We will be in Athens in early October and will be there for 2-3 days. Any suggestions on reasonable city tours? Bob Haas

Not sure you really need a tour. The Acropolis is easy to find and does have tours. The new museum is an easy walk from there and the Agora is visible from there and easy to walk to. Otherwise, stroll around the Plaka and visit the museums.

And don't miss the fabulous Archeological Museum, which is not near the Acropolis. You'll probably need a cab. The view of the Acropolis from the Areopogus hill is unbelievable. We climbed up there on a Sunday when there was less pollution and took great pictures. Interesting ruins up there too. The Plaka is fun for eating.
