Fantastic tour - Sophia is a fantastic guide. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all of history of the Acropolis and Parthenon and the museum. Highly recommend this tour but go early before the masses arrive!

Excellent tour with a fantastic guide - Our guide Angel was fantastic! Her knowledge of Greek history and the stories she told us brought the Acropolis and the history of Ancient Greece to life. If we had done this on our own there is so much we would have missed and never known. We highly recommend this tour. Make sure to purchase the option with the acropolis museum included. We aren't normally fans of museums but this was definitely worth going to. Also, choose the option to have the tickets included. You do not want to stand in line to purchase them!

Excellent - Well done! Very informative and the tour guide was concerned of the whereabouts of the members of the group. The timing of this tour is just before the crowd arrived.

Fantastic Acropolis Tour - Our tour guide Dimos Kontovounisios was outstanding - He brought our tour of the Acropolis to life with both an interesting narrative but also humour . He was inclusive , nformative and professional to all our group and the 2 hour tour flew by as we walked around the wonderful monuments . He also kindly suggested some other attractions and when asked offered recommendations on where to visit in Athens. I would highly recommend Dimos and the Athens Walk tour

The Acropolis with Artemis - We LOVED Artemis. She gave us just the right amount of history and mythology! I tried to give her a rating but the QR code went to a weird web page . FYI
