Exceptional - Maria was an awesome tour guide with loads of knowledge. I would highly recommend this tour. As this is ancient site, there are many steps up to the Acropolis with no hand rails. Walking sticks would be a good idea or a cane

Our tour guide was Helen... - Our tour guide was Helen (in Greek it is different) She was amazing!!!! This was a fabulous tour! We started in the museum and later walked the Acropolis. She was so informative and interesting! Answered any questions we had, gave the group a couple short rest breaks. It is a lot of walking but easier than I thought it would be. So much wonderful history to learn- breathtaking to see all this in person! Would do this tour again in a heartbeat❤️

Great tour! - Our family loved our tour of the Acropolis! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the site, adding stories of Greek Mythology and modern facts to educate the group on the area. The meeting spot was easy to find and a close walk to the actual site. Highly recommend.

Excellent Tour!!! - Excellent Tour!!! This was absolutely the best tour that we took out of all of the tours we were on in Greece. The guide was fantastic! His knowledge was outstanding and he guided us to the perfect picture taking spots. The Book now and pay later option was great. I did this just in case our cruise ship tour times changed. TripAdvisor billed me two days prior to the tour. Don't pass this tour by, it's incredible!
