Best waking tour of the Acropolis - Fantastic tour! Well paced and suitable for our 70yr old mum (walk was not too strenuous). Our guide was great, very knowledgeable and flexible in terms of timing and where we went on the tour. Would highly recommend.

An excellent tour of the Acropolis and acropolis museum - We had a wonderful guide, Nic, who was a wealth of information! He was very concerned about the safety of his group on the slippery marble and you could tell he had a lot of experience by the attention he gave to details. Nic allowed us to go at our own pace, answered our questions, and made it very interesting. We were a small group of four, which was great. We had no difficulty hearing him. The tour included the museum which some tours did not include. We saw no line of people because we did not go in the same entrance. Another group had to wait an hour and a half to get into the acropolis so there was a line somewhere. We recommend Nic as a tour guide and using skip the line. Our tour was in June. Wear shoes with traction.

What history - Nicholas was very informative and patient as we walked thru and had so many questions. We were amazed that we asked for a restaurant suggestion and he walked us there and got us a table. Above and beyond

Great way to spend an afternoon in Athens! - Our tour guide was incredibly informative and a pleasure to tour with. This tour was a good mix of the Acropolis museum and the actual Acropolis - the perfect length and level of detail.

Excellent afternoon guided tour! - Our tour guide was amazing! We were lucky to be the only ones on the tour so we had a private tour. He was very knowledgeable, dedicated and it was a great experience! We went to the museum first in order to let the heat go down before going to the Acropolis. I strongly recommend the afternoon tour because it was not as hot as in the morning, there was even a breeze. This is one of the best tours we’ve taken.

A knowledgeable and friendly guide. - Booked as part of a group but ended up being a private tour. My guide was excellent and his knowledge was amazing. Really helps having a guide especially at the Acropolis Museum in relation to the actual site. Bit expensive but well worth it.
Easy walking distance
The tour lasted about 3 hours.
