“Alex our driver and guide was fantastic, super helpful and very attentive. He met us at the cruise port right on time, answered all questions, even the silly ones and was so eager to share his knowledge of Athens, the sights and history. We saw so many sights, beat the bulk of the lines at the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum and then had a lovely and super tasty lunch at a little coastal restaurant near Poseidon's Temple. If you want to make the most of a day in Athens, this tour will make that happen.”

Review of Athens’ one-hour English Greek theatre performance, with mythology, comedy, homemade costumes, and Acropolis views for $36.28.

“This play is a satire. We were not expecting that. The owner of the venue was so welcoming and held the show until everyone of our party had arrived. If you enjoy this type of performance, you will give it a 5. We misunderstood . We thought this performance was going to be a dance performance.”

Review of Knossos Palace’s skip-the-line small-group tour, with guide quality, timing, price, meeting tips, and honest advice for Crete visitors.

“We had a positive experience touring Knossos Palace. Our guide was very informative and communicated clearly with the group, even on a day with 50+ mph winds. She did a great job using audio equipment so we could follow along despite the weather. The site itself is rich with history and mythology, and having a guide made a big difference in helping us understand and appreciate what we were seeing. While Knossos is fascinating, there’s only so much to explore on-site, so we’d recommend pairing the visit with a trip into the city afterward to round out the day. Overall, a worthwhile tour that gives great insight into one of…”

“Our guide was knowledgeable. 3 star rating as i find the operator not trustworthy. One of our friend fell sick and we contacted the operator to check and move the tour to next day. Their first response was that they have already bought entrance tickets. When we said we’ll pay for those if they’ll help us change date to next day, their response changed to all the tours for tomorrow are sold out. Which was not true we could find availability on Viator and could very well book the tour for next day (i have screenshots of the booking page) I would caution anyone booking this as they weren’t truthful…”
