Our guide was brilliant - We had a great tour guide and really enjoyed her sense of humour and brilliant knowledge of ancient Athens. It was quite a steep climb with uneven ground getting up to the Acropolis and tiring in the heat and crowds of people. Really worth it though, to see such it up close.

John the archeologist - Great tour! Our guide - John the archeologist - was amazing! He knew so much detail and tied it all together for us to easily understand the history. His passion is obvious, his English was very good and he kept us all very engaged! We thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommend a private tour with John!

Best Tour Guide ever!!! - We love this tour! Natasha was the best tour guide we could ever ask for. My family and I struggled from the beginning due to the hot weather and some other medical issues but Natasha made this tour really enjoyable. She gives us breaks and find shade for the whole group to enjoy. She is very knowledgeable too and is very passionate in what she does. Is a very hard tour to do if you are not ready for it, but it is possible to do thanks to good guides like Natasha. Doing the tour early in the morning helped a lot too. 07/07/25 @9am

Great way to learn and see Athens! - I wouldn't do the Acropolis any other way! Natasha, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and funny. Highly recommend doing the 8am tour so you can avoid the heat and the crowd. Did the museum tour with her after as well and it was great.

The tour provided just the right amount of time at each stop for sightseeing and photos. Nikos’ English was easy to understand, and he thoroughly answered all questions. Would definitely recommend!

Horrible experience. Use anyone but them too expensive vs everyone else - Horrible! Would never use them again! They lied to us saying we could do our rest later and canceled our tour and said they were booked when we planned to go following am. They refused to refund and spent whole night crying as we had planned on it. Not to mention we were charged triple and every tour the same was a 1/3rd
