Great experience! - We had the 4 hour tour of the Acropolis and Museum with Kostas. Easy to book too! A local guide who is very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour felt very relaxed and totally organised. Really worth taking the tour, especially the early morning one. (I am still surprised and disappointed at the amount of Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum which I feel should be returned for display in the Acropolis Museum).

John The Archeologist was wonderful! - John The Archeologist is wonderful! He's a real Archeologist and boils all the historic information down to a digestible size. He makes it all feel relatable. He was so warm and friendly, and took such good care of us. He explained the highlights of the museum. Could not be better!

The best of the best of the best - Brilliant - just brilliant. Our guide Lydia was so knowledgeable and brought the whole history of the Acropolis to life. The four hours flew by as we worked our way up the hill and then around the museum. I can’t imagine I would have known where to focus or look without a guide - and so cannot recommend enough.

Great experience - I enjoyed this tour a lot. We met our guide at the tour office and walked to the site. The Acropolis is amazing and skip the line was a relief when I saw the crowds lined up.
