Acropolis and Parthenon Guided Walking Tour

Peter_B, Oct 2026

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.

Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon and Acropolis Museum Guided Tour

Eleonora_d, Oct 2026

Timeless Parthenon

The Parthenon has an unparalleled majesty. It is in constant ascension. The fragility imparted by its ages and different uses makes it ethereal, as if made by lace. Time added artistry to this spiritual construction of prayer, and it tells infinite, wordless stories, that are stored in in one's psyche as we share the psyche of humanity

Acropolis monuments & Parthenon Walking Tour with Optional Acropolis Museum

Vickie_H, Oct 2026

Ask for John. Best you will find.

John The Excavationer (?) was incredible. One of the best we’ve ever had … period. Enthusiastic and his knowledge and his communication skills were phenomenal. Not to mention entertaining. I can’t tell you how many times we chuckled and found ourselves laughing out loud. He’s a keeper. We highly recommend. We will be back.

Greek Food Walking Tour in Athens

John_D, Oct 2026

Food tour - don't go hungry!

Peter gave a fantastic food tour of Athens! Often in towns you've never visited, finding quality food is difficult. Walking around or looking online at reviews, they are appear the same. "We're the best!!!" But with Peter, we have a food tour guide that really knew the best locally authentic food to try. It was all wonderful! And he was a delight as a human and guide. Highly recommend.

Athens All Included: Acropolis and Museum Guided Tour with Ticket

Kari_M, Oct 2026

Nice and easy

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.

Athens Acropolis and Parthenon Walking Tour

Andrew_K, Oct 2026

Greek word for “good time” = Acropolis walking tour 😁

Nicoletta was a wonderful guide. Think her teaching experience definitely helped 🙂. Even when asked about any item in the museum she had knowledge and an answer. There was a bit of climbing/steps to the top but she stopped to point out diff sights along the way which made the climb easier.

Athens: Meteora Monasteries Tour, Caves, Beachfront Stops & Lunch

Carolyn_S, Oct 2026

Stunning Meteora Monasteries

WOW, the Meteora Monasteries were amazing with breathtaking views! This was a very long tour and day from Athens but so worth it! Our tour guide in Meteora was fantastic!! I am so sorry I forgot her name it is not reflective of her, but my old memory!! Plus we had lots of excursions/guides on our 30 day trip. Our guide had a fabulous personality, was very knowledgeable of the area & Monasteries plus she had a great love for cats & 1 dog...thank you for caring!!! Good luck with your future endeavors. The 2 guys ( bus driver & escort) for our long drive could have been friendlier. It would have been nice if we had some commentary on our drive to Meteora...ie areas we were passing, history of Athens etc. It was disorganized at the bus pick up location in Athens. Lots of buses, people and know one knew where to line up and which bus to go on...lots of confusion at the start! You need proper guides calling out what is going on not just bus drives that can't public speak. The beachfront stop for food/coffee (breaky & dinner) is a bit of a gong show as there are lots of people on the excursions. The restaurant along the water was lovely and the food is good. The staff do their best to serve you with such an influx of people all at once. Buy the time we arrived & bought our coffee / croissant it was pretty much time to leave. I do not like the pre order system for our meals as the wifi was spotty and frustrating to use. We were kicked out of the app a few times and had to keep trying till it worked. I would recommend this excursion as the Monestaries are something to truly experience, WOW!!

Athens: Guided Tour of Acropolis and Parthenon Tickets Included

Donna_S, Oct 2026

Great Acropolis Tour

Unfortunately we got a bit lost getting to the meeting point, but our your guide waited for us. Our guide was exceptional. Her beautiful voice and her knowledge of the ruins was great. I wish I had a recording of it. She stopped quite often to give us all time to catch our breath telling us history at every turn. I would highly recommend this tour.

All Day Cruise -3 Islands to Agistri,Moni, Aegina with lunch and drinks included

David_H, Sep 2026

Worth it

My wife and I booked this trip after comparing other similar trips and chose this one based on the previous reviews. Previous travelers did not disappoint. The boat was excellent and in great condition. The food was some of the best in Athens so far. The crew was enjoyable and had very clear communication. The islands were very nice and the swimming spots were also excellent. Totally worth taking a day trip. Would do this again.
