Early Access to the Acropolis & Old Town Guided Walking Tour

Highly recommend!

We did the Early Access to the Acropolis & Old Town Guided Walking Tour at 8:15 am May 29/24.The meeting point (Key Tours) was easy to find & check-in was quite well organized. Please be aware that your Acropolis timed entry ticket (20E) must be purchased in addition to the tour price. I purchased mine on line about a month prior. I THINK you can purchase them at Key Tours upon check-in but not entirely sure, so please check with the tour company before you presume this. Our group was divided by languages so our English-only group was only 10 persons (which reduced to 6 after the Acropolis portion, when we continued on to the Old Town portion of the tour). Our guide was outstanding. He was passionate about Greek history & ensured he provided us with enough history to understand all aspects of what we were seeing during the tour. In addition, he took great care to ensure the group stayed together & remained safe on the slippery terrain, & he was expert at finding shady spots where we could all stand while he spoke. Be aware that folks with mobility issues would likely find this tour too challenging. The tour was highly educational & interesting & very enjoyable. I would highly recommend it to others.

Acropolis’s visit

Our guide was excellent The whole experience was great ! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being able to see the Acropolis close up

Good day in Athens

Very professional. Great job. And enjoy it very much……..will continue to use your service. Not much more to said…

Nice way to spend a morning

The tour guide Christina (hope this the right spelling, sorry if not!) was very knowledgeable but got the balance right. I learned enough without it feeling like a history lecture. We got a good amount of alone time to do whatever, pictures etc, too. The pace is leisurely so you don't have to be super fit to join. And getting in early is a good idea due to the crowds and heat later on.

It’s a definite yes from me

Well organized and friendly environment! The small group helped a lot as we had the opportunity to hear interesting things, while having a good time meeting new people. Thanks for the wonderful tour!

Great experience - Highly recomended

We had a great experience with our guide Kostas. We got a lot of information about the Acropolis and the surround area. We took a walk to places of the ancient Arhens that was impossible for us to discover on our own. It is a highly recomended tour and the best way to visit the Acropolis.

The Best walking tour ever!

Excellent service! Amazing Experience! Highly recommended!!!! The best way to know Athens and its history

I love Athens

The tour started at 8:30 from key tour offices. From the first minute I had the dealing that it would be ages at experience. Mrs Katie Liapi was so kind with great humor and so deep knowledge about Greek history and mythology. Acropolis is a must to see but also the smooth walk around small streets around old Athens was amazing

A walk back to history

I joined the tour with friends from Belgium , France and UK. It was an unforgettable experience . Our guide Katia was a treasure of knowledge and so passionate with great taste of humor. After Acropolis visit we walk around Plaka , Anafiotika Roman Agora . She shows so many hidden places with amazing stories . Highly recommended!!!!

Highly recommended walking tour

It was a great experience. Parthenon is a must-see monument. The walk in old Plaka was very good and our guide Georgia narrate as a lot of mythology and funny stories. We visited also hidden places difficult to discover by our selves.

Not an early morning tour; Do not book

This is NOT an early morning tour. Viator subcontracts to KeyTours who does NOT have such a tour. The Acropolis opens at 8:00; we got there after 11:00 and had to deal with hordes of tourists and school children. We were very disappointed to miss the early morning light for photos. Viatour uses a bait and switch tactic to sell this tour.

Terrible!

Bad. We hired a guided tour in Spanish. A few minutes before the scheduled time they sent us a message that there was a 40 minute delay. We arrived at the agreed time and they confirmed us for a later tour but in English, but my partner doesn't speak that language so it was a total waste. Those from the agency blamed Trip Advisor. Terrible!

Attention aux annonces trompeuses

Je suis très déçu d'avoir pris ce tour et surtout d'avoir payé 117.50 $ canadien seulement pour un guide qu'on ne pouvait pas suivre à moins de payer un autre 40 Euro (pour 2) sur place, pour avoir accès au terrain de l'acropole alors qu'on mentionne dans le titre et les détails "Accès anticipé à la visite guidée à pied de l'Acropole d'Athènes". Même si c’est indiqué dans le forfait que les frais d’entrée sont exclus cela suppose que c’est une option alors que ce n’est pas le cas, c’est obligatoire sinon tu payes un guide pour rien. L'annonce est certainement fausse et trompeuse. Avoir su, je n'aurais jamais acheté ce forfait. Qui payerait pour un guide que tu ne peux pas suivre ? Attention, je recommande à tous ceux et celles qui lisent ce message de ne pas se faire prendre comme nous et ne pas acheter ce forfait.

Inolvidable

La experiencia me resultó espléndida, magnífica. Quisiera resaltar el trabajo de la Guía Atina quien, en todo momento, demostró no sólo ser una profesional de primera sino una persona encantadora y empatica. Sus explicaciones y relatos fueron una clase magistral con la cual aprovechamos al máximo la visita. Gracias Atina!

Excelente Tour

La guía m conoce muy bien la historia greca y la cultura ateniense. En este caso la Acropolis fue descriptiva excelentemente de forma sencilla y profunda a la vez. Luego de la Acropolis hicimos el recorrido por el barrio y alrededores y también fue interesante y lindo de ver. La guía tiene un nombre griego que no recuerdo, muchas gracias a ella y a keytours

Reservamos visita a...

Reservamos visita a primera hora con guía en español y por error de viator nos reservaron un día que solo había guía en inglés. Afortunadamente, el operador griego fue muy resolutivo y nos metió en otra visita con guía en español aunque más tarde, con más calor.

La mejor manera de...

La mejor manera de visitar, un guía genial como EVAN lo hace ameno e interesante. Muy muy recomendable.
