We had an outstanding and enthusiastic native Athenian guide with a difficult name. If we could give her 10 stars we would!

Knowledgeable guide, even with a very busy day with it being the day before Easter, our guide made every attempt to avoid as many of the crowds as possible.

Vangelis was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic which made our tour extra enjoyable. The pacing was great and it was nice that some breaks were included for refreshment and photo ops.

A perfect way to get to know these beautiful and fascinating historical sites! Our guide, Hermes, was funny, very knowledgeable, and clearly proud of the history of the Greek people; he was a perfect guide!

A very informative tour, which was much better than just walking aimlessly with a basic entry ticket to Acropolis. What made the tour so brilliant was the tour guide Anna Kotorou; her energy, passion, knowledge and storytelling skills brought the tour to life. Tourist tips: (1) Carry water - even in April the uphill walk and heat will make you regret not carrying a drink! (2) If you are booking the tour including the museum, be prepared for an approx 3.5hrs tour. We booked an 11:30am tour and didn’t have lunch until 3.30pm. I would suggest a late breakfast or brunch before the tour!

Alexandria was a great tour guide. She provided interesting information and did a great job tailoring questions to the group. She also was good about looking for all of the participants when we would split up and gather again. She made it a great experience for us.

This tour is the best way to experience the Acropolis and the museum! John, the archeologist was the best! He provided insightful information on all the important sites and even took pictures! He was professional and guided us perfectly through big crowds and gave us plenty of time to take all the sites in.
