Helena was the most amazing tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and gave the right amount of information at the right time. She did an excellent job of keeping track of our entire group despite the crowds at the Acropolis. The second half of our day with her was even better because it was just our group of 6. We explored the Plaka neighborhood and enjoyed the regional delicacies. She was a fantastic guide to have. We highly recommend this tour!!

Eleni, our tour guide was exceptional! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She kept a good pace and gave plenty of rest breaks as needed. The headphone system worked well and you could hear all information given despite a group of 20+! Definitely recommend this tour!

Our guide, Demos, made the tour EXCEPTIONAL.!! He was very knowledgeable and able to answer all questions asked by the group. However, what made it the best was how he made historical facts relatable and connected them to our current way of life. His humor and down to earth personality made the tour fun!

Our tour guide, Elena, was super friendly, told us some great stories, and had an incredible sense of humor. There was a LOT of walking and the sites were fairly crowded, but it was a very efficient way to explore the highlights of Athens. Elena also covered a delicious meal for us at the end of our tour, which was a nice touch that we were not expecting. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful setting. Demos was very personable and knowledgeable. He made the acropolis come alive! And the Plaka walk is not to miss! The connector to new and old Greece. Plus the best kebabs in Greece. A must try!

The Acropolis and neighborhood tour was well worth doing. The Acropolis tour was a bit of uphill walking but Anna easy by stopping at points of interest and enlightening us to their significance.. The neighborhood tour was wonderful. Anna took us through several different areas and offered suggestions for shopping and restaurants. Anna was very knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic and appeared to truly enjoy what she does which really made the tour worth doing.

This tour was absolutely FULL of history and information. Our tour guide was very thorough and knowledgeable. FYI if anyone in your group has mobility issues they can get permission to use the elevator but you must tell them when you book as they cannot get access last minute.

Anna was the best tour guide we could have asked for! She was so knowledgeable and really took her time explaining the history of Greece to us and showing us around. Her happy and super up beat personality made the tour so enjoyable. I highly recommend booking your next tour with her!
