Vicky was an exceptional guide. I liked that we saw the Museum before actually going to the Acropolis. It was a spectacular tour.
Very informative and interesting. Eat pieces worked very well. Guise was very nice and knew her stuff
Plenty of walking which could be slippery when raining but well worth doing. We had atrocious conditions with incessant rain but so glad we completed the tour. Our guide was excellent spoke good English and had good knowledge of the area
From beginning to end, Vicki had us entertained, engaged, enlightened and educated. She was so knowledgeable and easy to listen to.
She was a lovely person to spend the morning with and we can’t imagine it being one ounce better. Loved it and would highly recommend the tour.
We have Vicky as our guide. She's awesome. Definitely take this tour as it's worth it. There's thousands of people visiting both the site & museum, it really help when you can skip the line with purchased tickets.
This was so worth it. Skipped the lines, felt like a class A guest. Our guide was top notch and so informative. Had a lovely time, even in the rain!
I loved that the tickets were included so we didn't have to hassle with getting them and our guide was very conscientious about making sure everyone was keeping up with the group. She really brought the acropolis to life with its history and stories. She was also instrumental in taking us through the museum and helping us see how the Parthenon actually looked. Highly recommend.
Tour guide was informative and very friendly. Plan on a lot of walking. We did 13,000 steps but it was paced nicely.
An excellent tour with Marie! The history and passion in which she gave us was incredible! We were not rushed and she stopped along the way as we ascended the Acropolis.
Stairs but not strenuous. Interesting historical stories given. Guide ensured set up for the best pictures.
Great tour of the Acropolis museum and the Acropolis/ our guide was so knowledgeable and helpful. Wonderful!
Do not wear sandles. Wear non-slip closed toe shoes. Rocks are slippery.
Explore the entire hilltop after being released by the tour guide.
Take lots of pictures.
Tour required significant climbing on steep surfaces that were slick. Very dangerous if the surfaces are wet.
We came in October trying to avoid the crowds. It didn’t don’t work.
Price was too high for the value delivered
This tour was a bucket list for us. It met and exceeded my expectations. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience better. Stopping along the way and describing the history as we climbed the acropolis made this tour not seemed rushed. The tour of the museum was also great and the explanations from our guide gave us a wonderful insight to all the displays. I would highly recommend this group to tour the Acropolis and Museum.
Pedros was completely wonderful: very, knowledgeable, very clear, friendly, efficient, responsive. We learned a lot, enjoyed every minute, and highly recommend this tour and our guide.
It was very good. Our guide Floso was easy to understand and she gave us much information about the Acropolis etc.
Experience was great. Our tour guide is very passionate about his culture and it comes through. Would recommend!
The tour guide was not informative. Her narrative rarely had a point and she rambled without pause. She lacked historical context.
Our tour guide was very prompt. She started on time. She was knowledgeable and had pride in her country. She was open to questions, while keeping us on schedule without rushing us. She was patient with our group members without tickets and helped others get lockers while in the museum. She had a good mix of modern and ancient history.
We had a fabulous guide. Lots of steps and walking
I would suggest going early. It was warm at 9 am!
Host was awesome. Small group and she (Effie) took care of everyone and was extremely knowledgeable and personable.
Maria, our guide was intelligent, thorough and fun. Touring the Acropolis is a must see stop in Athens. Worth every step up the hill to the Parthenon! Breath-taking!
Superb day at the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Our guide was excellent!! Seeing the Parthenon up close exceeded our expectations!!
Very well organized tour, great pacing, must do in Athens. Our guide Vicki was fantastic! Highly recommend.
George was a decent tour guide. There were moments when the tour was boring but it may simply be the topic and not the guide. Overall, it was ok, not what I expected but informative nonetheless.
Akis was fantastic. Private tour in a spotless Mercedes van, and he clearly knows the island's history inside out. Lots of great information plus local recommendations throughout. Highly recommend.
A wonderful way to experience the sites of Greece. Our tour guide, Eva, was wonderful. She was thorough, excellent at keeping our group together and knew the perfect spots to stand for ideal photo opportunities, even with the crowds. Highly recommend as it was informative and a truly enjoyable way to see Athens for the first time. Definitely book as early in the day as possible.
Outstanding tour. Our guide was tremendous. With deep understanding and vast knowledge of history he brought the acropolis to life. Three hours flew by. It was a deeply touching experience.
It was kind of a fast paced tour with lots of information coming out you. It was sort of hard to understand. One thing to not is the Acropolis gets VERY packed.
Excellent tour and guide - Frosso was fantastic, so knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend - it was an amazing experience.
