Great Early morning tour with Sofia F

Sofia F was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. She even gave recommendations for restaurants and other activities of interest in Athens. Seeing the Acropolis first thing in the morning was absolutely the best time. The museum allows you to see the figures on the Parthenon and other temples, and so much more.

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.

Cynthia_F, Sep 2026

Excellent tour and tour guide

Our guide was a historian so he imparted the perfect amount of details to augment the incredible Acropolis, Parthenon, and Acropplis Museum. My daughter's friend left her phone in the Acropolis Museum and he helped her locate it at the museum. He also recommended a fantastic restaurant in Naxos, which we went to when we got to the island.
