Acropolis & Parthenon Walking Tour with Optional Acropolis Museum

Great

My tour time was changed and honestly thank God it was, I do not know if I could have stood during the lunch heat. Dora was a great guide but it was very windy on her microphone and I couldn’t understand most of it through the earphones. We stopped and the most important places throughout the climb.

Amazing tour!

Nikos was amazing at explaining so much about the history of Athens. He made sure we were always stopped and resting in a shaded area for him to explain more about the history and the sites we were seeing. The whole process was easy to follow and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the Acropolis!

Excellent tour!

Nikos was a fantastic guide with great knowledge to share with us all. The whispers made it easy to follow!

Takes the stress and brings ancient Greece to life!

Don't go without a guide. The Acropolis was brought to life and our amazing guide Irene was the best we have had anywhere in the world.

Nothing special for me

Shorter than expected. I didn’t enjoy the guides sarcasm when explaining mythical creatures or gods.

Good value and info

We took the early access tour on June 1. The gentleman who was a historian and scholar was knowledgeable and patient. You really get excellent background and in depth information. The audio headsets they provide are a "must have" for tours in my opinion. Without them people in the back of a crowd lose out. My daughter who was a little tired, was able to sit away from our guide at times and still hear the details. My only warning about this tour is as follows: We chose the the early access one to beat the crowds, but this does not entirely work. 1. Everyone knows about getting there early. 2. Because the tour pauses and describes many stops along the way up, by the time you actually get to the Parthenon it's no longer early - It was about 10:30 and crowded. So if you really want to avoid the crowds for photos in particular, don't get a tour, go up by yourself at open or late in the day. I almost considered going back another day without a tour just for clear photos of the temples.

The tour guide was great,...

The tour guide was great, learnt so much and spent the right amount of time at the different spots of the tour.

Go directly with tour operators

I think the tour was excellent, the tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. I think your platform that lists the tour is terrible, confusing and inaccurate. The tour began at 8:45 not 8am as you listed it.

Nice tour

Seeing the acropolis and the Parthenon in person and having the history explained to you made it very enjoyable. Also having the whispers that the company supplied made it easy to hear our guide.

Worthwhile great views and history

Our guide Angela was fantastic and so knowledgeable. She clearly is so passionate about what she does and this shows through in how she communicates. Glad we used a guide as we would have missed so much otherwise. It was so busy we went in a Saturday when a lot of the cruise ships come so avoid that day if possible. Marble steps are step and slippy so wear good shoes!!

Marvellous.

I’d highly recommend everyone to take this tour. Because there’s so much to see on the Acropolis it’s essential to take a tour like this. Our group was very lucky to have what must be one of the best guides in Athens. Angela is her name. She was absolutely brilliant and was so personable and knowledgeable it made the tour so interesting.

Great tour

Great tour Marina was lovely very informative. It’s hottt at the top of the Acropolis. She also gave us a mini tour of the ruins around the Acropolis. Highly recommend. You may not understand everything without a tour guide.

Great experience

Great info from tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about Greek History and mythology. Thank you.
