Tabitha_A, Oct 2026

Amazing guide

Our guide was absolutely excellent The other travellers on tour, should have been the better prepared (water, toilet etc….) We spent more time getting water and waiting at toilets and the likes, than at the Parthenon.

Ronald_E, Oct 2026

Great Tour with Michael G.

Micheal G was a very well informed guide and made the whole experience fun. Lots of rest stops on the way up to the Parthenon filled with good information.

A must for all visitors to Athens

This a great way to understand the Acropolis and Parthenon which are the heart of Athens. Our guide walked is up slowly and explained everything on the way. Everyone who visits Athens needs to do this tour.

This is the Only way to see the Acropolis!!

Our guide was Sophia and she was fabulous!! Extremely knowledgeable and definitely knew the places to hit at the right times. Going early was the way to go and definitely a cheat code. We got to the top early before the crowd and when we were going back down the horde of people were headed up. Having the guide was the way to go, providing the history, context, and so much information. Can’t imagine going to see the Acropolis and Parthenon without it.

An incredible evening with Magda

Our guide Magda was amazing. She took the time to tell us stories which explained the history of Acropolis and the Parthenon so that we could understand what it is we were looking at. The site is incredible and the views from the top were breath taking. She also managed to stay away from the crowds and maneuvered her way to the best viewing areas. Thank you so much .. you were amazing.

His vast knowledge of Greek history and the Acropolis transported me back in time and I felt like I was living it! He is truly an asset to you.
