What are people saying about Parthenon

Deb_W, Oct 2026

Amazing Athens

The Acropolis/Parthenon tour is amazing but fairly strenuous. Well worth the effort. Our driver/guide was very informative and helpful.

Stephen_C, Oct 2026

This is a well fashioned tour. These people know what they’re doing. Highly recommended.

Both my wife and I said touring the Acropolis/Parthenon was so much more interesting and easier with a guide, especially with the excellent, knowledgeable Aigli! She fashioned the tour to avoid the most crowded areas and times and gave us expert insight to what we were seeing. We did not dawdle as there was much to see. Comfortable shoes are a must and the supplied audio assistance ear phones helped immensely. There were opportunities for breaks.

Unmissable tour!

It was a great tour.. absolutely unmissable. We were a mixed group of 2 teens and 4 48+ not very fit adults. Had read about the climb being quite hard so was a bit apprehensive. But our walk was evenly paced with lots of pauses so didn't have any issue in climbing upto Parthenon. Also, Victor is a very engaging guide.. made the tour interesting and informative for all of us.

Great time

Great tour! Very organized and Ellie was wonderful!! We did both the Parthenon and museum combo. It was four hours well spent!

Jayme_A, Sept 2026

This is the Only way to see the Acropolis!!

Our guide was Sophia and she was fabulous!! Extremely knowledgeable and definitely knew the places to hit at the right times. Going early was the way to go and definitely a cheat code. We got to the top early before the crowd and when we were going back down the horde of people were headed up. Having the guide was the way to go, providing the history, context, and so much information. Can’t imagine going to see the Acropolis and Parthenon without it.

Let Orestis show you the Acropolis! You won’t be disappointed

Orestis was the Best guide I have ever had! So knowledgeable, kept safety first and very very good sense of humor! His vast knowledge of Greek history and the Acropolis transported me back in time and I felt like I was living it! He is truly an asset to you. The ladies at your office were also pleasant and efficient!
