Artemis, our tour guide, was excellent! She related information in a interesting way and left us with a great appreciation of the magnificence of the Parthenon. The Museum tour is a must.

My travel buddy and I took this tour and I can't recommend it enough. This walking tour included the Acropolis, Parthenon and museum and entrance tickets are included (which is rare). Joanna was fantastic as she is a history buff and archeologist so her knowledge of the sight was amazing. She also made sure we got to see everything, up close. While explaining history she made sure we were in the shade! It was very crowded and she was patiently waiting for a crowd to disperse to get us close to the sights. Joanna is amazing . Great tour.
Outstanding Experience

A great overall experience. Our positive tour experience is 100% due to our excellent guide, Stelios. Knowledgeable and passionate about archaeology and history, he provided the background we needed to make our tour of the site and museum meaningful. The Acropolis is hot and crowded (for good reason) so a knowledgeable and entertaining guide makes all the difference. Thank you, Stelios!
Wonderful

Thank you for a great tour. I felt I really experienced the site and understood the history and significance. Our guide was pleasant knowledgeable and professional. She got a bit of a hard time from two difficult tour members where we all felt their issue was their own fault. She handled it with patience and grace and I was very impressed. I would book again.

I took my parents (in their 70s) on this tour in July 2024. This tour is no joke and not meant for those with mobility challenges. Additionally, there was a heat wave the week we visited with temps in 100s causing the government to close the Acropolis in the afternoon for safety. That contributed to very crowded and hot mornings.
I enjoyed the tour, but my parents did not as it was simply too much for them physically. Our guide was knowledgeable of the history, but walked too fast for my parents to keep up.
This is a good tour for those whose don’t have mobility issues. I would do this tour again, but leave my parents at the museum.
Fantastic tour!

Artemis was our guide and she was very experienced. We could tell that guiding this tour was second nature to her. She was also very passionate about her country and its history. We hear about the Greeks frequently reclaiming their land and culture throughout history, and this could only happen through the love the Greeks have for their country. We could see that in Artemis and it was beautiful.
There was time to see everything and it didn’t feel rushed. Very organized operation!
10 Stars!

This tour was awesome! Our guide Myrto aka Shorty was the best! We had a few people get sick from the heat on the tour and she did a wonderful job making sure everyone was ok and tried to get us in the shade as much as possible.
She was extremely knowledgeable and knew Athens history to a T. I wish I was able to give her more than 5 stars because she deserves it.
You won't be sorry if you book this tour! Hope you are lucky enough to get Myrto as your guide

Everything about our tour was phenomenal. Our guide was also very attentive and made sure guests knew where restrooms and water status/fountains were located along the way. He also appeared connected to the history of the Acropolis and is a native of Greece. We thoroughly enjoyed his stories and rich knowledge of history. Overall we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend this tour.
