Ours was a group of 20 people. Not as small as anticipated.
Our guide Naiobe was excellent . we learned so much . it made the site really come to life having her there
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.
Frosos was a great guide. She knew the history and was able to convey it a way that we all understood. She also had a great sense of humour.
Our tour guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and lots of fun. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring a jacket. This is in October and it was very windy on the Acropolis.
Our guide was so incredibly informed, she had a wonderful sense of humor and she was so cute and sweet! Definitely recommend having a guide because everything is in ruins (duh) or written in Greek. We got a lot of info we never would’ve gotten without her.
10/10 experience, highly recommend! Petros was an amazing guide, incredibly attentive and helpful with everyone’s needs and questions throughout the tour!
Petros was an entertaining, fun, and informative guide! He deftly navigated our group through the busy crowd with an excellent mix of information and humor.
Worth the money to take the tour makes the experience much better. Our guide was very knowledgable about all that we saw
Informative and friendly guide, everything well managed, started on time and met our expectations, thank you
Excellent! The guide Froseena was knowledgeable and informative! Staple experience in Athens! Highly recommended.
The monuments were beautiful in the history is captivating. Eva was a very good guide, she was incredibly knowledgeable.
Our guide was amazing- very knowledgable and took time to explain the history. Took us down paths where we could really experience the Acropolis and its sights. 5 stars
Vicki (Vasiliki) was our tour guide and she was amazing! She staged our walk up to the top of the Acropolis to keep us in the shade as much as possible, and went slowly enough so that no one was having difficulty keeping up with the group. Her audio equipment worked efficiently and she had an incredible knowledge of everything!
Excellent tour and Frosso was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgable and she set the perfect cadence for the tour. Highly recommend.
This was a wonderful tour. Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed it. Highly recommend.
What made our experience was our guide Petros. Anyone can get a ticket and a recorded headset but it was his knowledge and personality that made it so enjoyable.
We had a wonderful tour of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece! Our tour guide was fantastic—very organized, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable. She provided a wealth of interesting information about the history and significance of the Acropolis, while also making the experience engaging and enjoyable.
The pace of the tour up the hill was perfect, allowing us to take our time, enjoy the incredible views, and fully appreciate the experience without feeling rushed. She was very attentive to our needs and made sure everyone was comfortable along the way.
We truly appreciated her expertise, professionalism, and warm personality. She made our visit to the Acropolis memorable and gave us a much deeper appreciation for this incredible historic site. We highly recommend this tour and our wonderful guide!
Overall the tour was good. Our guide was friendly and kept things moving at a decent pace despite the crowds.
The acropolis was very crowded with many tour groups up a very steep hill on a very hot day. Our guide had us walk up a sidewalk and enter in a way that was not strenuous at all, a very comfortable walk. Our group was small and she kept us together while giving some free time to explore and take pictures. We never felt overwhelmed by the crowds at all. She knew so much about the history of the area and Greece and was an excellent communicator, friendly, funny and smart.
The meeting place was very very very confusing almost everyone was late because they were unclear about the meeting spot. I also feel it should be labeled as strenuous
The tour was great. Highly recommend the early morning option mine was 8:00. Beat the heat and some of the crowds. The views were spectacular and again, do the early morning to beat some of the heat and crowds!
Tour guide EVA was great. Very knowledgeable and kind. Answered many questions that I had and was a pleasure.
Only criticism is that I didn’t realize that I didn’t book the tour with the museum visit included, so I was literally dropped off at the entry to the museum. If I knew it was all one group, I would’ve happily paid extra to join as the rest of my group continued to the museum and it was sort of awkward to be left there.
Great tour and our guide was fabulous! She was knowledgeable and also allowed us some free time to look around.
I was running a few minutes behind - and understandably the tour started and I wasn’t able running around looking for the meeting place but wasn’t clear (no signage)
I wasn’t able to communicate with my host, Jessica in a timely manner as the viator app kept crashing and the metro had no reception.
Note to tour company - give us the tickets in advance so if we miss the group/ then we can still do the self guided tour ourselves; instead ended up buying another ticket for the next slot
Great tour especially our guide Frosso . She was very knowledgeable and took great care of us, because was very hot and she put us in the shade as much as possible. Would recommend
Ability to walk, climb steps, cobble stone parhs, elevation is a must. We had a 8:00AM start and that was a blessing as the temperature climbed rapidly.
Eva was a great guide. Kept the group moving while giving us a depth of information and answering all questions.
Wear good walking shoes, sun glasses, be able to walk uphill for a long distance, and bring sunscreen on a sunny day.
An amazing introduction and exploration of the Parthenon and the Acropolis. Ava's enthusiasm and knowledge made the huge crowds disappear. She was also great at finding perfect camera spots and places in the shade on a hot afternoon. Very high recommendation!
Maria was great. She’s a history teacher so we got lots of information but not too much! Visited the most important spots.
Your guide makes or breaks this experience. Frosso was extraordinary! Knew her stuff. Communicated clearly. Told great stories to make it all come to life. Thank you!!!
