence and the Royal Palace guarded by the colorful Evzones guards in traditional uniforms. View the Roman Temple of Olympian Zeus, the National Gardens, the beautiful Arch of Hadrian, and the Old Parliament in birthplace of democracy. Look forward to discovering the Acropolis high atop Athens. Experience the history of the Pantheon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena and built in the 5th century B.C. Next we will visit the Erechtheion. This beautiful temple can be easily recognized by its the Porch of Maidens, gazing over the Greek Capital. Experience breathtaking views from the Acropolis as the city of Athens opens up below you. After a morning full of beauty and history, relax and enjoy a delicious Greek lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, we will take a scenic drive along the coastal road which offers fantastic views of the Saronic Gulf. Your expert archaeologist escort will dive you into the history, the myths and the legends of the temple which was built here in 44 B.C. on a hilltop overlooking the sea. It was dedicated to Poseidon, god of the seas. Entering the archaeological site, you will have one-hour free time to enjoy the remaining of the temple and the breathtaking views over the Aegean sea.

The tour did not start at 8:00 a.m. as stated, but only at 8:45 a.m., as we needed about 75 minutes to finally get all the tour guests on the bus. With more than 30 people, the group was clearly too l (Read More)arge, especially since the audio guides did not work technically. Some of the tourists had limited mobility and were very overweight, so progress was sometimes very slow. The tour guide Anastasia shone with sensational knowledge and was very friendly and open and had to be very patient because of the unreliable participants. The so-called day tour consisted of two tours, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The guests also changed between these two tours and it took about 1 hour until the afternoon tour to Attica began. Lunch was tasty and the sights were of course indescribable. The tour price also includes tickets worth €40.

The guides were great but it felt like a lot of wasted time dealing with the transfers and multiple different tours combined into one group. I’m hindsight I would’ve booked things separately. We rode (Read More)around for 1.5 hours just on the pickup before the tour even started, and the bus couldn’t get close to our hotel so it defeated the whole point of booking a tour with pickup included. Lunch was also good but a limited menu and we were on our own; would’ve preferred to just choose my own lunch as there were plenty of good restaurants around to choose from. We got picked up at 7:15am and couldn’t eat anything until 2:15pm (can’t eat or drink on the bus or the historic sites): that was too long for those of us who aren’t used to such a late lunch!

The experience was amazing !! The guide was brilliant !! It's worth every penny, especially if you don't have much time to visit the principal spots in Athens.

Late to pick us up. Then because our group was going to be small they cancelled the second half of our trip and we couldn’t see the cape for sunset or anything
