Discover the best things to do in Athens

Very well organized excursion. Unfortunately to this day the Greek farmers' protest is still going on and this lengthens the trip by at least 1 hour. This led to not being able to visit the caves. Anyway, the visit to the monasteries was very interesting and the guide explained the history and geology of the places well. In hindsight it would be worthwhile to take a night out and not make the day trip from Athens; that way we would see the monasteries a little more leisurely. Keep in mind that as of today there is an entrance fee of 5 euros per person.

I used the Gray Line Athens Hop-On Hop-Off bus for 2 days combined with the Parthenon entrance ticket, and the experience was excellent. The buses were consistently on time and very reliable, unlike many hop-on hop-off services I’ve used in other countries. The routes are long and well planned, covering many interesting areas, with three different routes to choose from. The Yellow (Beach) Route was my favorite for its relaxed scenery, while the Blue Route is shorter but still very appealing, and the Red Route offers a comprehensive overview of Athens’ main highlights. The Parthenon ticket made everything very convenient. There was no need to queue, and entry was quick and hassle-free—just scan the barcode and walk straight in. Overall, this combo offers great value and is a very efficient way to explore Athens comfortably.

It was a wonderful clear day to visit. Our guide Demetrius ( I believe)was engaging and provided a wealth of information. It was like taking a fun graduate level field trip with your favorite professor. 100% worth booking.

Kristos was one of the most memorable guides!! We loved his knowledge and passion for the acropolis and the surroundings!! It made it all come to life! I would pick every tour with him if given the choice. The best two hours spent in Athens!!

The guide Dido (hopefully I wrote it correctly) was great. The audio guide works on GPS - it starts an interesting story and then just switches to another and you cannot hear the ending. In general, the tour is great for lazy afternoon in the city, if you don't want to plan anything yourself. Everything is taken care of. And the view of the temple is great even without buying the entering tickets.

It all started with a great pick-up right at the landing stage of our ship. When we got off the boat, we saw the bus just leaving. A quick call from the driver of the next bus and the first bus drove back a few meters and we were allowed to ride along. All the transfers to the next buses also went very smoothly. Thank you very much!

It was good and interesting, but unfortunately there were too many people on the acropolis site and in the museum.

If you are doing tours adhoc and didn't have time to book a guide, this is the way to go. The explanations are really good, you are being guided by the gps feature so you know what you are looking at, depending your location, very useful in places like delphi and the acropolis. The ability to ask custom questions would be amazing, I hope the developers add it soon.
