Great tour of the Acropolis - We really enjoyed our private family tour of the Acropolis with Georgiana. She was so kind and a great guide. Although it was hot and crowded she made the best of it. She took extra extra time for my mom who is 80 and was very slow walking. The tour took 30 minutes longer because of this. We very much appreciated all her efforts! And we all enjoyed our tour of the Acropolis!

Wonderful family tour of the Acropolis - Our guide was absolutely wonderful. We had 3 children ages 3, 4 and 5 and she brought stories along with her about the Gods and included pictures for them to visualize them. She was patient, lovely and created a great experience for us.

Amazing experience for families - This was exactly what I was hoping for when it came to tour Acropolis with my family! Our guide, Ava, was amazing. She was so sweet and shared so much information with us. We were traveling with our two girls, ages 10 and 1.5. Big age gap, and Ava was so understanding of our little one wanting to play in the dirt at one point. Our oldest daughter has recently learned about Greek goddesses and got the chance to ask questions and learn more about them. I learned so much fascinating history about Greece myself. I'm so glad this was an option as we knew a regular tour would not work for us but we had to see Acropolis while in Athens. Highly recommend for families!

Best tour guide! - This tour was amazing! Our tour guide, Dimitris, was the most informative and captivating guide we have ever had (and we have taken plenty of tours in Europe). As an archaeologist himself, there is no question he could not answer. Since I had not been able to book our acropolis tickets ahead of time, we switched to a tour of the (nearly empty) museum at 9 am, taking all the time we needed to understand the site. The 3rd floor of the museum is a simulation of the Parthenon with the real marbles (when available). We also discovered other significant founds from the digs. Later during the day (as the sun was lower in the sky), we were able to visit the site on our own. This was perfect for our teenagers and us!

Brought history to life - We absolutely loved our tour of the acropolis with our wonderful and very knowledgeable guide. She did an excellent job of bringing the the history and context of what we were seeing to life, my teenage son is not normally keen on sightseeing but said it was the best bit of our trip this time!

Amazing guide - We had an amazing experience with our guide through the acropolis. She was wonderful with the kids and came prepared with a book to help show and explain the different gods and their stories. She had a wealth of knowledge of the gods, the area and the architecture. We never felt rushed and there was lots of time to rest, stop, ask questions or whatever we needed. The kids loved the stories of the gods. We can’t recommend one of these tours enough, it really made our family vacation incredible.

A+ Acropolis Tour - Our family of four (2 boys aged 8y and 12y) had a terrific morning. Our guide, Antigone, was super knowledgeable. She had stories to keep our 8yo entertained and enough facts to keep our history-buff 12yo on his toes. Perfectly paced to take in the Acropolis in 2h.
