Excellent - This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, Selena, did an amazing job. She gave us a lot of information without it being overwhelming, nor did she dumb it down. I thought it was perfect!

Great Experience - We’ve been traveling in southern Europe for nearly a month and have gone on well over a dozen guided tours during that time and Hermes was THE BEST guide we’ve had so far. Knowledgeable, funny and organized. He made the 4 hours seem too short!

Very good tour - recommended - We took the Acropolis-with-Acropolis-Museum tour. Our guide, Vassiliki, was excellent - very knowledgeable (qualified archaeologist), an experienced tour guide, enthusiastic/passionate about the Acropolis and the history of Athens, and spoke perfect English. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend this tour and include the museum tour - We did the Acropolis of Athens & the Acropolis Museum Tour with Dimitris and would highly recommend the tour. The museum tour was so much more informative and interesting with Dimitris explaining the key pieces that we would have otherwise glossed over by just reading the plaques. Dimitris was an informative storyteller, providing the myths and facts in an interesting and entertaining manner. The pace was perfect, allowing rests along the way up to the Acropolis.

Excellent guide! - Marina the guide was amazing. Very thorough and thoughtful. I wish the meeting point was made more clear. It was at a coffee shop and they didn’t give the name so that was hard for me to find.

Wonderful tour of the Acropolis - Our guide, Tina, was fantastic! She was well versed not only on things Athenian, but also world affairs. She led us up to the Acropolis, showed us the sights, and discussed the importance of each one. And in the Acropolis Museum, she was very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend her. And although a private tour is more expensive, for us it was well worth it. The individual attention and freedom to choose where we wanted to go made it a worthwhile excursion.

Great place with plenty of history to learn and read about - This is a must see on any Athens trip. Plenty of history to go with it. Splendid views and an amazing experience on top of Athens. The Accent of the guide, Jordan was heavy and could have been better.

Too slow moving - A little too slow and not time to explore on your own. Stopped too often to talk and the mics were not great
