Acropolis & Acora - feel like ancient times

Tacie_F, Aug 2026

This was an excellent tour with a fabulous lesson in history that made it feel like we were in ancient times. Our guide Lydia was fabulous! At a number of places on the Acropolis and the Agora she showed us photographs of the ruins as they exist now and then with a clear overlay with a painting of what the buildings used to look like. We had been up all night on a flight and the tour was late afternoon, yet she made it so interesting and enjoyable that the 3 hours flew by even in 96 degree F or 38 C heat and sun. Highly recommend!! Thank you Lydia.
