I chose to do this private tour with my group of 7 for the day we had in Athens from our NCL cruise. While NCL offered a similar excursion, they were far more expensive, for exactly the same itinerary. In hindsight, I made the right decision on so many levels. First, we paid less for a private tour of seven as opposed to the NCL guests that booked through the ship, paid more, and were on a bus with over 60 per bus, and at least 5 buses at each site....so 300 vs 7. Second, they did not have Cornelia, who was our tour guide, and so knowledgeable and energetic. She was an absolute doll, who was so sweet and caring, while also taking no back seat to any larger group or getting pushed around. She made sure that we saw everything, even though the traffic in Athens had cut in to at least an hour of our tour. We didn't miss anything and she was incredible! Third, Chris, our driver, whose catchphrase "Never fear, Chris is here" is so appropriate, because he worked so well with Cornelia. She was doing everything in her power to make sure we saw everything, and he let her go up the last minute before he safely, but surely raced us back to the Port so we were in time to for our ship. I heard from many NCL guests that they didn't get to see much of Athens, and would have used it for an "At Sea" day because it was so wasted due to the distance and crowded excursions. I am so grateful that we got to see it all. Thank you Cornelia and Chris, you saved our day!Alex D
