Great overview of the sites. Does not go to the Acropolis.

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a fabulous excursion! A little bit of everything. A little disappointed that we didn’t go to the Acropolis/Parthenon…. We viewed it from below and a parallel hill. Would have liked a little more time in the town of Plaka and the museum. Was suppose to be a 7 hour excursion, was only 6. Received and email the day before to start it an hour earlier. That was fine, but it was advertised as 7 hours and it was 6. The van and small group of 6 was perfect!! The guide was very knowledgeable.

Worth every penny

Published on Jul, 2024

Worth every penny! Our shore excursion with JAT and Anastasia was fantastic! We explored ancient ruins, visited museum, took awesome pictures and learned so much about Greek history. The highlight was visiting Plaka where we had some free time to shop and relax in a lovely Greek tavern. Worth every penny!

Great tour

Published on Jun, 2024

Great tour that covered a lot of area. The museum was very informative. Just enough time on your own to explore

Great tour!

Published on Mar, 2024

Dimitri was an excellent tour driver. We saw the Olympic Stadium, the Parthenon and its museum. My favorite was the changing of the guard - mostly because Dimitri explained in detail the symbolism of the actions and uniform. Dimitri provided a lot of history and taught us a few Greek greatings. He always found excellent parking for access to our tour spots and gave us enough time to enjoy our visit on our own time, as well. I highly recommend Dimitri!
