5.00Our guide was friendly, knowledgable and made the tour engaging for our children too. It was super hot and crowded but our guide found shady areas and got us to all the important spots.
Good choice for an efficient tour of the Acropolis

5.00The tour guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and did a great job of moving the tour along. Just the right timing to keep adults Inotified and the kids to stay interested. The company check in at the beginning was not the best experience. Not a big deal but even if you have a booked time slot, it doesn’t really matter because you have to stand in a line that wraps around the building while ONE person checks in the entire massive group of people taking these tours.

5.00We learned so much on our tour. The guide told us such fun stories. Bring water, it’s hot. A umbrella for shade would be a good idea too. Quite crowded and long lines getting in and out the acropolis. Totally worth the wait!
Great tour of the Acropolis!

5.00Kimon aka Simon was excellent! Funny, educational, and kept us intrigued! He was very accommodating to the children in the group (not mine). I was impressed that he remembered every name of the tour group members. Would highly recommend asking to be a part of his tour group!

5.00Our tour guide was wonderful. Kind to others who were rude and would cut thru our circle when she was talking. She was funny, very knowledgeable and clearly loved her job. She was patient with questions and to us slower walkers.

5.00We had a wonderful experience on our Acropolis tour! John the Archeologist was very knowledgeable, welcoming, and light hearted. He made learning about the history of the Acropolis and Greece a fun experience, and we are very happy that we booked this tour rather than wandering around by ourselves. Great value and easy access to the Acropolis as well!
Great guide!

5.00This was a well-organized tour, but we got John "the Archaeologist" as our guide who made it great. I appreciate real characters for guides... makes the tour much more fun!
