Acropolis Parthenon Museum experiekce - It was great but very long I wish there was a break in between Acropolis and museum. I also did not know that it did not cover the changing of tje guards which would have been cool. Overall a great experience . Our guide Olesya was amaxing!!!!

Rainy afternoon at the Acropolis - Despite the pouring rain (which seemed to last for only the duration of the tour!) we had an excellent time! Margarita was our guide and was very knowledgeable and engaging. We felt that we got much more out of our visit having a guided tour. Definitely recommend.

Love this tour - The tour guide was amazing. She was given facts answering questions from the start and very excited about giving information about the tour. My phone died and she offered to take some pictures and send them to me. Forgot to bring an umbrella or a poncho. She shared her umbrella with me and when in very in depth of every point this to our group. everyone got this little box that was connected to her microphone, so everybody could hear without being right upon our.

An unforgettable tour with an outstanding guide - I have visited the site twice before but this tour told and showed me more than the other 2 combined. Our guide, Despina( (Deppy) gave everything context and depth beyond a regular tour guide. She was friendly, caring, passionate and exceptionally knowledgeable about all aspects of the site and its role in Greek history. It was without doubt the most fascinating and immersive tour we had anywhere in Greece. The best 2 hours you could spend at the Acropolis. Highly recommended

Very satisfied. One complaint. - Very satisfied. Guide was very informative. Radio ear piece made it easy to hear even yards away taking pics or lagging the group. I am 80 and was worried about keeping up or even being able to make the climb. It is steep in parts but with several stops to hear about what we were looking at it was fine. One complaint: the address for the meeting point and ticket redemption is entirely IN GREEK ALPHABET so you can’t type it in to your phone !!! It would help if they mentioned that it is a snack bar on the corner of the street two hundred metres from the entrance.

2 hour walking tour of the Acropolis - We did the 2 hr walking tour with a guide of just the archeologicalsite. The headsets/earphones intermittently worked. Some uphill walking but doable for 2 seniors in their 70s. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We opted not to do the museum.
