The tour with Nikos was outstanding. He was so knowledgeable and easy to understand. He answered all our questions, no matter how obscure. And he was most accommodating when half our group failed to show up at our meeting site on time. He started up with the group we had, then went back down for the latecomers. I was very frustrated with our late group, but Nikos was cool and calm. He also took multiple photos of our group, and individual ones as well, one of which is my husband’s favorite. I HIGHLY recommend this tour!

Niko is very informative!!! He is also very aware and considerate of people’s physical activity and need for rest and water. We are a group of 60 something’s in decent shape and capable of the uphill walk, but Niko often asked us about our own physical needs. Go as early as you can in the day, so avoid the heat. It’s a busy place, but we knew that. Enjoyable, informative, historical. A great way to see one of the world’s most iconic treasures with a pleasant , accommodating and informative guide.
Great tour!

Incredible guide who knew exactly where to be and when. We went in August 2025 in peak time. The guide was very, very good and personable. The tour group was very small, it was just 6 people including my partner and I. It made getting around the big tour groups easy and we were able to get into good spots for photos. The guide also found good shaded spots to talk about the different sites. Highly recommend this tour of the Acropolis!
Great tour by our guide Nicholas

We had a great tour around the Akropolis. Our tour guide Nicholas was very knowledgeable and managed to bring the old ruins to live. By making constant connections between the historical Greece and their influence on modern language and habbits, he managed to keep all people of different ages in our group entertained.
Wonderful and enjoyable

It's a decent climb to the top, but our tour guide, Nikos, was so helpful and patient. He guided us to shade and places for my dad to sit. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything to do with the Acropolis and more. The tour was perfect and beyond expectations!

Nikos was fantastic - we ended up being the only couple on the tour and were thrilled to have a private experience. Nikos was extremely knowledgeable and we loved the level of detail he provided - enough to understand, without extreme detail. He was an expert on the least crowded spots, how to get around the hoards of people, and how to find shade. As an added bonus, he even took many great photos of us! We had a great time and will recommend this tour to anyone coming to Athens.

Nikolas was our tour guide and we are so grateful for him. Our family includes 2 kids (ages 4 and 10) and a grandparent who walks rather slow. Nikolas was very patient and made sure the walking pace was comfortable for us. The day we visited was extremely hot (high temperature for the day was 102F). He made frequent stops in shady spots and got us refill on cold drinking water at the end. At the end of the tour, we had planned to visit the museum. He took extra time to walk us there and help us get to the cafe, where we had a drink and light lunch prior to wandering around the museum. He also went above and beyond to help my father-in- law find a taxi so he could go back to the hotel after the tour. As for the tour itself, he is extremely knowledgeable. He was able to answer all our questions and explain things in a way our 10 year old could understand. His personality is very kind and warm. He made our visit to the Acropolis so enjoyable. I cannot recommend Nikolas and this tour enough.

Anyone can get a ticket and walk up to the Acropolis but to have a guide tell you about every little thing along the way makes a huge difference. Our guide, Nikos, did a fantastic job of explaining everything. Any questions we had, he was able to answer them. He was also a very good photographer.
