Fotis and Sights of Athens Tour - Amazing - 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!

City tour of Athens - 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.

Underwhelmed - 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.

Horrible tour company. Avoid and save 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.
