Great day - Our guide was amazing. She was very well-versed and made it very informative and enjoyable. I am an avid walker, so it was enjoyable for me. Make sure you wear good shoes and bring water.

Modern tour connects you to Ancient Greece - Amazing tour leader, taught the group about Greek history, touched on mythology/religion and how interconnected worldwide languages are. She got right to the heart of the key aspects along the tour as well as relating history to our current world experience. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

A remarkable experience! - Our tour guide, Christina (I hope I got her name right?) was amazing! Not only did she have so much historical knowledge of Greece, the history and myths of Acropolis and Parthenon, and the ancient structures at the site and inside the museum, she also answered all our questions and was patient with us, letting us take our time to enjoy the views as we ascend to the top. We had someone in our group who has mobility issues and she made sure the person wasn’t left behind, constantly checking to make sure the person was okay, and just slowing down long enough for everyone to stay together and others to catch up. Somehow she managed to do all that with hundreds of sightseers and visitors in a 21 degrees Celsius temperature! We truly appreciate her kindness and the kindness of everyone in the (purple) group. It was a remarkable experience!

Excellent Acropolis tour - Our tour guide Yanas was very professional and shared great information at the Acropolis. He also managed the group well so that the walk up didn’t seem difficult. At the museum, he did a great job translating the exhibits to what we had just seen at the Acropolis and Parthenon. He helped narrow the focus so that it was a meaningful and memorable experience.

10 out of 10, especially with Alexia as guide. - Would highly recommend this to your itinerary for Athens, and would insist on requesting the tour guide Alexia. As an educated archaeologist, welcoming, and highly passionate guide could not have gotten any more lucky to experience this amazing wonder of the world with Alexia.

Best time to visit Acropolis - I was spellbound with Madeline Miller's "Circe" and the tragic drama of Patroclus’ death in “Achilles.” Then I got hooked to History Hit's "The Ancients" podcast, which I regularly listen to on my way to work, igniting a torch for Greek stories of the Olympian gods who governed earth, sea, and sky. Now, standing beneath the Athenian sun, I'm finally walking the stories I devoured and the podcasts I listen to while driving. Today, I climb the sacred rock, where the Parthenon, Pericles' masterpiece, stands magnificently in honor of Athena's patronage. Every weathered stone breathes myths, every step a pilgrimage. I feel privileged and grateful to be in the exact place where these stories originate. Best time to come is winter when the crowds are few and the weather is cool. I can’t imagine enjoying this under the scorching sun with dense crowds elbowing you left and right.

Good walking tour with so much history to learn - Good tour, very pleasant tour guide. Only complaint is we had to switch our tour date due to flight delays. Viator was very helpful, but the company actually giving the tours was not. They let us in, but we’re less than pleasant about it and we didn’t end up getting the lunch that we paid for as part of the tour.
