The tour timing was not accurately depicted. We were late for a tour we booked after that one because the tour guide moved very slowly, took breaks, and it did not begin at 9am as expected.

Keep the group together and do not start telling the story of an object before the whole group is in front of it. It is a lot of visitors and crowded so it is difficult for everyone to be close to the guide all the time.

There is no point trying to desribe the sheer glory of the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum (which is fantastic!) in mere words. Understanding this period of ancient Greece through sculpture and town planning is essential for understanding Europe, even today.

Tour ok but guide difficult to understand, I recommend taking your own headphones to have both ears with sound. The explanations weren't very detailed on the construction and architecture of the acropolis.

The guide (Viktor) was amazing, very nice and knowledgeable, he answered all the questions and made sure we all had fun. I don't give 5stars because the experience with the booking and the platform was horrible, we booked a guided tour, but in the app it showed we had booked and audio tour...

It was a pleasure to spend the day with Hermes. As a guide, he is not only knowledgeable but a wonderful host. We felt his passion for all things Hellenic and cannot thank him enough. I would not hesitate to strongly suggest any tour that he may lead.

We toured the Acropolis and Museum in Athens. Margret was an amazing tour guide. She was knowledgeable and considerate of our group member's needs and wellbeing. We had visited the site before but with her as our guide, we learned so much more. She made history come alive for us.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a guided tour at the Hofburg Vienna, and it was an exceptional experience! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history and architecture of this magnificent palace. They brought the stories of the Habsburg dynasty to life with fascinating anecdotes and detailed explanations. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to fully appreciate the grandeur of the imperial apartments, the stunning collections in the museums, and the beautiful gardens. Our guide was also very attentive, answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. I highly recommend this guided tour to anyone visiting Vienna. It’s a fantastic way to delve into the rich history of the city and gain a deeper understanding of its cultural heritage. Five stars!

The guide was competent and friendly. Unfortunately, it was so crowded that you couldn't really see everything, e.g. the chronological order of the Sisi paintings. What a pity! In addition, not all rooms were open to visitors due to the construction work. Mmh, some information would have been fair. For a bit more Hofburg flair, I visited the library, which cost me another entrance fee.

The tour by our guide was great. The museum itself was an imposition. The organization seems to be designed for maximum profit. Far too cramped, far too full. It would be better to organize it in such a way that guided tours are allowed in at certain times, and private visitors are also allowed in at other times. MfG Hoffmann
