    Perfect, highly recommend!

    Leo_M, Jul 2026
    Evangelos was the perfect tour guide. I travelled with my dad, and neither of us knew anything about the Acropolis beforehand. The tour was very well structured, providing both the general historical background and detailed insights into all the major landmarks on the Acropolis hill. Evangelos took the time to answer every single question we had, and his depth of knowledge was truly impressive. We will keep both this tour and Evangelos in fond memory, and we highly recommend booking this experience to everyone!

    Dear Leo, thank you so much for your very warm feedback! I enjoyed spending the morning with you and your father, and I appreciated your company. Thank you for placing your trust in me. All the best!

    Expert tour of Acropolis and Museum

    Amy_W, Jun 2026
    Our guide, Angelo, is the best! He made sure we got a complete history, while also making sure we had plenty of water, shade whenever possible, and photo opportunities. He's quite an expert! It's probably best suited for adults, as we both were. Children may not find it so interesting.

    Dear Amy, thank you for joining the tour and for your kind and generous feedback! I always do my best to keep my guests satisfied. Please note that the tours I provide are private, allowing them to adapt to my guests' profiles. Consequently, when children attend, I focus more on mythology to make the experience more interesting for them. Kind regards, Angelo.

    Highly recommend!

    This was a great way to see the Acropolis and Parthenon! Evangelos was excellent. Kind. Knowledgeable. And patient! We learned so much. And it was amazing to end the tour in the Acropolis museum after having just visited the ancient site. Well worth it. Highly recommend. Thank you Evangelos!

    Dear Elaine, thank you for your kind feedback. It was a great pleasure to meet you and Priya and spend my morning with you. I have enjoyed your company a lot. Kind regards, Angelo

    top experience

    Evangelos was a superb guide! We booked 1.5h visit of the acropolis, with a private tour. He explained and guided us through all the acropolis site, with his expert views and knowledge of the site. He is kind and fun, never boring. He also took us wonderful pictures whenever I wanted. The tour I booked was 1.5 h but he remained with us for almost 2.5 h. We enjoyed our private experience!

    Bringing rich history to life.

    Jeremy_K, Apr 2026
    I have to admit that I do not know much about ancient Athenian history and Greek mythology. Angelos did a splendid job patiently explaining and bringing the magnificent artifacts and monuments to life. He interacted well with children (10 and 8 yrs) to keep them engaged during the 4 hours we were together. Thank you Angelos for a wonderful day.

    We had a great experience with Angelo on our tour of the Acropolis. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Though it was quite chilly on our January visit, it made for an uncrowded, unhurried and very memorable experience. We highly recommend Angelo as your guide.

    An Exceptional Acropolis Experience With Angel

    Christie_C, Aug 2025
    Our tour with Angel was one of the highlights of our trip to Athens. His experience as a field archaeologist and deep knowledge of ancient history truly shine through in every explanation. What made the experience even more enjoyable was his warm personality, he welcomed every question and answered with insight and enthusiasm. Angel brought the ruins to life, making the Acropolis and the museum not just a site to see, but a story to experience. On top of it all, he’s also a great photographer. Highly recommend!

    Acropolis in depth - ideal.for the curious

    Marcelle_P, May 2025
    Our guide Angel was wonderful. He patiently answered our questions and was genuinely happy we asked so many. We enjoyed the variety and depth of information he provided. He also took good care of us (one of us disabled and the other seriously jetlagged). This was a déightful Tour!

    Response from Host, May 2025
