Acropolis tour - Our tour was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable on the Greek history of the Acropolis. One should know the bathrooms are closed up top. The bathrooms down below have VERY long lines so be sure to go before your tour begins.

10/10 Would do again! - It was a decent amount of walking and up an incline with some steep parts and stairs as well. It wasn’t too slippery for us on a nice day but if it’s raining then it could be extra slick as well. It was a very great experience, our tour guide was very informed and gave us a great overview of the history of the area and culture. She was very lovely and made the tour easy to follow along with and gave plenty of opportunities and tips of when and where to take pictures!

Interesting and thought provoking tour. - The guide (I think her name was Eva - sorry) was excellent. It was a three hour tour but didn’t feel like it. Eva? made the tour interesting and thought provoking. She amazed me with the knowledge she shared. The tour ran slightly over as Eva wanted to show and explain areas in the museum that she didn’t want us to miss out on. Eva was very passionate to ensure we enjoyed the tour. It was great to be in a small group. Eva continuely checked we were all present 😀. And would check in with us to see if there were any questions we had. Eva pointed out great photo opportunities which we were grateful for. Thank you.

Educational and Fun - Our guide had a great personality and a deep knowledge of the Acropolis and Greek history. We hit all the major points on the site and in the museum with time to savor the details. A fun way to spend the morning!

Great guide…Lisa was amazing. She was very friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable - Great tour overall—highly recommend! Lisa was fantastic: incredibly friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The timing was spot on as well; the 10am start was perfect for making the most of the day without feeling rushed.

Never showed and did not cancel. - The guide never showed up and I had to call and the person said they contacted us but never did. They explained it was because of the rain warning? The tour guide was from walk Europe and I do not recommend.
