    The tour was great. Our guide, Simon, was very knowledgeable and considerate. He made sure we had the opportunity to use the restroom before going up to the Acropolis. He made sure we all stayed together, gave great explanations, and plenty of opportunities to rest along the way. Overall a great experience.

    Angel, our guide, put meaning into our Acropolis experience. Without her knowledge and fun personality, we would have missed the stories behind all the places of interest we saw on the tour up the mountain. It's also a quite difficult climb due to the slippery stone surfaces and many steps. Angel advised us all along the way the safest paths to take and also took advantage of shady spots to rest. It was great to have that local knowledge guiding us.

    We were very pleased with the tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and clearly explained. The tour group was less than 20 and fairly manageable.
