5.00This tour was marketed as a private tour with an expert, and that is exactly what it was. Vicky was extremely knowledgable and charming. We would highly recommend her and Warmpenguin. But, if you're going in the summer, make sure to go early. At 8:00am in late July the weather was still pleasant and the crowds at the Acropolis were still manageable. By 10:00am, when we were heading to the air conditioned museum, it had gotten quite hot and crowded up top.
