Great Tour

We had a great tour guide who took the time to explain the details while visiting the Acropolis and Parthenon. I wish we had more time to get information on the artifacts in the museum - that second part was a bit rushed, but then again, the museum was quite full of tourists even in the shoulder season. A suggestion would be to also have a tour of the National Archeological Museum as it has more artifacts to admire.
Ripoff - Small group was 30 people

The guide (Alexandria) tried to give a good tour but they had so many people in our promised less than 15 group that she could not cover us all. I would never book with this ripoff group again.

Aphrodite gave us an exceptional tour. Answered all questions and is very knowledgeable about the tour. She kept a walking pace suitable for all guests in the group. I like to think I a tour with the Greek goddess herself. If you can clone her and you will never get a complaint again.
Great tour with outstanding guide!!

Our tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Acropolis Museum was absolutely exceptional, thanks to our incredible guide, Michael G. From start to finish, he brought the history, architecture, and art of ancient Athens vividly to life with his engaging storytelling and infectious passion. His depth of knowledge and genuine love for the subject made every moment fascinating. In over 35 years of international travel, Michael G is truly one of the very best guides we have ever had the pleasure of meeting! An unforgettable experience — highly, highly recommended!

Great tour guide but the personal hearing devices are pathetic. After reaching the top of the Acropolis the device quit working. A few minutes later the battery in my wife’s device went dead. We missed a lot of the explanation. Guide did her best to compensate but we still missed a lot.
Cmon Tour Guy, get rid of the super cheap and unreliable devices and spring for some good devices. Your customers deserve it!!
Great tour guide

This company does a lot of tours but they seemed to have there act in gear and got people out in groups of 18 or so. Our guide was nice and had a lot of information about the Acropolis, Parthenon and Museum.
Worth it.

I was expecting that this company have their own tour guide but I was wrong. That means you can sign up with other companies and will get the same resource. I could have gone to another company and paid a bit less.

Our guide was fantastic; she clearly loved Greek history and was happy to share interesting insights into Greek culture. We opted to include the guided tour of the Archeological Museum and we are so glad we did. Our guide explained major sites on the way up to the Acropolis and tied everything together with the museum exhibits. What a fantastic day!
