Incredible Tour! - We met our guide, Mentís, at the tours office which is a short walk to the Acropolis. We checked in, received our listening devices, and introduced ourselves to the group. The day was well structured with a visit to the acropolis sites and associated museum. Mentís led us through the history, importance, and archaeological significance of various points of interest. He was a gifted lecturer on topics from architecture, society, and the arts which are expressed everywhere. As we were visiting the museum he encouraged us to also visit the excavations under the museum which was spot on. We had an amazing day and highly recommend the tour!

Thanks to Chrisa - It was a very good experience, with a well-prepared and very polite guide (Chrysa). It is a bit tiring, but not excessively so, as there are frequent stops to rest. It is always useful to discover details with a knowledgeable guide. Please note that the guided tour does not include the ticket.

She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience truly special. Her passion for history and warm personality made everything even better.

Fantastic trip to the Acropolis and Museum - Our guide, Lydia was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and gave us lots of information in an engaging way. She was well organised and ensured that everything on our tour went smoothly. We opted to include the museum visit which was very interesting especially with Lydia explaining so much. All in all a fantastic experience.

Fabulous Acropolis, 1st class tour - We had Margarita carry out our tour, she was fantastic and so passionate about her Athens history. We spent 4 hours delving into this beautiful cities history which is truly remarkable. We chose the 1pm tour which meant we had a stunning view of the sunset. Oh and we even got to see some cats 🐈 Thank you 😊

Great experience! - Jordan gave us a really great and informative tour! It’s clear that he’s really knowledgeable on Ancient Greek history, and I learned a lot about the Athenian acropolis that I wouldn’t have known without the tour. I highly recommend!
