Acropolis & Plaka Neighbourhood Private Tour with Licensed Expert

Wonderful tour

Great tour of the Acropolis and downtown Athens! Having a guide for this site is a must! The tour of Plaka was great also…a lot of history and a knowledgeable guide was a essential

Acropolis and Plaka tour

The views were amazing from the Acropolis! Our guide Vicki was superb and was ver knowledgeable about Greek history. As older couples she was very conscientious about our limits with walking (gave us plenty of time to sit in the shade) and secured an elevator to get to the top of the Acropolis.

Best Way to Experience the Acropolis

Oh, My Goodness! Eva, my tour guide, was beyond amazing! I planned this tour to help my first day in Athens (solo traveler here). I landed a few hours before this tour. The timing was perfection. Eva provided the knowledge that I craved that allowed me to feel immersed in the Acropolis. I was able to ask questions without hesitancy. The bonus was she took pictures of me. This warmed my heart more than I can say. I felt as though I was there with a friend. By the end of the tour, I truly felt as though I made my first Greek friend.

A great and unique experience

We booked a private tour to acropolis & acropolis museum and we had wonderful experience. The communication with the agency were fast and and effective and they provide us with all the information for booking an locations. The guide (Anna) were really prepared, patience and available for any questions. She explained us architecture and history as well as tips and Greek mythology. Very recommended !

Tour of Acropolis and Plaka

Took a morning hike up to the top of the Acropolis and we were rewarded with an amazing view of Athens. The Greek root acro- literally means "high;" thus, an acropolis is basically a "high city". Ancient cities often grew up around a high point, in order that they could easily be defended. Our guide (I think her name was Lisa) was very friendly, knowledgeable and went at a good pace for us. Afterwards we went walking through the neighborhood Anafiotika - an amazing small part of Plaka neighborhood, just beneath the Acropolis. Walking the tiny curved alleys, it’s easy to get lost - both figuratively and literally! We enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant and ordered salad and fresh fish.

Amazing informative and efficient/effective tour of the Acropolis and its museum

Eva was outstanding in her knowledge of the Acropolis both from a historical as well as philosophical perspective which provided us with a holistic view of the Greek culture and people over several years. She was extremely accommodating as my husband does not walk a lot so she made sure we took our time walking and resting in the shade while she shared her knowledge! She knows how to really navigate the Acropolis Museum to make our tour the most informative and efficient time among so many people! Would highly recommend Eva as a tour guide- she is fantastic!

Amazing!

We had such a great experience! The tour was perfect for our short visit. It was amazing how we were able to cover so many periods of Greek history in such a short amount of time— all while staying in the shade. Vicky was so knowledgeable, the content was really interesting & insightful. We would high recommend!

Very informative

We received a lovely tour with tons of information. We were given lots of information but asked if we wanted more or less and I love the enthusiasm for the knowledge she was sharing

Exceptional...The best Guide ever.

This was an exceptional experience. Our tour guide, Betty, was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The whole site is overwhelming but Betty really breaks it down and explains so much. It was a pleasure to learn from her and spend the time with her. If we were going to do another tour we would have definitely booked Betty!!

great way to go your own pace

guide was well educated on the area. taught us much . very enjoyable ! had an answer to every question.

Excellent experience

Our guide was excellent. She asked us first thing what kind of tour experience we would like to have, do we like to walk fast, do we like to stop often etc... She brought the history to Athens to life. We enjoyed her company and the tour ended with her ordering authentic Greek food at a lovely restaurant in Plaka :)

Extremely well versed in history, kind professional

Betty and the team at Warm Penguin were fantastic. Betty was a veritable book of history, it was the most informative and interesting historical tour we have experienced in Europe. We highly recommend Betty, it was worth every euro!

“Must do” in Athens

Viki was an amazing guide, friendly, helpful and extremely informed, told us about much aspects of the ancient and recent history of Greece. Explained everything we asked about. Very versatile in three languages (we’re a mixed family). My little daughter slipped and had a little accident in the end of the tour, our guide was extremely helpful with this too and took great care of us. Highly recommended.

Great guide

Great guide - super knowledgeable. She kept my children focused and engaged. She is very knowledgeable.

Wonderful, informative guide makes this tour the best

We had the pleasure to accompany our guide on this tour of the Acropolis and the museum. She provided local, historical, and interesting history from a natives view point. Absolutely wonderful.

Athens Tour

We had a great tour and learned many things about Athens. The tour started early, beating all of the cruise ships which allowed our guide to show us parts of Athens that others didn't get to see. We actually got to see how the city was built up one century over the others. She did a great job keeping the information interesting for my older son who was really into the details but yet exciting enough for our other two kids who weren't into all of the historical details but more interested in the experience. I would highly recommend this guide and tour

Amazing tour of the Acropolis and museum

This was an amazing walking tour of the Acropolis and museum. Pickup was arranged at our cruise ship port which took us directly to the Acropolis. We were met by our tour guide, Betty, who had in-depth knowledge of the entire history of the area including the museum. She was able to avoid the crowds which resembled a stampede by the time we were leaving. Definitely recommend! Ron K

Super guide and super visit!

I booked this private tour to be able to enjoy an expert guide who knew how to explain the places and history of the Acropolis and Plaka well and in an engaging way. I was fully satisfied because Marita was very, very good: thorough, patient, nice, full of information and curiosity. The price is absolutely correct for the service offered, i.e. over 3 hours of personalized visit (skip-the-line access tickets to the Acropolis not included). Thanks Maritq!

Excursión muy...

Excursión muy interesante, nuestra guía Theoni, muy preparada y amable. Acertó en realizar primero la visita del museo y después la Acrópolis. Muy recomendable.
