Wonderful visit to...

Wonderful visit to Acropolis and Parthenon. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and positively contributed to an enjoyable experience. Yes, you can do this without the aid of a guide as there are several stations along the walk with assisted audio, however the tour guide was able to add another dimension by responding to questions with additional detail.

Excellent tour

The meeting place was easy to find and very well organised. It's then only a short walk to the Acropolis entrance. Our guide was very friendly and approachable and made the tour really interesting and did his best to find shady spots whenever he could. He was also very consiencous about everyone's safety, making sure everyone had a bottle of water before we left and pointing out areas that were particularly uneven or slippery.

Charlotte_M, Jul 2026

So glad we chose this...

So glad we chose this option for our visit to the Acropolis! The crowds that had gathered by the time we were leaving made us feel very fortunate that we'd had the opportunity to get there early. Our guide Dionysus was great, particularly appreciated that he always made sure we were in the shade when he stopped to talk! We did this tour with a four year old and a baby and it was just the right length to avoid them getting too bored.
