A fantastic tour of the Acropolis with very detailed explanations and interesting facts. Our guide, Michael G., provided excellent background stories and always answered all our questions. A very pleasant guide! We highly recommend this tour.

We did this experience early July and the weather was extremely hot. Regardless the whole experience was fantastic. Our tour guide (I have forgotten her name unfortunately) was excellent and very accommodating. On each stop she made sure we were in a shaded areas away from the sun. She imparted her great knowledge of the Greek mythology on each stop which was very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour but perhaps in cooler months and when it is less crowded.

Our tour leader Vicky was awesome! Very experienced, knowledgeable and friendly. Tour started on time, Vicky strove to find us shade, plenty of time on your own, and we learned a lot.

Fantastic tour with Elena! Size of group was perfect, she had tons of interesting info to share (two teenagers in our group and they were fully engaged!) we did the museum option as well and it is not to be missed— really helps you understand all the symbolism and details about the Parthenon that you will miss!

Our guide, Ana, did a great job. I would recommend this tour to others 100%. Ana did a great job posing questions to us, providing information & pictorial representations of what the ruins looked like 2,500 years ago, and was very open to answering any questions we had.
