We had a great archaeologist guide who spoke excellent English. He was easy to hear and understand, especially with the microphone packs provided. The many stops during the ascent of the Acropolis were timed perfectly to make the ascent manageable for persons of all ages and abilities. We had a great time!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. We enjoyed both the Acropolis and museum tour. The museum tour focused on the highlights, but there was a lot more to see in the museum. We suggest to plan for some extra time after the tour to explore the rest of the museum on your own.

The Acropolis is a must visit experience. It was fascinating and I recommend a tour. It’s very crowded and as with any tour, much is dependent on one’s guide. Ours made no effort to carry a flag or anything to identify his position and made no effort to keep the group together. While knowledgeable this was one tour where a private guide would have been much better.

Our guide Margertia was very open and interactive with the group; easy to hear through the provided earphones. We felt that this kind of tour was the best way to really learn about the history of Athens and the Acropolis. The pace was good; the average fitness of our group was balanced; this is necessary since the tour involves a lot of walking, much of it up hill (both ways - in the snow! ok, just kidding). Note, you will be on your feet for essentially 4 hours. The autumn timing of our tour allowed for manageable crowds. There were enough opportunities provided to stop and experience the spaces and take pictures. A final stop at the Acropolis Museum was a highlight and added to our understanding of the period and art and construction.

Excellent tour. From booking (detailed information, including options), to checking in (recommend doing it in advance to get your listening devise adn tickets if applicable, then snack, have coffee on or buy water from an arrays of shops near by, before starting the tour). Our guide was knowledgeable, considerate and caring. While climbing to the top of Acropolis, she was stopping at regular intervals, trying to keep us in the shadow and even sitting down where possible during her informative talks, photo taking etc. (it was a hot day). Recommend without any reservations.

Guide was knowledgeable and patient. We don’t have to weight in any lines for tickets. Glad we toured the museum too.

Fabulous tour with Dimitris as guide. Met up with group a 5 min walk away from entrance to Acropolis and so worthwhile to be able to skip the queues. I'm not a huge fan of many of the information boards so its much easier to take in the history when somebody is explaining the back stories and Dimitris was able to bring the stories to life about the Persians, Pericles, Athena and Poseidon, the Theatre of Dionysus, Odeon of Herodes, the healing god Asclepius and Nike. Really enjoyable tour, thank you!
