Acropolis, don't miss this one! - The history of the Acropolis is amazing. The walk is intense, but so worth it. The museum is full of artifacts. Our guide was wonderful. She was funny and loved the history of her country.

Ancient history and stories of the gods combine for an enjoyable tour - Excellent tour of the Acropolis and amazing archeology museum. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable combining the myths with facts to give you the basis for the mythical stories. She really took care of the group. Note this can be a strenuous activity for the climbing up and down the acropolis hill and on a hot day bring plenty of water. There is an elevator for those with mobility issues but it is small. Highly recommend the tour

Hike up to the Acropolis is worth every step. - It’s a bit of a challenge to go up the walkway to the top for those who aren’t in good health, or out of shape. But, it’s worth the effort when you reach the top. Our guide was fantastic and provided a wonderful description of the history and culture of Athens that created an advanced society that gave birth to the concept of democracy, artistic expression and architecture which has shaped the world we live in today. The museum is phenomenal and draws you into the engineering genius of the Parthenon and the artistic genius which is demonstrated by the sculptures that decorated the walls. By all means, go.

Worth having a guide in such a busy and historical place - So much information! Eva was a great guide. She is very informed and used our time wisely. The headsets are so valuable in a place like this. She navigated us very well in a crowded place. Be prepared to be on your feet walking on hard surfaces, up and down hills and stairs for 3 hrs.
