5.00Alina the guide was very knowledgeable and her standard of English superb. However far too much detail from her. In the end I turned off the headphones as I was getting a headache. She needs to summarise at each stop and move on. Tickets for museum expensive and photos inside not allowed.
Informative and Captivating!

5.00Our guide was BRILLIANT! I love how this tour really helped me put together all the pieces of history I learned from school. It was very informative and allotted the perfect amount of time to tour. We added on the museum experience and it was really worth it. It helped grasp more of what the Parthenon would have looked like throughout time. Bravo! Going in early December, the crowds were minimal and the weather was low 60s, so it made for the perfect weather for the experience.
Great experience

Amazing tour guided by Afroditi

5.00It was a great guided walking tour covering acropolis and parthenon by Afroditi. She explained the history and the different events at the location. 2 hours visit was sufficient to cover all of the places. There was time given to explore the place on our own. There were 20 people in the group making it nicely sized. Entrance to acropolis was covered in the tour price and we didn't have to wait to get the tickets. I would recommend the tour highly.
Very interesting and beautiful

5.00Visiting the Temple of Athena in Athens was truly one of the highlights of my trip. The site itself is stunning—perched high above the city with breathtaking views, and filled with the incredible history and artistry of ancient Greece. But what made the experience truly exceptional was our tour guide. s, I highly recommend exploring the Temple of Athena with a knowledgeable guide—it transforms a beautiful site into an unforgettable experience.
