We did the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum tour at 8am, and we really enjoyed the tour! The timing was nice to get ahead of large crowds, and our guide provided amazing information. The tour and our knowledgeable guide provided amazing information on the site, its history, and provided context for how the site was created and its importance in the time period. Having a guide in the museum was worth the price! Our guide was amazing for taking us through the museum and providing so much information about the items in the museum and why they are important. It allowed us to appreciate the site and museum to a greater extent and learn so much more! I cannot recommend this tour enough!
Knowledgeable guide provides a comprehensive view of history

This was a very well run tour. Giannas was a very knowledgeable tour guide and made our trek up the acropolis easy to maneuver, with all the other tourists. It also provided historical information and viewing options to surrounding sites. Include the museum tour to associate what you just saw at the Parthenon, it brings the whole experience together. I would highly recommend this tour.
Fascinating Tour!

When in Athens, I highly recommend this tour. Selena, our tour guide was the best! Even though we were in a group of about 15 people, I felt like Selena was our own private tour guide. The information that she gave us was so fascinating. We were on the 4-hour walking tour. It also included a tour of the museum with our guide. When considering this tour, the museum is also a must see because many of the ancient art decorations have been preserved and displayed in the museum. That in itself, was so educational and beautiful. The walk up to the Parthenon, while moderately challenging, can also be a bit difficult because of the slippery rocks at some points on the walk. Make sure you bring water and sunscreen as directed. We were here on a beautiful sunny day in October, and we were very happy to have both. The tour was an eye-opening, up close and personal exploration of ancient Athens. Thanks to Selena for making this experience memorable. For these reasons, I highly recommend this tour.
Experienced, accredited guide provided an insightful tour.

We arrived early and luckily joined a tour quickly to avoid the heat. Our guide was an accredited archaeologist and was very personable, experienced and knowledgeable with impeccable English. We were guided through the Acropolis and The Parthenon (and the other tourists) with our guide finding spots to stop and impart information. We then went on to the impressive museum where our guide encouraged us to stay on our own after the tour to maximise our experience. 100% recommend.
The acropolis!

We like how the activity was organized All in time with our comfort in mind letting us making washroom visits when it was the good time and we did an early time slot We saw many people and we can only imagine how crowded would be later Impressive monuments that cannot be missed and very worthy the licensed guide information Probably you still like the temple and Parthenon and the entrance to the acropolis due to its size and magestic presence but without the history and explanations it’s an empty beauty Acropolis museum is a must visit ! The design and the layout all has been planned and we enjoyed the excavation museum included with the ticket Afrofithi our guide was patient and well versed Thank you
One of the best tours in my life

Katerina gave us a very nice insightful tour of the Acropolis and its history. We also included the museum visit, which, if you are interested, needs to be led by a guide. This is the ultimate sight to see in Athens, which includes all there is on the Acropolis sight.
