A wonderful and professional tour of the Acropolis - I was in Athens to attend a course with some colleagues, and my partner booked us a guided tour with Athens Historic Experience: an incredible experience! The guide was knowledgeable, professional and passionate. He didn’t just give us dates and facts, but also explained the political, social and cultural developments in Greece, and in Athens in particular. A critical and ethical view of history, as well as being extremely knowledgeable. What’s more, the guide was also friendly and showered us with sweets ; ) Perfect organisation, punctual, we didn’t have to queue at all and we had an authentic experience. Well done, Athens Historic Experience.

Exceptional Guide to COUPLE FROM PA - Our guide was so extremely informative and enthusiastic about not only explaining history but also teaching the values in this world. He was spot on and so entertaining. We were so extremely lucky to experience this history with such a dedicated, high energy, respectful, and decent guy. He should be a teacher and if you let him guide you, you will see that he already is an educator. He knows what happened in every age, era, and place. What a lesson. We will always look for him and recommend him for tours in the future. Thanks for a fabulous afternoon! MEGAN and MATT STEVENS

Personable, Knowledgable & Down to Earth! - Harris was exceptional. His knowledge of Greek history left me speechless. I learned so much from his “history lesson.” I enjoyed every bit of it! He is extremely personable & kind! We had a medical emergency & could not reschedule our tour with him, so he met us while we had dinner & wine. He wouldn’t even drink with us! He sat with his laminated cards and taught us so much! I am very grateful for this opportunity. I highly recommend Harris to guide you around the acropolis. You will see so much more than the ancient ruins. You will get a feel for the historic times and an appreciation beyond measure! Thank you Harris!
