Fantastic Athens - I have been to Athens chaotic city but overall cutting edge with other European cities. The nightlife is located under the acropolis, precisely in Syntagma Square full of important Italian brand stores. You can get lost in the many alleys full of shops and souvenir shops flanked by numerous trattorias where food abounds on the tables. A whole week that we stayed we used the metro how to get around, the weekly ticket costs 8.50. The metro connects Piraeus where to take a bath there is a piece of free beach called Riviera Beach where there are nearby shower bars and changing rooms. Many attractions are nearby, one of them we visited the Parthenon and the museum. We decided to take a hike to visit the tomb of Agamemnon and Mycenae and end up seeing the mythical gate of the lions. Recommendation to visit the legendary Athens at least once in a lifetime.

Everything you could want - What an incredible walking tour for our family of five. Gabriela managed to hit all the major sites at a pace that was absolutely perfect over 6hrs with very sensible breaks. Her knowledge was simply exceptional - to keep all our kids interested and us adults fascinated throughout was amazing - thank you!

Worth it! - The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out many details that we would have otherwise overlooked. We really enjoyed the tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. It's definitely worth your time to have someone who knows what they're doing show you around.

Walking tour! - Awesome full day walking tour of Athens highlights! The Viator description doesn’t fairly represent all the different sites (gardens, Olympic stadium, hadrians arch just to name a few) that are visited before the Acropolis and museum. Guide Olysia was just the best. Close to 6 hours including quick lunch break and we walked more than five miles in all. Definitely worth the money!

Great, friendly, well informed and compassionate guide - At the Acropolis, our guide did a wonderful job of not only explaining historical and architectural aspects of the Acropolis and Parthenon but, because it was a very hot day and there were many steps to climb, she arranged her tour so that we would take a flight or 2 of steps and then step aside to rest a short bit and stand in the shade before proceeding to the next level. This was much appreciated by all the participants.

A day well spent. - The actual walk was only ok. The second part- the acropolis and the museum were excellent. The history and stories - actually mythology behind the sites is fascinating and our second guide was well versed.
