Wonderful Tour, let down at the end by the drop-off point in Athens

Wonderful tour with a super-knowledgeable guide, comfortable transport and amazing sites. Hotels and food were absolutely fine. One word of warning (which is why I knocked off a star): on the final day, we were dropped off in the centre of Athens (with our luggage) by the tour operator (Keytours), not at our drop-off hotel. We later complained to Viator, who eventually apologised and offered a compensatory payment, which was appreciated.

Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend

While our tour guide and bus driver were both excellent—professional, knowledgeable, and friendly—the rest of the experience with this tour company was deeply disappointing. The hotels were advertised as 4-star accommodations, but in reality, they were barely 2 stars. The first hotel served a buffet that was clearly not fresh: the food was cold, dried out, and unappetizing. We booked for three adults but were crammed into a single room with minimal space, yet still charged full price for each person. This felt deceptive and unfair. Communication with the company was equally frustrating, responses were delayed, unhelpful, and at times, borderline condescending. Worst of all, the travel plans were changed without our knowledge. We were combined with a separate 1-day tour group and forced to wait around while their itinerary was completed, turning our return to Athens into a disjointed, drawn-out ordeal. My strong recommendation: stay away from this company. The lack of transparency, poor accommodations, and unprofessional communication made for a very disappointing trip.

Wonderful trip

Excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to. Very good hotels and nice but little expensive place to stop for lunch. Wonderful trip

Great three day tour of ancient sites

Imteresting sites, museums and commentary along the way. Tours were organised at times when sites were less crowded which was a bonus.

The BEST EVER!

FANTASTIC! We rarely do tours but wanted to experience the Greek culture - Dozia Dermatidou exceeded our expectations! If I could give this tour a 10 it still would not really express how impressive her knowledge and passion is!! Everything was extraordinary, all details were carefully done, our comfort was important to her and the driver (Jon - bus driver extraordinaire!!!), the places we visited and stayed at were exceptional…We HIGHLY recommend this tour hands down! And to add to how exceptional this tour company is, our transfer to another bus in Delphi with Irene Koumpoura and driver Vaggelis was as superior as well! We felt very taken care of and had a wonderful time! A MUST do in Greece!!
