Best way to see the Acropolis. - After using my $30 sign up credit, this tour cost me $1. Best $1 ever. I took the city tour followed by the Acropolis with the Acropolis museum, all guided. This is the best way to familiarize with the civic area and visit the Acropolis. Cheapest with the best tour guides. We did skip the lines. (Summertime may be different) If you are on a cruise, take a taxi or the metro to the meeting point and don't waste money on an expensive excursion.

Andrea was knowledgeable and delightful! - Andrea was a superb guide! She knew so much about every aspect of our trip, from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to the Acropolis to the Acropolis Museum. She told many funny stories and was able to make the ancients come alive with her explanations and stories. I would recommend her service to anyone!

Wonderful tour with a wonderful guide - We did the 6-hour the Athens city tour, Acropolis& Acropolis Museum tour -- a full day, but totally engaging. Our guide, Apollon, was fantastic: knowledgeable, in love with his city and its history and eager to share it. He was a great storyteller, and with his stories made history and ancient people come alive. He was full of little known facts on word derivations, scientific abilities of the times, etc. He was also closely attentive to the needs and interests of his group: including children in his stories, alert to the needs of older tourists or those who might need extra help, without making them feel he was inconveniencing either him or the rest of the group. I highly recommend Apollo and Athens Walking Tours, and we would be delighted to take another tour with Apillon.

Must use Anna as tour guide! You will never regret it. - We did the walking tour that included early entry at the Acropolis, the museum and lunch with a walk around Plakka and nearby areas. Anna was our guide and she was excellent. She had so much knowledge and led us to the pertinent things to look at. As a local, she had so much perspective. I would have never got as much out of the day on my own.

Endless history! - A lovely way to see the city and learn the endless history present! Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We only wish we had more time on top of the acropolis to wander and admire the views before continuing on to the museum.

A tour which was 2/3 quite good - Overall, very good. However, the first portion of the tour was mediocre, at best, which was a "tour" through the subway station with a rapid fire narrative with an assortment of random facts without context or story, followed by a walk through a park with similar disjointed narrative. The tour of the Acropolis and museum was excellent with an engaging guide. Suggest only the Acropolis and museum tour.

Day tour - The start of the starts at the bottom of escalator of the Metra station. If you use Google maps it takes you above the station. Once I figured that out and stopped being frustrated it was very pleasant. Lol! We were in a group of about 12 people and they issued us ear pieces to hear the guide as she talked and explained everything. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of Athens long history and we enjoyed the walk through all the places. After a couple hours we took a break and we went with another guide to tour the acropolis some stayed with the our original guide. The second guide was also nice and knowledgeable. It was harder to hear her on the ear piece. It kept sounding scratchy and when she turned her head away from the microphone I could barely hear her. We had skip the line access to the Acropolis which I thought was a must as seeing the line long like an amusement park ride. But speaking with other people later on I discovered they allow so many people an hour. So once that hour comes they almost get everyone through. At top of the Acropolis seeing the Parthenon and old sights were amazing. It was very windy at the top. The tour was definitely worth it.
