    Travelled with family


    This was broken up into 2 separate tours am and pm. The guide for the morning dropped us off at the restaurant for lunch and left us. We were informed that we had to make our own way back to the tour office for the pm trip pick up. The tour guide for the afternoon was awful and lacked any communication skills and it was an 90minute trip for a 10 minute tour by ourselves, guide didn’t come with us. Very disappointed

    Excellent value and great way to get to know Athens. Good to get to the Acropolis early before the crowds. Our guide really brought it all alive. Museum also ver interesting with our guide's help. Lunch was very good, 3 courses and we just paid for drinks. Trip to Cape Sounion also well worthwhile.

    Travelled with a group of friends


    The guide was amazing- very knowledgeable and friendly. She coped extremely well with a group of people who were rude. I would recommend giving more advice to people before booking to save the issues we had. Members of the group complained they were bored, were constantly saying they wanted to leave when she was trying to explain all the history! Very frustrating for us and for the guide.

Ateenan yksityinen puolipäiväretki sisältäen Akropoliin ja Plakan

Antiikin kreikkalaiset jättivät Ateenaan muistomerkkien, patsaiden ja esineiden aarreaitan. Tällä yksityiskierroksella tutustut oppaan johdolla kaikkiin tärkeimpiin nähtävyyksiin. Kohokohtiin kuuluvat roomalainen Agora, Hadrianuksen kirjasto, keskiaikainen Plakan kaupunginosa ja Unescon maailmanperintöluettelossa oleva Akropolis. Vassiliki, yksi asiantuntevista paikallisoppaistamme, kertoo: "Akropolis tarkoittaa "korkeaa kaupunkia", ja sillä viitataan yleensä mihin tahansa kukkulan huipulle rakennettuun asutukseen. Kreikassa on monia kaupunkeja, joissa on akropolis, mutta Ateenan akropolis on varmasti niistä tunnetuin."Aloitat opastetulla kierroksella akropoliilla, jonne pääset jonon ohi sisään. Ihaile näkymiä Areiopagilta – kukkulalta, jossa kreikkalaiset jumalat legendan mukaan pitivät hovia. Anna oppaasi herättää historia henkiin, samalla kun ihailet antiikin maamerkkejä, kuten roomalaista agoraa, Dionysoksen teatteria sekä Asklepieionin ja Parthenonin yhä pystyssä olevia pylväitä. Sen jälkeen matka jatkuu Plakaan, joka on pääkaupungin viehättävin ja historiallisin kaupunginosa. Sen mutkittelevat kävelykadut kuhisevat sekä paikallisista ja vierailijoista, ja siellä on lukuisia tavernoita, joiden pöydät levittäytyvät kaduille. Vassiliki sanoo: "Ateenalaiset kutsuvat tätä aluetta "jumalten asuinalueeksi", sillä se on ollut asuttu jo antiikin Kreikan ajoista lähtien. Itse asiassa kaivaukset osoittavat, että alue ei ole juurikaan muuttunut antiikin ajoista."
