Walk up to Parthenon is very strenuous. Radios were not as effective as the radios we used for all Viking tours during the week.

John the Archeologist was Amazing!

Amazing tour! John the archeologist was so knowledgeable about the Acropolis and Parthenon. It felt like we were living the true story of the creation of one of the Greece’s most prized possessions. Not only did he give us information that we never would have expected to hear, he was able to answer our random art questions as well. Well done we recommend John as your choice of tour guides. He made the tour educational with a humorous twist.

Thank you so much for our...

Thank you so much for our tour, it was wonderful! The Parthenon is such a historic place and the information and spots our tour guide told and showed us was a perfect complement for it. You can tell he genuinely cared about the history he was speaking about and wanted us all to be involved in our experience. Whenever we come back in the future we will definitely go back for another tour with this company, they care greatly for their guests and want them to have an incredible experience!

An Unforgettable Adventure

What a GREAT way to see the Acropolis and Parthenon, and so much more! Doing the early tour was awesome because we were able to enjoy a lot without the swarming crowds. Our tour guide was so kind, enthusiastic, and knowledgable, and I LOVED that we had headsets so we could hear her without being right next to her. I HIGHLY recommend this experience!

Amazing tour, our guide Lydia is exceptional!

The highlight of our Greece trip is probably this Acropolis tour that includes the museum visit. The tour started promptly and our guide Lydia is amazing. She is very knowledgeable, knows the best spot to take pictures, remembers all the historical information, had amazing situational awareness, being cautious about the kids on tour and ensuring safety of her guests proactively reminding us to hydrate and watch our steps. My young kids enjoyed the museum tour because of Lydia.
