Acropolis/Parthenon Tour

We did the walking tour. Sofia did a great job explaining all the different characteristics about the Acropolis and Parthenon.. we moved at a moderate pace and the climb from the bottom to the top was deep and crowded at times with many steps (some that were slippery).

William_S, May 2026

Our tour guide, Nicole,...

Our tour guide, Nicole, was great. Lots of great information we would not have known without her. The Acropolis and the Parthenon are amazing.
