Amazing! - Amazing experience. You can visit this place on your own, but thoroughly recommend taking a tour guide so that you can learn a lot about the history! When going during go summer time please take plenty water with you as you will be dehydrated walking up the hill.

Parthenon tour. - Our tour guide (1000 on June 5) was excellent. He has extensive historical background and knowledge about the masonry. The walking can be a little treacherous for someone who is a little unsteady on their feet. Wear sensible footwear.

Excellent tour with a brilliant guide - We had a fantastic tour with Eli. The meeting point was easy to find and the company was very well organised. We choose to go at 8am to avoid the hottest part of the day, which I would recommend if you can. The tour was really interesting and Eli’s knowledge and enthusiasm really brought this ancient wonder (& the museum following that) to life. We highly recommend doing this tour along with the museum directly after.

Great tour! Go EARLY!!! - Go early!!! We arrived at 8am to lots of people. When we left about 11am we could hardly move there were so many people!
The tour was very much worth the money and the guide, Anna, was excellent! Pay for the tour, with tickets, and you'll get more out of your time there!!!

Acropolis Museum Tour - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Athens. Walking through the Acropolis and seeing the Parthenon in person was an incredible experience, and our guide did an outstanding job bringing the history to life. The explanations were engaging, informative, and helped us appreciate the significance of the monuments far beyond what we would have learned on our own.
The pace of the tour was excellent, with plenty of opportunities to take in the views, ask questions, and capture photos of the breathtaking scenery overlooking Athens. Learning about the history, architecture, and mythology associated with the Acropolis made the experience even more memorable. Overall, this tour was well organized, educational, and enjoyable from start to finish. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Athens who wants a deeper understanding of the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the rich history of ancient Greece.

Great tour - a guide is a must - Elizabeth was a great guide. She led us quickly to shady areas to give us plenty of information. I liked that she included a lot of the mythological stories as well.
