Everything about Athens and Greece by a historian - Our tour guide Dimitres was exceptional. His has a degree in history and he is so knowledgeable about everything we asked him. We had a great experience visiting the Acropolis and the museum. Our family of four learned so much about the Acropolis, Parthenon and Greek history. He explained to us the history behind the pieces of artifact in the museum; most interestingly, some of the mythology behind them. Dimitres was friendly and down to earth. It didn’t take long before my family was comfortable with him and asking him questions. I strongly recommend Dimitres to those who really wants a deeper dive into the Greek history and its nitty gritty details.

Good basic tour - Short, informative trip up the Acropolis. Our guide did a great job of explaining the site and pointing out some highlights we would not have found on our own. The hill is tall (150+ meters) and steep, but the pace of the tour made it an easy climb.

Must do experience of athens - Jordan was very knowledgeable and not only talked about the history of the place but also how it fitted into the overall Greek history. Wonderful experience that brought the place to life!

Fantastic orator guide. I... - Fantastic orator guide. I think I would do without a guide next time though and go audio just because I can be faster than the slower group. Overall though she was a great and knowledgeable guide

Good, but the malfunctioning headphones were frustrating. - The tour was hosted by an archeology doctoral student who was lovely and insightful. The tour was greatly enhanced by her commentary. Although she used a microphone and we all had connected headsets, they did not function well and it proved fairly frustrating. I suspect that the headset issues are already known to the company.

Guided Walking Tour of The Acropolis - This was a guided walking tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and related Greek history to something that was familiar to all. We had moments to stop and take pictures and ask any questions. The views were amazing. It was a 2 hour tour which was just enough time and then we had the option to explore or go back to something that may have been of interest.
