Very informative, audio player with new headphones handed out for every audio tour. Makes it great so everyone can hear in big group settings while moving between locations and sights to see.

A very informative tour of the history of the Acropolis & Athens. Our guide was great, all done with microphone & ear pieces so we missed nothing. Lots of stops up the path to the top & then great to finish at the top & have time of our own at the top.

A great experience and brilliant guide. There were lots of stops on the way to the top with the guide sharing lots of information, and great to be able to have a rear on the way up. Definitely recommend
