    Very informative guide and very interesting tour of the Acropolis. Lots of information. We were here in mid May and it was plenty hot. I cannot imagine doing this in the heat of the summer with all the crowds.

    This was the best tour of our time in Athens. Our guide, Natasha, couldn’t have done a better job. She was not only extremely knowledgeable but knew how to interact with everyone in our group. She kept the pace up but had several shaded stops where all could catch their breath. This tour was amazing but also would not recommend if someone had any kind of physical limitations. Highly recommend!

    Excellent tour with a great guide. Lots of walking for some. It took about 3.5 hours so fairly long. It ended in the museum and one could stay as long as desired after the tour.
