The half-day tour was well-organized and informative. Our guide was friendly and had a deep understanding of the city's history. The only minor issue was that we didn’t have as much time as I would have liked at each site. Overall, it was a great introduction to Athens and worth the time.

I had a great time on the half-day Athens tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided fascinating insights into the history of Athens. We managed to see the major highlights like the Acropolis and the Parthenon in a short amount of time. Perfect for those with limited time but still want to experience the best of Athens!
