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!

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.

Anna (Annie)—our tour guide—brought the Acropolis to life for us, along with the ancient world of the Parthenon and the Erechtheion. Our outdoor tour was followed by an insightful and very enjoyable visit to the world-famous Acropolis Museum. Thank you for the wonderful day.
