Lots to learn. Be prepared to walk many steps and learn. Lovely city. The city is clean. We watched the changing of the guard. Acropolis is a must see!

Terrific Athens & Acropolis Tour
Our group of eight had an informative and delightful Athens & Acropolis tour with Nikos. He showed us all the highlights and was always prompt in picking us if we spent some time on our own. Our vehicle was clean and comfortable and Nikos provided us with bottled water. We highly recommend this tour.

Great tour!
Start of tour is very close to Acropolis. Tour guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable. He made frequent stops to explain many aspects of the Acropolis and Parthenon. He was also very conscientious about our safety up the steps and path.

Excellent tour and guide! Outstanding overall!
Truly enjoyed this experience with such a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide Nikkos (hope I spelled right!)He really took his time with us. as we had my parents, 75 & 81 years old with us and he was kind enough to have many breaks as we walked up to the Acropolis. He answered all of our questions and shared his extensive knowledge with us, really made history come alive. Thank you for making this a special time for our family, truly a moment to remember.

Great into to Athens
Constantine went out of his way to ensure our private tour included all that we wanted. He was also instrumental in ensuring we acquired tickets to the Acropolis and had enough time at each location to enjoy our visit. He provided great information as we drove through the city and prior to entering the sites even though he did not enter the sites with us as a tour guide (which was explained in the viator tour description).

Visiting the Acropolis...
Visiting the Acropolis was a great experience. Our Guide Anna was excellent, so knowledgeable, very professional and she made the whole experience interesting & enjoyable. The climb was well paced so everyone including retirees like ourselves could keep up and did not fall behind. Our tour also included the Acropolis Museum which was also very interesting and worthwhile. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens.

Our guide (Betty) was wonderful! We didn’t rush between objects or sites, and she was great at providing background and responding to our questions. By far, having a personal and professional guide is the best way to see/explore the Acropolis, Parthenon, Agora and surrounding sites. Thank you to our guide!

Can you do the Acropolis in one day?
Yes, you can easily explore the Acropolis in one day. In fact, most tours of the Acropolis take around one hour. But it’s wise to budget two hours to account for the time you might spend waiting in line or walking uphill to the main site.
