What are people saying about Parthenon

Pat_C, Apr 2026

Great tour of the Acropolis & Pantheon

Dorina was an excellent & knowledgeable tour guide. She was considerate & looked after the group. She negotiated the crowds for a group & gave us lots of pictures & thoughts going back to ancient times. The tour of the museum was excellent as she took us to the important parts that related back to our tour of the Acropolis & the Parthenon

Warren_C, May 2026

Incredible History

Such a wonderful tour - the history of this place helps you understand what creative and industrial people created the Acropolis and Parthenon. Amazing how the Romans mainly added to it rather than than destroy it but how destructive later invaders were…. Our guide was very knowledgeable and thorough and got us through on time with no hassles. We had time to relax and take in the views after the trip tour and casually stroll down to Monastraki.
