Bucket list tour. - Wow. So much history and beauty. It is a long climb to the top of the Acropolis. There were a lot of people and no hand rails climbing up or down. There is marble everywhere. Steps can get slippery be prepared. It is absolutely stunning. I'm still in awe thinking back on my trip. The neighborhood is extremely crowded and we went in the off season. The museum was an added bonus. So glad we included this with the tour.

Best Guided Tour Ever! - Our Tour Guide was very knowledgeable about Greek culture and history. I believe her name was Eva on Sunday 12/1 -It was very educational and she shared so many interesting facts that we didn't know. We thoroughly enjoyed it and the guide made the experience meaningful, often sharing quotes & values from the philosophers ! I had injured my knee the day before and worried if I could make the hike but the hill itself looks much harder to climb than it is! Lots of steps, uneven pavement and unpaved trails, but worth the adventure! We can see the Acropolis from our rooftop apt but the view from the top and it's majestic height was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you! So glad we booked -definitely a highlight of our trip! Highly recommend.

The Acropolis is incredible! And the tour was great, too! - I've been a big fan of Greek mythology since I was in high school so I was so excited to visit the Acropolis and Parthenon for the first time. My guide, my apologies I've forgotten her name, was friendly and knowledgeable. It was drizzling the morning on the day of the tour but perhaps that was for the best since the Acropolis and Parthenon wasn't too crowded. The Parthenon up close and personal is awe-inspiring. Words can't describe its size and significance in ancient history and what it means in our modern world. The Acropolis Museum was stuffed full of artifacts and it definitely helps to have a guide point out certain objects and why they're meaningful. There was an issue with a family lagging behind in our group but the guide handled it professionally. The museum also had an excavation site located at the lower level open for visitors. Another fascinating site to visit and part of the entry fee.

Could have been better - Great tour, however the guide was difficult to understand at times as she spoke so softly. It might have been better if we had those earpieces to listen to her.

Good - but could have been better - The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable but as this was a group tour there was very little personal interaction with the guide She also spoke quite rapidly which at times made the commentary difficult to understand. The tour overall was very interesting and informative but was quite rushed at times which was a bit of an issue given the amount of climbing (steps) involved and the group demographic (ie less agile people got left behind). The earpiece audio communications was also pretty useless at the top due to interference from the wind - this should have been better.
