Benaki Museum mga tour

great start to finish 9am on time and reached Athens station 11pm~. Shoutout to Yanis our driver, safe driver and Vassou our tour guide, she was friendly and knowledgeable!! saw 3 monasteries inside and they even brought us to view the 4th one although from outside as that closes early but it’s fine .. it’s the first monastery built and the most gorgeous one! worth the steps to visit all 3 monasteries. lunch was great too. only downside was the dinner which was very expensive , guess typical tourist trap euro20 for 2 souvlaki skewers w fries, salad and a water bottle. there’s other food options which I overheard other passengers complaining about the prices they had to pay as well. but other than that, beautiful trip! enough toilet breaks w toilets in the monasteries we visited

Madaling hanapin ang sakayan. Maraming nakitang monasterya sa biyahe. Wala akong dalang cash pero nakapasok din ako gamit ang credit card. Napaka-humor ng tour guide at lagi niyang sinasabi na siya ang paboritong anak ng kanyang mga magulang. Mahusay at maingat magmaneho ang drayber kaya mahimbing ang tulog ko sa buong biyahe. Tungkol naman sa sinasabing mahal ang pagkain, hindi ko naman naramdaman; parang normal na presyo lang naman dito.

Ang Cape Sounion tour na ito ay isang 'must-do' kapag bumibisita sa Athens! Nakamamangha ang biyahe sa baybayin (salamat kay driver Panos), at ang Templo ni Poseidon sa paglubog ng araw ay purong mahika. Ang aming gabay, si Maria, ay kahanga-hanga. Siya ay palakaibigan, masigla, napaka-organisado, at isang kamangha-manghang tagapagsalaysay na nagbigay-buhay sa mga mito at kasaysayan. Tiniyak niya na marami kaming oras upang tamasahin ang dalampasigan at mga tanawin nang hindi nagmamadali. Ito ay isang walang-kapintasang tour, at lubos kong inirerekomenda ang tour na ito sa sinuman!

Ang paggawa ng Athens city tour sa bus at paglalakad sa Acropolis ay ang pinakamagandang desisyon na nagawa ko. Haha~ Ang aming gabay na si Dimitris ay nagbahagi ng maraming makasaysayang impormasyon at ito ay masaya. Maayos na nagmaneho si Yanis, ang driver, sa sentro ng lungsod at ibinaba kami sa Acropolis. Maaaring napakasikip at medyo matarik ang atraksyon, ngunit mahusay kaming pinamahalaan ng gabay upang matiyak na walang maiiwan. Mag-book ng tour na ito—binibigyang-buhay nito ang mga sinaunang guho sa paraang hindi kayang kopyahin ng anumang teksto!

Ang aming tour guide na si Angela ay napakagaling, ipinaliwanag niya ang lahat nang detalyado at napakasaya niyang kasama!

we really enjoyed our tour! our tour guide was great (unfortunately I’ve forgotten her name). she was patient and attentive to all group members. The pace of the tour was good and she was very knowledgeable about the history of the site and Athens in general. My shy son even felt comfortable asking her questions.

Irene K and our driver George were an absolute pleasure! George is an excellent photographer with a wonderful sense of humour and Irene K was truly fantastic. she is extremely knowledgeable, flexible and adaptable to peoples interests and shared so much history and context that was truly valuable. Having such a qualified and experienced archaeologist as a guide to such ancient and important spaces was a real blessing! as for the trip itself, it was perfectly paced really such a special experience! I am so glad that I joined this tour and highly recommend it. The only negative thing I can think of was that the food at the restaurant for lunch on the first day was just okay and a little overpriced. Perhaps to tour company might consider some other locations to stop for lunch. Even just a smaller local spot considering the group itself was only small.

Napakahusay ng gabay at naging maayos ang buong tour mula sa pick-up point! Nakatanggap kami ng magagandang impormasyon tungkol sa Acropolis at sa mga artifact sa museo.

I participated in a 2-day, 1-night tour. For the hotel in Kalambaka, I chose the 4-star option, but I ended up being the only person placed in a large hotel on the outskirts of town. It took about a 20-minute walk to get to the town center. Given this, I would have rather stayed at a 3-star hotel in the center of town. I was satisfied with the tour content, though. The tour to see the sunset in Meteora was amazing. The next day, due to a misunderstanding on my part, I ended up booking a hiking tour. While this turned out to be nice in its own way, I wish I had chosen the option to visit more monasteries instead. Since it is far from Athens, I am glad I didn't do a day trip. If I am being picky, the pickup time on the second day could have been a little earlier.
