Horrible experience. Completely unprofessional and absolutely not worth the money.

GraceFreedom, May 2026

We booked a premium Acropolis tour in Athens, expecting a serious, well-organised and informative experience at one of the most important historical sites in the world. Instead, it was a complete disaster. The day before, we tried several times to call the agency to confirm the meeting point. Nobody answered. On the day of the tour, we arrived at the Acropolis and there was nobody there for us. We called and called until someone finally answered and admitted they had forgotten about our tour. Instead of organising the premium tour we had booked, they simply added us onto another tour that had already started 20 minutes earlier. We missed the beginning completely and were just thrown into an existing group as if our booking did not matter. The guide was extremely disappointing. On top of this, he was the only guide without earplugs/microphone! What a con! For a site as important as the Acropolis, there was almost no real explanation of Greek history, mythology, the gods, the origins of the monument, or its cultural significance. The information was poor, shallow, and mostly irrelevant. It honestly felt like a waste of time. The group was also chaotic, with children constantly interrupting and talking nonsense with the guide, making it impossible to enjoy or learn anything. After around 45 minutes of this terrible experience, we gave up and left to visit the Acropolis by ourselves. This was our first time in Athens and possibly our only chance to visit the Acropolis. What should have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience was completely ruined by this company’s lack of professionalism, organisation, and basic customer care. Afterwards, I contacted the agency and requested a 50% refund, which was more than reasonable considering what happened. They did not even respond. Horrible experience. Disorganised, disrespectful, and a complete waste of money. I would strongly advise people to avoid this company.

Fantastic tour.

This small tour was absolutely amazing tour. Dimitris was a wonderful guide - friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. Would highly recommend the tour.

Fantastic opportunity to see the Acropolis area and hear about its history directly from an expert guide and one who is deeply invested in the importance of this as the cradle of democracy.

Incredible Acropolis experience

A very professional (PhD in archaeology) and knowledgeable guide, it was a pleasure to have this tour. I love when attention is paid to details and subtleties, and this tour was definiely beyond my expectations - I have learnt so many historical facts, interconnections with the present, interesting details about Acropolis! Thanks a lot!

I was impressed by Michael's archaeology background and the depth of knowledge he brings to Greece’s history. He’s articulate, engaging, and clearly passionate about what he does. I’d highly recommend connecting with him if you’re looking for an insightful cultural experience.
