Acropolis of Athens and Acropolis Museum Tour

Elizabeth_M, Sep 2026

Great tour, best guide!

Solid tour with extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide Deppy. She was terrific explaining the history and mythical stories of the site, artifacts and museum. She was very conscious of safety, warning of possible slippery areas, and considerate to stop in shady areas to allow rests and rejuvenations before proceeding to next point of interest. Tour lasted well beyond published time, so bring comfortable shoes, water bottles, hats and your curiosity. You won’t be disappointed.

Acropolis/Parthenon Tour

Vicki (Vasiliki) was our tour guide and she was amazing! She staged our walk up to the top of the Acropolis to keep us in the shade as much as possible, and went slowly enough so that no one was having difficulty keeping up with the group. Her audio equipment worked efficiently and she had an incredible knowledge of everything!

This tour rocks!

Easy, fun bike ride around the city. Dodging the tourists was probably the most challenging part! And there were a lot! Our host for the tour, Marios, was fantastic—congenial, responsible, knowledgeable and fun. Kept watch over all of us, knew us each by name and got us safely around. We even got to see a special and unexpected military parade at the presidential mansion.

We found the tour to be...

We found the tour to be comprehensive and informative, better than if we had visited the Acropolis on our own. We were fortunate to have Annie as our tour guide. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and made the information interesting. Moreover, she remembered the name of each person in the group so that it gave the tour a personal feel. She represented Viator very well!

Best tour we have ever had.

Dimitris knowledge of the history of the Acropolis and Parthenon was amazing. As was his knowledge of the Parthenon’s restoration. He managed to our large group extremely well. His expertise carried on in the museum. My spouse and I have hired guides in other cities and none have had his breath of knowledge and great demeanor. I highly recommend this tour.

A must if you enjoy sampling Greek food.

No need to eat before the tour as you'll definitely will be full by the end.
