Traveler reviews
Great experience
Was so informative and our guide Maria made the experience so good. The museum is exceptional and should not be missed
Greek holiday
Our tour guide Georgia was extremely knowledgeable and was over all amazing tour. Key tours is will with the money, using then again tomorrow
Tour moved earlier with no communication
We arrived at the meeting point 10 minutes early only to be told that the tour had been moved forward half an hour and the tour had left without us. The operator confirmed they had not notified us of the change and blamed this on us booking via Viator. It is unclear why they didn't contact us as our phone number was provided via Viator. This was extremely disappointing as we were only 10 minutes away and could have arrived quickly once they realised we hadn't been contacted (even if this was once the group had assembled). The experience was a complete waste of time. We wasted an entire morning in Athens because of this communication failure. We received a refund but the attitude was terrible. The staff did not offer to book us on another tour and were dismissive about the whole incident. Luckily it wasn't peak season and we were able to find a last minute tour with another operator (Athens Walks Tour Company) which was fantastic. Although Keytours wasted our time, it turned out for the best as we had a wonderful experience with another company.
Amazing sites - terrible guide
While the sites on this tour are simply stunning (the Acropolis in particular), the whole experience suffered because of the bad tour guide. Her english wasn't that good (although I will cut her slack on that) so she was difficult to understand, talked non stop and never asked if we had any questions. The tour also went 30 minutes longer than scheduled mostly because an extra long vaping break (for herself) at the top of the Acropolis. More than half the people left the group before the end of the tour which speaks for itself.
Amazing
Our guide Nikos was wonderful! He is incredibly detail oriented and knowledgeable! So glad we decided to do a tour and could not have chosen a better guide!
