An Unforgettable Day at the Acropolis

5.00We booked the Acropolis of Athens & Acropolis Museum Tour and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide Olesya was absolutely exceptional — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the history she was sharing. Walking through the Parthenon with Olesya felt like stepping back through centuries of history. She has a remarkable ability to make the ancient world feel vivid and alive, weaving together stories and context that you simply wouldn’t get on your own. The museum portion of the tour was where she truly shone. Her depth of knowledge was impressive — she walked us through the collection in a way that was detailed without ever feeling like a lecture. By the end, we had a real sense of the Acropolis’s full story, from its earliest origins through to the present day. It felt immersive rather than informational. Olesya clearly takes great pride in her work, and it shows in every part of the experience. If you’re visiting Athens and want a tour that goes well beyond the surface, this is it — and if Olesya is available, don’t hesitate. She delivers something truly special. Highly recommend Athens Walking Tours. We’ll be back.
Acropolis is amazing, better with a guide

5.00The acropolis is an amazing venue, it dominates the city and is a must see. Our tour included the Agora which on hind sight was a good decision. The Acropolis itself is awe inspiring, just the sheer scale of the building and the complex. It was great to have a tour guide who met us outside and took us through the history of the building and also what many of the symbols meant which made the experience much more enjoyable. The Agora reminds me of the Forum in Rome, and without a guide it's just a bunch of ruins. This was an added extra which we're delighted we did with the tour as walking it alone would be very underwhelming. The restored museum was well worth a visit, it's not large but is a recreation of the building that stood on the premises and so gave a really great idea of the scale of the complex. Our guide was super friendly, able to answer any questions we or the group had. Delighted we chose them. Group size was manageable with about a dozen people but we all got headsets which seems to be the practice generally. Only negative is that by tacking on the Agora we didn't have as much time as we would have liked to take photos at the Acropolis. Top tips - it's busy in the Acropolis and was cool when we went there in April so bring warm clothes. The Agora is apparently unbelievably hot in mid summer by contrast. Also, make sure to have ID or a photo of ID for the kids as they get a large discount on entry but you can be asked to prove their age.

Ermes was friendly and courteous , plus very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommended this tour to anyone who visits tge Acropolis and the ancient Agora
Excellent tour made better by an excellent guide Vasiliki

5.00Excellent tour! I wanted something that combined the Acropolis and the Agora, and this tour was perfect for that. We had an amazing guide - Vasiliki - who provided a well-structured tour without overly complicating the history of the site. The Agora - while obviously not as impressive - is in my opinion a must-see as well. The group size was small, the length of the visit was perfect, and we appreciated the receivers so we could hear her at all times.
