The guide — Nicholas — was superb, as expected, since we did choose the tour based on his reviews. Very friendly and approachable, especially for the kids and teens! In the museum — the guide was available only for our family! The next day we visited the National Archeological Museum without a guide and spotted the great difference.

Thank you Sasa for your positive comments! All the best for you and your lovely family.

We had an amazing time at Acropolis with our guide, Nicholas! He took the time we needed to get to the top, took many beautiful pictures of us and was so pleasant and knowledgeable! He spent from 9:15 am- 2 pm with us, helping us up and staying with us the whole time!!

Nicos was a 5 star guide who exceeded our expectations. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour so memorable. He was attentive to all our needs and made sure we had plenty of time for photos and drink breaks - cannot recommend him and the tour enough

We had a wonderful experience with our tour. We were able to skip the line for both the Acropolis and the museum, making the most of our time. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about the subject matter. He wanted to stick around and answer questions as long as we had them. The stories told helped to bring the ancient ruins to life. Really a great experience, would recommend this team to anyone who asks!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you Tom! Your words are more than just encouraging.

Our second guided tour with this firm, this time with our extended family, we were fortunate to have Nickolas as our guide again (some 4 years after our last tour). His passion and knowledge was amazing, this was an English speaking tour, his english perfect. Plenty of stops for pics too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear Tony, we are truly grateful to you for taking this tour for a second time and for writing such a wonderful review! Greetings to all four of you!

Our tour guide exceeded our expectations and the tour was great. He paced the tour so we were not engulfed with crowds we would never have enjoyed our Acropolis trip as much without him.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Dear Carolee, we are so happy for your review and even happier that you enjoyed your Acropolis and Acropolis Museum Tour. Reviews like yours give us strength to carry on....

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Mr Plato. Wanted a small group tour and it ended up being private just for my husband and I. Mr Plato was entertaining and gave great in depth knowledge about the Acropolis, Parthenon, word origins, Gods, and myths as he walked us around. He also showed us great spots for photos and took many of us where it looks like we were the only people there! The second part of the tour was in the Acoropolis museum and he highlighted and explained many of the artifacts for us. A memorable day and a great way to see the sites. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thank you, Michele, for your encouraging and inspiring review!! Our guides really enjoy taking pictures, and believe me, they surely know where all the good spots are..
Kind Regards

Tour guide was nice, but barely told us anything about the acropolis, he was more interested in hearing where we were from than telling us about Greek culture and the acropolis. I was listening to the other guides and they really knew their stuff, telling their group stories and very interesting information. So this tour is way too expensive (it doesn’t even include entrance) for what you get. You would be better off hiring a certified tour guide at the entrance of the acropolis is cheaper and probably more interesting.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Dear guest, thank you for your review. We are honestly very sorry that you didn't like the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum Tour. Your guide, like all our guides, was a certified tour guide with a degree in history and archaeology. So, it sounds strange that 'he barely told you anything about the Acropolis and that he was hearing...'
However, we are going to take your review into serious consideration.
Kind Regards
Mister Plato
Eric_D, Apr 2022
Our guide, Nikos, was truly outstanding. We highly recommend this tour. It is a must! We are a family of four (kids 12 and 9). Having the guide provide historical context and fun stories along the way really enhanced the experience. We highly recommend this when you go to the Acropolis.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Dear Eric, we highly appreciate your review and your positive comments about the tour and our guide. Nikos is sending his warmest regards to all of you, especially to Max and Ellie.

This was a fantastic experience. Luckily for me, no one else signed up for the same tour (I don't know why, either, as I made sure to get the early tour so that I would be the heat), so I got the guide all to myself. It was like having a friend walk and talk me through the entire experience. He took me to the spots he knew to be best for pictures so that he could take my picture. He was happy to make all sorts of recommendations to me and take me to a neighborhood and show me where to find good souvlaki. It couldn't have been better.
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Hi Neil, thank you very much for your feedback. We are really happy that you enjoyed your tour and the time you spent with our guide. We hope to see you again ...!

Le guide était super, je le recommande, je ne suis pas parfaite bilingue et j'ai tout compris 😅, les autres membres du groupe n'ont pas voulu faire la visite du musée, du coup j'ai eu droit à une visite privé !
En plus de guide, il propose de vous prendre en photo (on étais un petit groupe)
Bref, j'ai passé une superbe journée!
MERCI 😁
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Hi Aude, merci beaucoup for your nice review! We really appreciate it and we can' t be nothing else than happy that you had a great time on your tour.
