7.Akrotiri Prehistoric City Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.1 · 36 reviews · 1.5 hours

Explore Akrotiri with a licensed archaeologist, then wander the Bronze Age site and nearby beach, but weigh the high price and mixed guide service.

“Don’t book this. The tour guide never showed up. Another guide was giving a large group tour and kindly let us tag along for her tour, but it was hard to hear - which is exactly why I booked the private tour. The tour company confirmed they did not send a guide and refunded the money. Unfortunately we were leaving the next day and could not reschedule a private tour, so the opportunity to get a private tour was lost.”

“Tour never happened. I got a call to change from 10:00am to 1:00pm. At 1:00pm. No body showed. I exchanged multiple texts with the operator. The operator refused to speak to me on the phone. It was a disaster. Totally unreliable and unprofessional. It ruined our entire day. I would never recommend them and I would urge Tripadvisor to end its relationship with that tour company.”

“One hour late. We were directed to wait at a spot by our hotel(CliffsideHotel) and we were early. Our guide was waiting elsewhere. No communication. We tried and the hotel tried. We were told by the supervisor when we found our guide that we wasted an hour. We would not get compensation. The restaurant was around the corner from our hotel. And our tour was now two hours. We were taken to a tourist place we could have gone to on our own for some tastes of cheese and jam and honey and a few dips. We walked about an hour, and then taken to a wine cellar that was…”
