5.00Our guide was extremely knowledgeable with higher degrees in archaeology and a strong interest in excavation. The stories were interesting, she gave us lots of local tips and the entire tour was extremely professional. The headphones helped immensely in hearing the guide. We did the full tour of both the Acropolis Hill and the Museum and did not regret the extra expense.
