We thought it was a great tour. The guide was very informative. We weren’t expecting it to be so incredibly crowded and even though the guide warned us repeatedly about the footing my wife took a small tumble. There is so much to see it’s easy to forget to look down and the path is very uneven in places. I would recommend this tour but go as early as possible to avoid the heat and wear sensible shoes. We also went to the museum which was amazing

It was so amazing to see the Acropolis in person. The experience was only made better by our tour guide, Stratos. Stratos truly loves and appreciates history. His enthusiasm was contagious!

We hard a very good time. The tour was paced just right so you weren't overwhelmed with the long climb uphill. Stopped along the way with excellent descriptions of everything around us. Tour guide was very knowledgeable, sorry don't remember her name. Try to go early in the day to avoid the sun.
Artemis was great!

Her tour guide, a lovely redhead named Artemis, was so full of historical factts! I really appreciated her breaking the complex Greek history down into sections for better understanding about the history of the acropolis and the museum. Her enthusiasm and pride and being Greek was infectious! I would highly recommend this tour!
