Alexandra was our guide. She was such a wonderful person. Such passion for the Greek culture and a proud citizen of Athens. I love when your guide knows their stuff and they are so anxious to talk about it. Great time. And she got us to the front of the long line at the Parthenon Museum!

Guide Betty was so good! Told the ruins' stories in an interesting way for non-historians. Moved at a perfect pace, paused for story effect and rest and the best times, offered picture taking point suggestions, Connected 1st building, 2nd building of Parthenon and various uses over the ages in easy to follow flow. In the museum. Brought the artifacts to life, linked them to what we saw outside, was wonderfully selective in choosing items on which to focus ( because the amount to see was overwhelming). She was vastly knowledgeable with a sense of humor as well. No questions were silly and she kindly repeated things when asked. 15 years of travel and she ranked in our too few guides!

The tour guide Ava was excellent! She was so knowledgeable and very proud which was lovely. I would do it again as there was so much to learn and it was beautiful.

It was a wonderful tour and Lisa was the most gracious and knowledgeable guide ever! I truly enjoyed every minute. The Acropolis museum was also mind blowing, such a perfect architectural structure and so becoming to its surrounding. Thank you!

Our female guide, Jossea (we called her JOY), was very knowledgeable, professional, thorough & easy to understand (on our ENGLISH tour). This is a “Walks in Europe” tour. We toured the Acropolis and then the Acropolis Museum in the morning. Some Athen tours skip the museum. Why would you want to skip one of the most important museums in the world? Wear comfy shoes and take water. We are relatively fit 60/70 year olds ~ we had no issues keeping up with this group.
