Incredible Experience - Exceptional Guide - I took the Acropolis tour with my 80-year-old mom on a hot July morning. Our tour guide Lydia was incredible. She was knowledgeable, kind, and thoughtful. My mother had trouble with the heat a number of times, and Lydia was amazing both in accommodating that (finding shade, helping arrange a taxi instead of a short walk back to the museum, informing my mom and me about how many steps, etc. were to come). Her ability to think on her feet and still provide us a complete tour - we didn’t miss a thing - left me speechless. Additionally, my mom and I were so impressed by her deep well of knowledge of art, history, and architecture, and her passion for sharing it. Hands down one of the best tours I have experienced, and I’ve been on a few! 😂 Highly highly recommend!

Amazing Private Tour of the Acropolis and its museum, highly recommend! - We had an incredible private mythology guided tour of the Acropolis and its museum in Athens with guide Anna. She showed an immense amount of knowledge and passion for the history and mythology of Ancient Athens. You brought the Acropolis to life with your captivating stories and in-depth knowledge of its history, architecture, and culture. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she kept my 9-year-old son engaged throughout the entire tour. Anna's ability to explain complex historical details in an interesting and accessible way made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Thank you, Anna, for an unforgettable tour!

Mythology, then history - Our guide was very very steeped in the mythology behind the construction and history of the Acropolis. That’s what we wanted, although I could see someone wanting more history than mythology.

Amazing tour and amazing guide, Konstantina - What an experience. Our guide Konstantina is a working Archeologist. Unbelievably informed, intelligent and patient. What an experience. The sites were breathtaking and she knew all the history and mythology. Thanks to her I can speak with minor authority about the Acropolis, the waves of culture and the foundation myths of Athens and Greece.

Fantastic guide - We absolutely loved this tour. Vera was exceptional. She made a huge effort to engage with the kids, both in terms of learning their personalities, and then clearly adapting the content of the tour based on how they were engaging. Everything Vera did was with a happy, enthusiastic and energetic way that make the experience so great for us all. She was also incredibly knowledgeable on everything from the details of the sites and the museum, to Greek politics, history and culture.

Can't miss tour of Acropolis and Acropolis museum - We loved our Private Mythology Tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Anthi was our tour guide and she was fantastic! We went early in the day when it was cooler and less crowded. She was so knowledgeable about the history and mythology of the area which really brought the amazing sites and artifacts that we were seeing to life. My 10-year old daughter who loves Greek mythology really enjoyed using the ipad which reconstructed what the structures used to look like and allowed her to virtually go inside the buildings. It was so cool! We left with a richer understanding of Ancient Greece and highly recommend this tour.

Sharon Roberson - We could not be happier that we chose Greeking.me for our Private Tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. They were so easy to work with, and could be counted on to respond quickly to any questions or concerns we had regarding our tour. Our tour guide Ilias was outstanding!! He made the tour so interesting with his abundance of knowledge, as well as relaxing, by the way he so perfectly paced the tour. And always kept us out of the sun, and away from the noise of the crowds, whenever he could. He even gave us a restaurant recommendation for lunch (Ella), which was also outstanding! We HIGHLY recommend Greeking.me for your next tour in Greece!

The One and Only Acropolis/ Museum Private Tour - We requested Eva as our tour guide for our Acropolis/Museum Tour based on reviews and her credentials. She did not disappoint! It was like meeting family for the first time in Athens.  Eva picked us up on foot at our AirBnB  and greeted us very warmly with big hugs!! I’m a hugger too:) From there we were off! En route we passed several historical monuments and churches which Eva gave us a brief historical overview of each. She also answered questions we had about what we saw on the way to the Acropolis.  It was like the tour before the tour! The hike to the Acropolis was a little challenging for me at times. Eva sensed this and took breaks whenever I felt winded. Thank you Eva for being so attentive. At arrival, we took another rest stop at the Odeon of Herod Atticus and sat on an huge rock under a tree. There Eva gave us a comprehensive Greek historical overview of Ancient Athens including key events and figures relating to politics, culture, art, science, philosophy and religion. It was here we learned why Athens is named the birthplace of democracy! When we left the Odeon to reach the Parthenon, the overview Eva provided all came together with the mythology stories about each temple.  Her stories were engaging and humorous. The iPad's 3-D exterior/interior views of the temples reconstructed on the Hill was a great addition to help us see how everything looked when it was initially built! Interestingly, the temples were not all white marble as seen today, but some had color in their frescoes and metropes. Also Eva knew all the best spots and angles for the perfect pictures at each temple and other locations on the hill. She took the BEST photos of us! We even all took a selfie together at the Acropolis Museum. I was so happy to start the tour at 8am, as we left around 10 am the crowds were dense. And we were off to the museum! It was really good to have a tour guide at the museum to point out the highlights and history. Eva did an excellent job of relating what we saw at the Acropolis of Athens to the Museum and then some! She even made an excellent restaurant recommendation near the Museum for lunch that we loved! Thank you Eva for customizing our tour to our themes of interest and giving us the perfect tour! Thanks to the Greeking.me team for the excellent customer service. I worked primarily with Katerina R. and Zoi. They both responded in a timely manner and were very resourceful. Will definitely recommend Greeking.me to friends and family visiting Greece.
