Excellent experience ascending the Acropolis. - This was a wonderful tour made even better by our guide Simon (Kimon). With a background in architecture, Simon provided information throughout the tour from both a historical and architectural perspective while making it both fun and educational. We did the morning tour and it proved to be less crowded than later in the afternoon. The museum was also a delightful, comfortable experience. Highly recommended tour and would book again the next time we want to experience the Acropolis and all it has to offer.

Outstanding - Our tour guide was excellent!!!! She was a wealth of information about our tour. Highly recommend her again for this tour. One suggestion: the coordinators should have a sign that identifies they are the tour guide/coordinator for Viator. Meeting in public spaces and businesses sometimes it hard to identify when they are there.
