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.
Wonderful tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon and the museum! We enjoyed our tour guides energy and insight as well as her well timed photo stops
Great tour great guide. Few folks could not manage the uneven terrain and inclines / declines. I’d suggest you post that this walk has rough terrain.
Great tour to a very busy Acropolis. Vicki was very enthusiastic and professional and gave context to the Acropolis and its place in Athens culture today as well as in the past.
Our guide was very knowledgeable, helpful and spoke clearly for us to understand. Our group was small allowing us to spend less time fighting the crowds.
Our tour guide was knowledgeable and in depth about the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Excellent!! Would highly recommend!
Personable and knowledgeable staff… speaks great English! Fast paced.. covered ruins! Wear tennis shoes due to uneven terrain
Bring your best walking shoes. Ancient stairmaster! Great time! Lot of climbing and walking. Be careful walking near the parthanon, saw so many people fall and hurt themselves. Other than that it was amazing. So much to take in. Our guide Marie was so knowledgeable and kind. Wish we had two days to spend time in museum. It was just overload at a certain point.
It was an amazing experience. It was so informative. Our guide, Elena shared so many facts. Her pride and love of the Acropolis was obvious!
Enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Acropolis Museum is not to be missed as World Class Collrcton and architectural marvel.
Very good tour! Highly recommend. Maria was a fantastic guide and a wealth of information. We learned so much from her.
Our tour guide made this experience amazing for us. She was extremely knowledgeable and she had a great personality that made everything exciting and memorable.
Visiting from the US and chose this tour for our family. I am always concerned when booking and paying ahead of the tour, but we were very happy with the tour of the Acropolis and museum. Our tour guide, Frozzo (but you can call her Frozen 🤣), was knowledgeable and delivered the information perfectly. We ascended the site at and easy to moderate pace. My brother in law, who is at a slower pace, was able to ascend with little problems. The crowd of people gave him time to stop and recover a little before moving forward. While viewing the amazing site, she told us the history and the importance of what we were touring. She was able to get us all past the unusually long line of people and into the museum. The museum is absolutely fascinating and she added information that was easy to understand and appreciate.
You won’t be disappointed in this tour. Wear durable and comfortable walking shoes or athletic shoes. Check the weather for how to dress. Our day was overcast, cool and windy, which I willl take over hot and sunny!
A great experience! The tour guide was very knowledgeable. She made sure everyone was together and did a wonderful job.
Very informative and the guide was accommodating. Great experience. The different insights were delivered in an easy to understand manner.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Having the headphones was extremely helpful. After seeing the crowds I was happy to have the skip the line pass. We did the museum first and that was helpful to see models and have history before going up to see the Parthenon and surrounding areas.
Excellent tour!! Well paced, extremely knowledgeable! Guide knew where to stop for great photo ops and how to navigate the crowds. Book first tour of the day. The tour through the museum was equally great! Great value too for the experiences!
The guide explained all the important info. She was kind, and knowledgeable. Even in the rain and wind she made it interesting. Ask for Maria as she is the best. We have toured the acropolis before but this was by far the best. Make sure you include the acropolis museum. It’s a must even if you don’t enjoy museums
Excellent knowledgeable guide and outstanding venue. Very well organized guide. Ear listening devise included with tour booking made information very clear.
