First time in Athens - My tour guide Maria was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and had excellent conversations with all of us during walking tour. Maria stopped and shared many different stories about Athens.

Everything about Athens and Greece by a historian - Our tour guide Dimitres was exceptional. His has a degree in history and he is so knowledgeable about everything we asked him. We had a great experience visiting the Acropolis and the museum. Our family of four learned so much about the Acropolis, Parthenon and Greek history. He explained to us the history behind the pieces of artifact in the museum; most interestingly, some of the mythology behind them. Dimitres was friendly and down to earth. It didn’t take long before my family was comfortable with him and asking him questions. I strongly recommend Dimitres to those who really wants a deeper dive into the Greek history and its nitty gritty details.

Good basic tour - Short, informative trip up the Acropolis. Our guide did a great job of explaining the site and pointing out some highlights we would not have found on our own. The hill is tall (150+ meters) and steep, but the pace of the tour made it an easy climb.

Fantastic orator guide. I... - Fantastic orator guide. I think I would do without a guide next time though and go audio just because I can be faster than the slower group. Overall though she was a great and knowledgeable guide

Good, but the malfunctioning headphones were frustrating. - The tour was hosted by an archeology doctoral student who was lovely and insightful. The tour was greatly enhanced by her commentary. Although she used a microphone and we all had connected headsets, they did not function well and it proved fairly frustrating. I suspect that the headset issues are already known to the company.

Do not recommend - Our guide did not have her microphone close to her mouth so we could not hear part of what she said. Very dry information, not made interesting discussing the mythology part like we’ve had before at Acropolis.

Almost no time at Acropolis - Our guide was Hermes. He was nice and knowledgeable but he made at least five stops on the way up the Palatine Hill before we got to the Acropolis. Each stop was around fifteen minutes long and he would explain the backstory of ruins along the hill. While interesting, this cut deeply into the time we had at the Acropolis and Parthenon. When we finally reached it, he acknowledged that he was running five minutes behind already but continued talking. It wasn't until the Acropolis staff rang the bell signaling closing time that he released us to take pictures and explore. Of course, this meant that we only had a few minutes to take pictures. It was very disappointing and I would have greatly preferred going straight to the top first and having time at the actual site which is what we came for.
