Highly recommend! - We did the Early Access to the Acropolis & Old Town Guided Walking Tour at 8:15 am May 29/24.The meeting point (Key Tours) was easy to find & check-in was quite well organized. Please be aware that your Acropolis timed entry ticket (20E) must be purchased in addition to the tour price. I purchased mine on line about a month prior. I THINK you can purchase them at Key Tours upon check-in but not entirely sure, so please check with the tour company before you presume this. Our group was divided by languages so our English-only group was only 10 persons (which reduced to 6 after the Acropolis portion, when we continued on to the Old Town portion of the tour). Our guide was outstanding. He was passionate about Greek history & ensured he provided us with enough history to understand all aspects of what we were seeing during the tour. In addition, he took great care to ensure the group stayed together & remained safe on the slippery terrain, & he was expert at finding shady spots where we could all stand while he spoke. Be aware that folks with mobility issues would likely find this tour too challenging. The tour was highly educational & interesting & very enjoyable. I would highly recommend it to others.

Nice way to spend a morning - The tour guide Christina (hope this the right spelling, sorry if not!) was very knowledgeable but got the balance right. I learned enough without it feeling like a history lecture. We got a good amount of alone time to do whatever, pictures etc, too. The pace is leisurely so you don't have to be super fit to join. And getting in early is a good idea due to the crowds and heat later on.

Great experience - Highly recomended - We had a great experience with our guide Kostas. We got a lot of information about the Acropolis and the surround area. We took a walk to places of the ancient Arhens that was impossible for us to discover on our own. It is a highly recomended tour and the best way to visit the Acropolis.

I love Athens - The tour started at 8:30 from key tour offices. From the first minute I had the dealing that it would be ages at experience. Mrs Katie Liapi was so kind with great humor and so deep knowledge about Greek history and mythology. Acropolis is a must to see but also the smooth walk around small streets around old Athens was amazing

Dire experience. - We visited the Acropolis with the Nadia guide. In 1h30 it was over, he did it in a hurry skipping explanations that then another guide from Athens has explained. We won't repeat.

Terrible! - Bad. We hired a guided tour in Spanish. A few minutes before the scheduled time they sent us a message that there was a 40 minute delay. We arrived at the agreed time and they confirmed us for a later tour but in English, but my partner doesn't speak that language so it was a total waste. Those from the agency blamed Trip Advisor. Terrible!
