A very informative tour of the history of the Acropolis & Athens. Our guide was great, all done with microphone & ear pieces so we missed nothing. Lots of stops up the path to the top & then great to finish at the top & have time of our own at the top.

A great experience and brilliant guide. There were lots of stops on the way to the top with the guide sharing lots of information, and great to be able to have a rear on the way up. Definitely recommend

Booked same day, 3:30 pm 10/31. Easy to book via Trip Advisor link for Viator tickets. Well organized, easy to check in. Tour lady was very nice and knowledgeable. She showed passion and great eye contacts. She told us her name but I could not recall. The walk can be tough. Very crowded at sunset time but got some awesome picture. Also the army folk were folding the flag. Weather was very nice. A light jacket was more than enough for me. Overall, it was a great tour.
