What are people saying about Parthenon

Athens: Acropolis & Parthenon Guided Tour with Optional Museum

Theresa_Z, Sep 2026

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.

Brock_P, Sep 2026

A great afternoon exploring the Acropolis and Parthenon

An amazing introduction and exploration of the Parthenon and the Acropolis. Ava's enthusiasm and knowledge made the huge crowds disappear. She was also great at finding perfect camera spots and places in the shade on a hot afternoon. Very high recommendation!

No need to wonder nor wander- touring made easy!

An excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Helen was patient and explained so much to us. She was very conscious of her attendees and pointed out not only all the points of interest and the history, but also made us all aware of our footings and safety concerns. As an older person I deeply appreciate the concern and attention given to this. The trip was just the right length of time and perfect for first time travelers to Greece. Kudos for a job well done.

Karen_H, Sep 2026

Only way to see acropolis!

Checking was easy and well organized. Amazing guide!!!!! He was so Knowledgeable and funny and genuinely concerned for everyone’s safety. Cause the trek up to top is rough and slippery. The “hot pink” group started as strangers and left as acquaintances because the guide took care to learn about us and “customize” the experience. Great 4 hours spent.

Amazing tour, our guide Lydia is exceptional!

The highlight of our Greece trip is probably this Acropolis tour that includes the museum visit. The tour started promptly and our guide Lydia is amazing. She is very knowledgeable, knows the best spot to take pictures, remembers all the historical information, had amazing situational awareness, being cautious about the kids on tour and ensuring safety of her guests proactively reminding us to hydrate and watch our steps. My young kids enjoyed the museum tour because of Lydia.
