5.00Having found this tour via TripAdvisor we decided to book it. The guide, I can't remember his name, sorry, but he supports Olympiakos, he was extremely knowledgeable and he clearly knows what he's all about. We bought tickets for the acropolis and the acropolis museum and everything went as planned and it included plenty of time for photos to be taken throughout. The meeting point was also very easy to find, very close to the foot of the Acropolis itself. I'd definitely recommend using this tour.
Lisa was an Outstanding Guide! Recommend!

5.00Lisa was an outstanding guide. She was very knowledgeable and provided great insight based on her archeological background. While we were tired after the Acropolis, her tour through the museum was fascinating and was probably the highlight for us! If I did this tour again, I would request Lisa.
Unforgettable Acropolis & Museum Tour – Anna Was Incredible

5.00⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely amazing experience touring the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum with Anna as our guide. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and truly passionate about Greek history — but what impressed me most was her ability to keep my daughter completely interested and engaged for four straight hours (which honestly felt unbelievable!). Anna explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, full of fascinating stories, and never overwhelming. She balanced history, mythology, and fun perfectly, and adjusted the pace so it never felt rushed or boring. My daughter is still talking about it days later. This was hands down one of the best tours we’ve ever done and made our visit to Athens truly special. If you’re considering an Acropolis and museum tour, request Anna — she is the best of the best. Highly, highly recommend!
Good guide good history

5.00I enjoyed this tour, I was in a group of about 20 and we all had headphones on listening to the guide through a microphone. You can definitely go to Acropolis on your own and see everything, but if you do this tour and go with a guide, you learn a lot more about the history of everything rather than just looking at stuff. The museum we kind of rushed through, as she was just pointing out the most important stuff. But after we were done, you finish in the museum, so you were able to walk around and see everything that you would like to afterwards. Very informative and I would recommend to somebody who would like to learn about the history as you are there.
One of my favorite tours ever!

5.00Anna was an absolutely wonderful guide for our Acropolis tour. The experience was incredibly well paced, with thoughtful stops along the way that made the climb feel easy and enjoyable rather than exhausting. Each pause felt intentional, giving us time to take in the history, the views, and our breath. Anna is exceptionally knowledgeable, but what really stood out was her demeanor — warm, kind, and genuinely lovely to spend time with. She explained everything clearly and engagingly, and you could feel how much she cared about making the experience meaningful for everyone in the group. I also opted into the additional Acropolis Museum tour, and by chance I was the only one who did, which meant I ended up with a private museum tour with Anna. It was such a gift. She was just as attentive, friendly, and generous with her knowledge. She made the museum come alive and tailored the experience beautifully. Thanks to Anna, this ended up being one of the best days of my time in Athens. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

5.00I am on a solo trip in Greece and while I managed to hang out with a friend here for a bit, we both had very different ideas of how we wanted to spend our time. This tour was perfect for me. We met at the office at 11:30 which was close to my hotel and the Acropolis and walked over together. Aidli was exceptionally knowledgeable about so many of the ruins and pointed out things I would have missed had I gone on my own. She was willing to take photos for us and ensured we were all safe and having a good time. I would do this again.

5.00We underestimated the amount of time to get to the meeting place. We notified them via text message we would be late. They assured us that we could catch up to the group or take the next tour. They were expecting us and got us out the door with tickets and audio equipment quickly and we joined without missing a thing. Our tour guide Anna was beyond accommodating and knowledgeable. She knows her stuff!! We took the additional museum tour with her guidance and we had a very informative and enlightening afternoon. Take this tour, you will not regret it. It makes understanding Greek history and architecture worth the trip.
