Whisper audio devices will be given to all our travelers to keep social distance guidelines which are sanitized thoroughly both from our staff but also inside the charging cases with UVC lights.
Great tour, very interesting stories about the history were told by our guide. Very convenient, no need to search how to get there, just buy the tour and all will be taken care off
It was a good experience. The guide was great and he told us about history, art and archeology. I found this trip reallty interesting. I would recomend it!
Hoewel het eigenlijk wel te verwachten was volgens de info. Het was vooral rijden van en naar de locatie. De tempel is zeker indrukwekkend. Maar achteraf gezien zou ik het niet gedaan hebben. De gids probeerde tijdens de heen reis met info de reizigers te vermaken.
Our guide Evan was by far the best. He was really great wi th my family. Very very knowledgeable.
Great guide (Key Tours - I can’t recommend them enough) and stunningly beautiful site.
Very enjoyable. And definitely a must for anyone visiting Athens.
The tour is really beautiful, informative and inspiring. The guide Anastasia was great! But - if tourists were given 30 minutes more to have a meal at the Cafe, it would be better.
