5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our tour last month. It was our first visit to Greece and the guided tour was perfect to get us started on our vacation. Our guide Elena was knowledgeable about the history of Ancient Greece and the Parthenon in particular and she used her sense of humor to make living in those times relatable to us. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00We booked this walking tour of the Acropolis through Viator. They used Athens Walks. Our tour guide Annie was extremely knowledgeable about the Acropolis, Parthenon, and many other structures. The tour pace was very good. She stopped at several spots on the way to the top to explain the history of Athens, Highly recommend Annie as your guide,
Fantastic tour to learn the history at a good pace

5.00There is so much history at this site. It would be a mistake to just buy a ticket and walk around. This was a fantastic tour as our guide Demos was personable and knowledgeable. Often museums of artifacts are boring to me, but in this case it is amazing what they have done. So I recommend including the museum as part of your tour.

5.00Far, far better than wondering around without knowing the history of what you are looking at. Not just the background but the arc of history from then til now.
