Athens: Guided Tour of Acropolis and Parthenon Tickets Included

Great tour

Had a great morning tour with Amelia. She was very knowledgeable, informative and mindful of the heat. It was the perfect amount of time to see the acropolis!

Fun tour

Tour was nice. Guide walked a bit fast and was hard to keep track of. Earphones didn’t work very well and made hearing difficult.

Great tour overall

Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic . Other than it being a very warm day we had a great experience .

Fun & Informative

We enjoyed this tour very much! Our tour guide was pleasant and incredibly informative. She paced the walk up nicely so no one fell behind and gave us time to take photos prior to moving forward. An easy way to learn about Athen's historic sites.

Unwilling to assist tourists

I never got to experience the tour. We were 5 minutes late due to vague directions on the meeting place and us not knowing the area. We tried to contact the tour guide but was unsuccessful. When contacting the guide's office (only through the app) we were only told that we were too late. There was no way to contact the by phone and no way to catch up to the group. Not any options unless you know the area we'll. Money wasted. Consider other touring companies.

Fantastic tour

It was a great visit to one of the most famous places in history. A place I had learned about as a child and never dreamed I’d get to see in person. A good tour that gave good details.

Great tour!

Our guide, Alexandra, was wonderful, so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject. I certainly recommend this tour of the Acropolis

L

We were 15 minutes late because our first taxi dump us off in a random location because we weren't a big enough fair. It was a mess. I was in communication with the tour group and they left without us. I understand you have to keep somewhat of a schedule but it definitely added to a very frustrating day. Oh... losing $200 for the tour was the cherry on top of a very frustrating morning.

DON NOT BOOK WITH WALKS IN EUROPE

DO NOT BOOK WALKS IN EUROPE SMALL GROUP ACROPOLIS TOUR We waited for 30 minutes and stayed afterwards for 30 minutes. Lots of other tours there. Asked where our tour guide was (they knew the tour). Said they were always late… Never connected but when I messaged them and asked for a refund (we were super disappointed) they refused. Saying they were there. We were at the right spot, right time. Thankfully we booked with Getmyguide and they refunded us and were very understanding. It was around CND $500 for 5 and it was supposed to be our highlight of Athens. Understand stuff happens. But they (walks in Europe) were very condescending in their reply and refusal to refund. I travel a lot, do lots of tours but will never use it recommend them to anyone!! Not to be vindictive (never leave a bad review) but just a warning!!!

Must see when in Athens

ok experience , large group , place was crowded , our guide did her best but basically it was 1.5 hrs of tour. nice to have our tickets purchased by the guide ahead of time . It is an impressive site for sure.

Great Tour - Would recommend!

Great Tour and highly recommend going earlier in the day as the later it went the busier it got. The tour guide was fantastic and very informative. It was great to skip the lines as well. Beautiful place. Wear good sneakers with treads as the marble can be slippery and its obviously up hill/

Parthenon

She was very knowledgeable of the site and very proud of her city. The fact that you want an entire dissertation is ridiculous and has nothing to do with the tour guides service.

SCAM

This tour was a complete scam! DO NOT BUY THIS! The tour guide never showed up and still charged me and now I'm disputing this charge with my bank.

You want to take this tour!

We loved our tour! Our guide was fun and very knowledgeable! She pointed out so many things we would have missed. I also loved that she was happy to take photos of us and also included a bonus photo !

See Acropolis with valeria

Valeria (not sure of spelling of her name) she was ver informative and helpful. She kept the group moving and made sure we were safe. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to enjoy the tour the Acropolis.

Highly Recommend this tour with Maria!

Our tour guide Maria was so knowledgeable and sweet! Really enjoyed walking through the Acropolis with her! I learned so much and was able to get great photos of the experience!

Highly recommend this tour as the lines for tickets were extremely long. Guide was brilliant.Vicky

Our guide Vicky, was extremely knowledgeable, she kept the group moving along but introduced many rest stops on the way while she explained what we were seeing. The whisper audio system worked very well indeed, quality was perfect. We saw much larger groups that didn't seem to be able to keep up. We were just 19 people. There was a delay of some of the group due to heavy traffic. Vicky handled it so well, communicating closely and directing them to where we were so they could continue with us. Highly recommend.

Amazing!!

One of the best tours on our trip. Very informative! So much information! Took a cab to the meeting place. Taxi driver Nicholas was very informative

Wonderful experience

Our tour guide, Becky, was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a terrific and thorough tour. She was punctual and friendly, and showed us exactly the things we wanted to see. Her guidance made all the difference in the quality of our acropolis experience. Perhaps best of all was that with her handling the tickets, and knowing how things worked, we were able to skip the lines entirely! The only improvement would have been the same advice that we would give any tour guide: always face your group when speaking, and if referencing something behind you, gesture in that direction, but keep facing your attendees. We highly recommend this tour and tour guide, and send our thanks to Becky for a wonderful experience.

