4.00Good narration of the high lights of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. Guide attempted to get to know each of the folks in her group. Nicely offered to take pictures at important settings for those who wanted pictures at certain settings.

5.00Once we were through the slight chaos / frayed tempers at the meeting point, this was a fantastic experience. Our guide Laura was exceptionally good and very knowledgeable on the many sites in the tour, and the detailed history and culture behind them. We glided seamlessly from point to point and the overall experience was excellent & memorable. Thank you, Laura

5.00We went on the tour with the added acropolis museum and thought it was a great compliment to seeing the acropolis. Anastasia was our tour guide and she was terrific. She found shaded areas for us to wait while she explained what we were seeing, which was appreciated with the hot summer sun.

5.00Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Nice pace. The acropolis is super crowded even if you go early but our guide did a good job keeping everyone together and stopping in shady spots for explanations.
Fine tour

4.00The walking tour was fine, our guide kept us moving, and we saw all the key pieces of the Acropolis and learned a bit about each thing. After the tour we were given 20 minutes, then we headed to the museum. Here again we went pretty quickly through the museum and saw the key pieces. I felt like our guide was knowledgeable, but also it’s clear that there are many, many guides, and that they all hit the same things day in and day out. Overall I think it was a fine tour, and by taking a tour you will learn more about what you are seeing than going on your own.
