We had to wait a long time to pick up clients at the hotels. And they confused us with the pick-up place with two different pieces of information. I think that you should go up to the acropolis first: less people and less heat and then do the route through the city.

The tour was great. Our tour guide knew Spanish fluidly and her knowledge of Greek history was quite impressive. We were really glad we purchased the tour because there is a LOT to learn and see in the Acropolis and in the museum that you can't really do by yourself. The stop at the Panathenaic Stadium was too short, just 10min. I wish we had more time. The Acropolis Museum is massive and quite nice. IMPORTANT: they make you store your backpacks in the cloakroom. I forgot to take out my phone and did the entire tour inside the museum phoneless, which is a shame because there is a lot of interesting stuff going on. Still loved the experience. Since we were staying at an Airbnb, we were asked to meet them at their offices. It was a bit crazy there. We saw the Spanish bus, told them that was ours, they told us it wasn't and to sit tight until our names were called. Waited for 10-15 minutes, called our names and told us to get on that same bus. Other than that, we had an amazing time.

Overall the Athens city tour was good. While our guide was very knowledgeable and kind, she struggled a bit to keep the group organized among the large crowds. Also we were told to arrive at 8:15am but did not start until after 9:30am, which forced the tour to feel very rushed.
