5.00We really enjoyed the tour of the Acropolis and the museum with our tour guide, Michael. He was very knowledgeable about history and mythology and answered all our questions. The site was crowded, but we went first thing in the morning, so it wasn't too bad. Definitely glad I brought a hat and an umbrella for the sun! The museum is a must-see either before or after visiting the archeological sites.
Spectacular Experience

4.00Comfy footwear and water are essential. If travelling in Summer goes as early as possible. Be patient not pushy and you will enjoy it so much more. Vilma (our guide) was amazing. So passionate and knowledgeable. This is a must see/do
