The Acropoilis and Highlights of Ancient Athens with Outstanding Guides

Stephen_W, Mar 2026

Spending time with skilled guides visiting the Acropolis and others of the major historical sites in Athens is a wonderful experience. Guides are necessary to strengthen and deepen the experience. We were fortunate to have two outstanding guides. Theo, with whom we had been on a tour previously, to Sounion, arranged our tour and accompanied us to all of the sites other than the Acropolis (see below). He is a truly wonderful guide and a delightful person -- he has a deep knowledge of and passion for Greek history, mythology, and language; and an engaging personality that makes each tour a memorable experience. Gari, who was our guide for the Acropolis, is also a terrific guide, very engaging and knowledgeable with a clear love for what she discussed with us.. Both were able to make history come alive for us. And both were able to engage with our 16-year old grandson fully to make the experience a rich one for him. We cannot say enough good things about them both. We were fortunate to have Theo twice and Gari for the Acropolis part of the trip.
