“I’m not sure there’s much our guide could have done about the traffic and lack of parking, but because of the traffic and the crowds we were not able to get out at any of the sites to experience them up close, except to take pictures at the hilltop overlooking the Acropolis.

“I liked that hotel pickup/drop off was offered. Our tour guide Anastasia was very knowledgeable and nice. She made sure that we were all in the group before she went any further. It wasn’t easy considering that Acropolis was very crowded. She gave clear instructions as to where to go for breaks and where to meet after our free time. It was a very pleasant experience to see the amazing Acropolis which housed the Parthenon, Temple of Athena, etc. We were a group of 8 and everyone agreed that it was well worth it. The city tour afterwards was a plus!”
