Acropolis tour

We were at the Parthenon and Acropolis 11 years ago and it was just as nice this time but the tour guide was much more experience and we learned about things that we didn’t know so it was a great day and a lot of walking which was wonderful

This is a well fashioned tour. These people know what they’re doing. Highly recommended.

Both my wife and I said touring the Acropolis/Parthenon was so much more interesting and easier with a guide, especially with the excellent, knowledgeable Aigli! She fashioned the tour to avoid the most crowded areas and times and gave us expert insight to what we were seeing. We did not dawdle as there was much to see. Comfortable shoes are a must and the supplied audio assistance ear phones helped immensely. There were opportunities for breaks.

Unmissable tour!

It was a great tour.. absolutely unmissable. We were a mixed group of 2 teens and 4 48+ not very fit adults. Had read about the climb being quite hard so was a bit apprehensive. But our walk was evenly paced with lots of pauses so didn't have any issue in climbing upto Parthenon. Also, Victor is a very engaging guide.. made the tour interesting and informative for all of us.

Very Happy

Wonderful tour encompassing history and hitting the highlights by private guide and car. Clean, safe. Our kind guide, Panos, took exceptional care of both my friend and me. It was very cold and windy and he even let me borrow his coat to climb to top of Acropolis on my own. Very grateful. I am 70. It was exhilarating and so happy to have chosen Viator again. They are reliable and I know it will be a good experience.

An excellent experience with Viator in Athens

Viator's office on-site was flexible and accommodating. The audio system worked well. Our guide Fay was excellent. She was knowledgeable and well-prepared. We enjoyed especially her retelling of the myths which provide the backstory to the history of the Acropolis and the adjacent temples on the way up. Fay also paid attention to the safety of her group--where to watch out for slippery stones and so on. We learned a lot from her and enjoyed her personality as well.
