Parthenon tour - Vicki was amazing! Very knowledgeable, especially about the engineering and architecture of the Parthenon. Kept us moving at a relaxing pace but covered so much on a short time. Highly recommend if you want information not realized when looking at the Parthenon.

Excellent Tour! - Excellent tour! Vickie was an amazing tour guide. She was knowledgeable and told us many interesting facts about Athens and the Acropolis! Everyone having a headset to hear her was perfect because these sites are very busy with many groups.

Good Highlights of Athens including the Acropolis and Museum - We enjoyed this tour and thought Dora did an excellent job wrangling 35+ mostly elderly tourists and us around the sights of Athens. She was invaluable when climbing the Acropolis and explained everything so well. Again at the museum she explained a lot and made it all come to life. We wouldn't have got half as much out of it if we had gone on our own. The next day we visited some of the highlights pointed out to us so it was handy to know where they were located after doing the tour.

Acropolis a must see in Athens - We were very impressed with the tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the site of the Acropolis. The information she shared made seeing the Parthenon and the other ruins on the Acropolis a very pleasant experience. Then her guided tour through the museum gave us a much deeper insight as to how the statues and the Parthenon looked 6000 years ago. The walk up to the top was not near as strenuous as we were told by others who had visited the Acropolis. A once in a lifetime experience made possible by the tour guide.

Breathtaking - Unbelievable!!! Wonderful half-day tour. Guide was an encyclopedia of information about Athens/Greece history, ancient and modern. Great job navigating crowds on the Acropolis. Tour Highly recommended.
FOR VIATOR - the climb to the Acropolis was strenuous. No mention of that in your description/information. Recommend adding note that climb to top of the Acropolis is “moderately strenuous” to provide folks a heads up/warning.

The acropolis is strenuous and slippery! - The driver and the tour guide were good. I didn’t go up to the acropolis because I use a cane and it was too many steps and very slippery and very strenuous. I was told in advance by reviews and from the people when they came back down and told me that they’re glad that I didn’t try to go up there. Also, I was told that it was very crowded and one lady was knocked down by someone who was in a rush. I enjoyed the drive-by tour as we saw many places from the outside driving by and the tour got explained to us. Wow they went up to the Acropolis I said in a café, where I had a view of the acropolis and where I was able to get coffee and pastry.
