Excellent tour of acropolis and the museum. Anna was our tour guide and she was full of energy the entire time. She was very knowledgeable of the history and provided time for photo opportunities. I really enjoyed this tour.

This experience was 10/10, would book again! Our guide, Petros, was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He ensured no one in the group was left behind. He was easy to understand and provided interesting history/facts to all the sites we looked at. Loved Petros and loved the experience!

Guides are excellent. Buying tickets online is good . Finding the meetup location is a nightmare! Nobody knows where the meetup location is. No signage in English to help tourists find their way. Company needs to do a better job to avoid customers getting frustrated and angry. It’s a foreign visitor disaster!

We could not understand the tour guide with his heavy accent and the audio on the headsets were poor quality. We booked this trip hoping the tour guide would make history come alive but unfortunately left feeling like it was a waste of time.
