5.00Athen’s Walk had a very efficient check in process and sent detailed info. prior to the tour. We loved our tour guide Ana she was informative but so upbeat and fun at the same time. Our tour was a total of 2 hours which was perfect. We did not do the museum tour.
Tour with enthusiasm and some lessons

5.00Eleni did a wonderful job communicating the rich history and context behind the structures in the Acropolis and artifacts in the museum. She was highly enthusiastic and conveyed how the history provides lessons on living in unity and harmony with each other even today. We appreciated the little bit of extra time to take pictures at the Parthenon before leaving for the museum and the small break before starting the museum tour, but guests should be aware that the full tour lasts about 4 hours. (Our 9 am tour departed from the meeting point at 8:45 am and ended at 12:45 pm.) The tour was engaging and never felt too slow or too rushed - highly recommend!
Great tour of the Acropolis

5.00Aphrodite was a wonderful guide. She was patient with our large group (14 of us) and all the kids. She was very knowledgeable about the sites and answered all our questions. The tour was a great way to see the Acropolis and the museum by-passing the lines. Definitely go as early as you can to help with the heat.
Great way to see these sites!
