    The morning tours to the Acropolis are awful, it will be you, 3 entire cruise ships, 400 other tours and the other 5k people with tickets all trying to miss the heat of the day. It was so intense we couldn’t focus on the site. Late aft is actually perfect.

    John the archaeologist was a great guide and leader! He made it a fun and enjoyable experience and shared a lot of descriptive insights into the history of the acropolis and other temples. Definitely try the earlier tours as it gets very crowded as the day goes on.

  • Very knowledgeable and patient.

    Confusing, but the staff was kind and helpful. All the moving parts to the reservation made it hard to understand. There was the admission price and then the guide price for everything. Expensive.