Tour guide was excellent...

Tour guide was excellent - very knowledgeable and so nice. She made a lot of effort to make it an enjoyable tour.

Vicky was fantastic!

The view from the top is incredible. Vicky was awesome - very friendly and knowledgeable. We took enough breaks to make the climb manageable. Vicky was always ready to be the photographer for anyone who wanted a photo with anything in the background. A great experience that taught us a few things about this great site and Athens in general.

Wonderful Experience

It was a fantastic tour. Lisa was awesome ! She shared lots of interesting facts and history about the Acropolis.

Good experience

Wonderful! Our guide was knowledgeable and paced the tour well to accommodate different physical abilities.

Incredible trip

Vicky was an incredible tour guide, we had a really lovely morning looking round The Acropolis. It’s definitely worth the money having a guide, we learnt so much. I would recommend going on the early tour before it gets busy. The views are fabulous, we were very lucky with the weather. Big thank you to Vicky for sharing her knowledge and passion with us.

High above the clouds

The knowledge of our guide was phenomenal & I loved the alternative stories shared with us as to how history unfolded in Greek culture.

Excellent Tour

Our Tour Guide Lisee was very informative and knowledgeable about the Acropolis. She was able to clearly describe and inform us of all the interesting history of the site.

Nice to visit Acropolis.

Our tour guide was very good, gave history and seem concern about the ability for my wife's long walk. The amount of walking was moderate but was able to make it. Breaks were just right for listening to the history and bathroom break was just perfect. Sometimes the headsets would lose connections but otherwise it was a very nice tour and enjoyed it.

Great experience

This was really a fulfilling tour for the Acropolis. Our guide Vicki was very kind and knowledgeable. She told us all the history with all the details and took great photos of us. We’re glad to choose Walks in Europe company and highly recommend this tour.

Acropolis visit is a MUST

Tour guide was very informative…. She was knowledgeable and pleasant.. Took time for everyone in the group….

Informative and fascinating!

Our 2 hour tour flew by. Frosso was patient , professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She answered every question thoroughly. She very diplomatically handled the late arrivals and the rude rule breakers.Her passion for her history and culture shine through, as did her sense of humour.

An excellent tour of the Acropolis by a knowledgeable guide

A very knowledgeable guide, who enhanced our experience of visiting the Acropolis and Parthenon. She communicated in perfect English and we had no difficulty understanding her delivery, which was entertaining and never dull. The communication equipment worked very well and it was possible to continue to listen to her while taking photographs. She provided a great deal of information covering the history of the site, key people involved and the role of the Greek Gods in shaping ancient Greek life.. She took us to specific spots on the Acropolis which provided good photographic opportunities. The tour lasted the full 2 hours stated in the prospectus.

Must do tour of Acropolis

Maria made the foot tour worth every penny. Her knowledge of Greek culture and history is beyond anything we've ever experienced. She's been doing this for a long time and it shows. Anyone traveling to Athens I highly recommend this tour and specifically ask for Maria. It is a foot tour so wear comfortable shoes. And the weather was perfect!! 😆

Good tour

Guide Kelly was knowledgeable and accommodating Loved her stories about Greek mythology Not recommended for those not able to walk up and there was no elevator option at 1 pm tour Bring water!! the museum was a great way to end tying all the history together Plenty of time to take pictures too

great picture perfect moment

beyond excellent! the tour was perfect. i was nervous i wouldn't be able to make it up to the top but with everyone's encouragement i did . The picture perfect views were worth every step!

Perfect Acropolis tour

Our guide was lovely, very informative and fun. The tour started on time and she was considerate of me and several others who were slower due to age and medical reasons. We had ample time for photos and to look at everything. Definitely a must do tour in Athens

Great Time

Our guide was wonderful! I was concerned about the walk up but she brought us up gradually with several stops along the way.

Very helpful in busy times.

The tour was great, easy to find. Our guide was knowledgeable and VERY helpful. We learned a lot, and enjoyed the scenery.

Very informative tour

Eva was a very knowledgeable tour guide. She provided lots of interesting information and pointed out areas that were good for photos. It was very hot and she did a good job of building in stops in the shade as we worked our way up the acropolis.

Hotter than Hades

Extremely hot that made the day very uncomfortable. Guide could have shortened her dialogue in the early parts to get us up top faster knowing the extreme heat and crowds. She didn’t allow us time to take individual pictures in front of the Parthenon. Well worth the visit but on a cooler day
