5.00Very professional organization and our guide Anna was a superb resource! She is a classically trained archaeologist and trained in tour guiding (6 years of learning!!) She was so full of information and delightful mythological stories we felt like we learned with any effort at all. Speaking of effort, the walk up the hill to the Parthenon is strenuous for some older folks so make you have someone to help you just in case! The views of Athens are fantastic! The wind is really something (be prepared); the gods will delight in flipping your dress up or stealing your hat!! We highly recommend this tour & ask for Anna!!
great tour, recommend must do in Athens ! ! ! !

5.00Selina was great, wonderful tour....highly recommended! Not too long or fast, not too short. Seems like would have cost less to buy museum tickets on my own, though, and it wouldn't have taken any longer. Wish I had done that
Highly recommend

5.00We really enjoyed our tour, our guide brought to life the history of Acropolis and Ancient Athens. I don’t think we would have had the same experience if we’d have explored on our own. Highly recommend.

5.00It's a bit of a hike up if out of shape, but the tour kept an easy pace with multiple stops to take in the sights and some history from Demos, our guide, and I was able to easily follow the pace. We had purchased our tickets already, then realized we would benefit with a guided tour, and this tour definitely delivered. Demos was a wealth of knowledge and funny too.
Worthwhile tour from a knowledgeable guide.

5.00It was very helpful having the background and explanation about what we were seeing rather than just seeing a pile of rubble. The guide was knowledgeable and found nice shady areas to stop and explain things. The sound system worked well. I'd recommend it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Acropolis tour!

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Acropolis tour! Had an amazing time exploring the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Museum with Aphrodite. She was professional, friendly, and brought Ancient Greece to life through brilliant storytelling. As a teacher from Cornwall, England, I loved how she asked great questions, encouraged discussion, and kept everyone engaged. If you visit Athens, try to book with Aphrodite, she’s outstanding! Happy Tourist from Cornwall

5.00John the Archeologist was our tour guide for this tour. He was wonderful! Explained all aspects of what we were seeing and made sure to watch out for all members of our group. He was very knowledgeable and you can tell he really has an interest in what he’s showing you and teaching you. He made this experience a 10/10.

5.00Lydia was the best guide I could have hoped for! She brought not only vast knowledge but a feeling of connection for me. I would recommend doing the full experience with the tickets to the museum as well.
