Gina was amazing and so helpful! I wish folks were more attentive to the information she was sharing. Be mindful of pickpockets!

We enjoyed our experience greatly. PLEASE HEED THE ADVICE TO BUY THE SITE TICKETS THROUGH THE TOUR COMPANY! It is confusing that tour and site entry tickets are separate. Others on our tour didn’t do this which created unnecessary stress and delays. Bring double the water you think you need and wear sun protection and sturdy shoes. We toured in early May and it quickly became quite hot.

This was an excellent tour! We did the Acropolis and the Agora. The guide was excellent. I would recommend just buying the tickets through them as well.

Tina was both knowledgeable and gracious, mindful of our individual experiences and how she might connect our stories with the broader narrative of the Acropolis and Western Civilization. Thank you for a fun, insightful tour at just the right pace!

Tour guide was very knowledgeable, energetic, and friendly. She was patient with some in the group who had difficulty with some of the climbs in the heat. She always tried to find shady spots to tell us historical facts and interesting information. The tour itself was the right length for young and more mature tourist who were acclimating to the climate and trying to take in all the scenery as well.
