It was an amazing experience to hear the history and visit not only the acropolis but the museum as well. I learned a lot about the history and meaning behind things.

Our tour guide was a bottomless pit of historical knowledge! No matter what question was asked she could immediately fire back with a whole story around the answer. It was an amazing tour. 5 stars, easy!

It was a really good experience. We got many details about the Acropolis and new insight in details and stories about Greek mythology. I found our guide to be very good in explaining and to answer questions.

4 hour tour was great. Chrysa was so knowledgeable and helpful. I got separated from group (my own fault) and they located my hotel manager who called me with location to meet. That is dedication and above and beyond the call of duty.

Chrysa was a wonderful guide — full of history and humorous anecdotes. She moved the group along at a comfortable pace with plenty of opportunities for photos and questions. Would definitely recommend the tour to others. The views from the top of the Acropolis are stunning and definitely worth the hike up — even on a windy day.
