Lovely paced guided walk around the main attractions of the Acropolis. Guide was excellent and heard easily through the provided headset. Lots of information at each spot with plenty of time to ask questions. Recommended. We saw lots of people wondering around without any insight into what they were viewing and for a reasonable price they could have come away with a different experience.

Tour time was canceled and we did not find out until we arrived at the meeting spot. There was another tour that met at our spot but we were not allowed to join it. We were unable to go on the tour bc the only time we were given was when we were to board a cruise. However, we did receive a refund.

Great explanation of the Greek world Our guide Dora knew how to manage her tour through the other tour guides, letting us sit in the shade, giving us the stories behind the monuments. Very interesting

We were so lucky as our guide on 9/19/25 was Olesya and she is simply fantastic! She is knowledgeable, personable, enthusiastic, and injected humor and questions to keep us all engaged. She speaks English, German, & Russian and she is a true professional. We recommend her as one of the very best guides for a tour of the Acropolis and Parthenon!
