Great Customized Tour!

Our tour guide and driver were great. Very knowledgeable about the history of ancient times in Athens and reasons behind the ruins and artifacts. Pauline was accommodating and customized the tour for the physical limitations of our group of 7. While the tour had lots of unavoidable walking and steps, our tour guide made it special and easier by allowing frequent rest breaks and made sure the sites we were touring fit our schedule and key objectives. I would highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide Spiros in Athens was absolutely fantastic! He took us to all the must-see sites, kept us moving efficiently without ever feeling rushed, and made the entire day entertaining and engaging with his stories and knowledge.

Swimming in Athens with a beautiful sunset

We had Miltos as our guide, he was nice to talk to and told great stories and even gave us recommendations on where to eat and go in Athens. The lake was 24°, chilly at first but very relaxing and nice. I would say the temple of Poseidon is a must see when you visit, especially if you go near sunset!

So well organized. Our tour guide was George and he was amazing. Took time to explain everything, gave people a chance to ask questions. After the tour we wanted to stay in Plaka and he said we could stay and even said if we needed help getting back to the ship to text him and he would help us get transportation back. Highly recommend!

Athens: Guided Tour of Acropolis and Parthenon Tickets Included

Ann_B, Apr 2026

Knowledgeable guide and easy pace.

An easy paced tour of the Acropolis with a knowledgeable guide. We took the 10.00am trip, in April. There were no queues to get in, but by the time we left at 11.30 we could see that the line to get in was already long - so best to do an early trip. Quite expensive compared to a self-guided trip.
