    Our guide Rania was so knowledgeable. We proceeded at an ideal pace. Enough time to see everything but not rushed. And my Segway was absolutely flawless..
    Thoroughly recommended.

    Very informative guide. No microphones and headphones just spoke to us at stops. Lots of segway action. Let us go earlier than our scheduled time. Was prepared for rain with ponchos.

    Wonderful guide that toured the old part of Athens on day one of our trip and made us feel comfortable about knowing where we were at and gave recommendations on places to visit. Fun, trusting, fast and even let us store our bags because Airbnb wasn’t available yet.

    Our tour guide was excellent and we were able to see things that we would have missed taking any other type of tour.

    This is the best way to get a quick highlight tour of the city. Highly recommended for the family.

    Fun! Too many pedestrians, but no one got hurt! It was a good way to get familiar with the Acropolis before tackeling the big hill itself!

    Our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable, and we covered a good bit of ground. Great way to see some things off the beaten path.

    I highly recommend this tour!! We had a family of six, and we all loved it! The staff was amazing!! They worked with our delays, and were very understanding and helpful. The segways were fun and easy to ride. We were able to cover a lot of ground riding them instead of walking plus it was just fun!! Two hours was a perfect amount of time to get everything in. I would do it again in a second!
