Theodore was very knowledgeable and explained everything very well! He did a great job engaging the kids!

Had a tour of the Acropolis today with Dimitri and it was excellent. We felt he enjoyed giving the tour as much as we enjoyed everything we learned about the Acropolis, the surrounding Athens and Greek history. Communication was good, confirming the the time and location the evening prior. We got a little lost on the way and he called me via What's App as soon as we were late and helped us reach the meeting spot, about 100 meters away. Overall terrific experience. Thanks.

Our guide, Demetrius was spectacular. Perfect pace, very knowledgeable and friendly and always knew how to find the shade. His brother, Michael was also great with communication. Highly recommend!

Iris our tour guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable , a great sense of humour and friendly. It was wonderful being in a small group.

Definitely recommend this tour and our guide Vaggelis! He is an historian with tremendous knowledge of the Acropolis and Parthenon. We learned great deal that we would not have come to know on our own.

The tour was amazing. Janus was a very knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the experience although we almost didn’t get to go. Our tour was on Sunday at 9am. We left our hotel at 8:35 to what should have been. 10 minute walk. Our directions were not good and we spent 45 minutes trying to locate the meeting point walking 2.5 miles. We contacted Viator and the tour operator and we were allowed to go on the tour at 8am on Monday. We did have to repurchase the tickets(€30 per person) which was in top of what we had already paid (€104) BUT we didn’t lose this opportunity! We greatly appreciate the tour operator making a ONE time exception to accommodate us.

We had an AMAZING time on this tour! Elizabeth was our guide— she’s phenomenal. She’s an archeologist by trade so she was able to offer a unique perspective. The best part is she was really funny and was able to share really interesting stories along the way. We learned so much about Greek history. We enjoyed every minute of this tour! Highly recommend!

We booked a premium Acropolis tour in Athens, expecting a serious, well-organised and informative experience at one of the most important historical sites in the world. Instead, it was a complete disaster.
The day before, we tried several times to call the agency to confirm the meeting point. Nobody answered. On the day of the tour, we arrived at the Acropolis and there was nobody there for us. We called and called until someone finally answered and admitted they had forgotten about our tour.
Instead of organising the premium tour we had booked, they simply added us onto another tour that had already started 20 minutes earlier. We missed the beginning completely and were just thrown into an existing group as if our booking did not matter.
The guide was extremely disappointing. On top of this, he was the only guide without earplugs/microphone! What a con! For a site as important as the Acropolis, there was almost no real explanation of Greek history, mythology, the gods, the origins of the monument, or its cultural significance. The information was poor, shallow, and mostly irrelevant. It honestly felt like a waste of time.
The group was also chaotic, with children constantly interrupting and talking nonsense with the guide, making it impossible to enjoy or learn anything. After around 45 minutes of this terrible experience, we gave up and left to visit the Acropolis by ourselves.
This was our first time in Athens and possibly our only chance to visit the Acropolis. What should have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience was completely ruined by this company’s lack of professionalism, organisation, and basic customer care.
Afterwards, I contacted the agency and requested a 50% refund, which was more than reasonable considering what happened. They did not even respond.
Horrible experience. Disorganised, disrespectful, and a complete waste of money. I would strongly advise people to avoid this company.

This small tour was absolutely amazing tour. Dimitris was a wonderful guide - friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. Would highly recommend the tour.

Fantastic opportunity to see the Acropolis area and hear about its history directly from an expert guide and one who is deeply invested in the importance of this as the cradle of democracy.

Good service with professional tour guide, one of the best traveling experiences in Greece, highly recommended!

A very professional (PhD in archaeology) and knowledgeable guide, it was a pleasure to have this tour. I love when attention is paid to details and subtleties, and this tour was definiely beyond my expectations - I have learnt so many historical facts, interconnections with the present, interesting details about Acropolis! Thanks a lot!

I was impressed by Michael's archaeology background and the depth of knowledge he brings to Greece’s history. He’s articulate, engaging, and clearly passionate about what he does. I’d highly recommend connecting with him if you’re looking for an insightful cultural experience.
