Fantastic walking tour - Anna was a fantastic tour guide! Very knowledgeable and so funny. Kind and caring, she even stayed behind to give tips of where a solo traveler could go next. She made sure everyone had water, had time to rest and stand in the shade, and could keep up throughout. She was jovial and took pictures for anyone who wanted. You could see her passion for architecture come out in all the great info she shared. Really appreciated having her as our guide!

Facinating - We watched travel videos of other people's experience so we knew a little of what to expect. Our guide Faye was excellent and added her personal insights to add some color to the amazing history of this place.

Nice Tour - Very nice tour. Acropolis is situated high up and walking to get there could be challenging for certain people but our tour guide took it slowly with rest stops along the way for pictures and explaining many of the sites we passed. I would highly recommend this tour.

Just too much detail - We had Harry as our tour guide. I typically enjoy historical tours but this one was just way too detailed and yet didn’t contain some of the info I was expecting. The tour was supposed to be 2 hours but ran around 3 hours 20 minutes. We were encouraged to tour early in the day yet we sat at the bottom of the Acropolis for an hour talking about Greek history while other groups walked by us up the hill. Some people may have enjoyed the in depth historical review but we did not.
