5.00Very thorough and informative tour of the Acropolis and the Museum. Having the commentary, especially in the museum, was essential.
Don’t go without a guided tour!

5.00This tour was educational and fun! The guide was a wealth of knowledge. The experience would not have been as enriching without the guide. The logistics of managing this tour without the guide would have been difficult. She helped with everything. Including restrooms, breaks to get out of the sun, and lots of background information on the monuments and museum. This tour was well worth the financial investment!!
Amazing Acropolis...

5.00Yannis was a great guide. Our group was somewhat large, but he was good at keeping us together. He also wove information about the site with current aspects of the culture.
Great tour

5.00The guide Arina was great and made the tour memorable and interesting. Very well organised. I did the guided tour only to the Parthenon and that suited me as I wanted to spend more time there to check it on my own.
