We missed the tour! - HARA A. Lucarelli - Booking
The above individual worked tirelessly to get us tickets into Acropolis after we missed the tour. Bravo! Very much appreciated. We had a delightful time touring at our slow pace.
FYI: when map tells you 15 minute walk time, make it 30. Give yourself time to get lost. Between jet lag, old age, and fatigue we missed the tour. Probably a blessing as we took out time doing that serious Alpine climb to the top.

Dora was knowledgeable, emphatic & passionate - Dora was great - really knowledgeable, emphatic and passionate about Acropolis & Greek history in general. The tour had good pace & timing. We had enough free time to go around the Acropolis and museum at our own pace.
For instructions, they can be a bit repetitive but I understand why. A lot of people in the tour probably got lost or was late in the past. So they repeat the instructions multiple times. To be fair, you will remember it till after the tour :)
Highly recommend this tour to do a quick tour of Athens!

Greek living history, so impressive and memorable! - If you are uncomfortable with crowds or have mobility issues , do not do this tour. If you are fairly healthy, and have a flexible and accommodating attitude, this tour is not to be missed. So much history to be wowed by!
We had Dora as our guide and she is no nonsense. That is not meant as a criticism. It has to be a major challenge to manage the safety, welfare and enjoyment of a whole bus load of assorted tourists. Dora was firm, informative and seemingly everywhere.
The Acropolis and Parthenon were so impressive. Make sure if you go, you are physically capable, wear comfortable, non-slip shoes and bring plenty of water. If you go on a sunny day, bring a hat or umbrella.
If I were to do this again, I would strongly consider a small group tour.

Nancy - I felt this was too expressive for only the acropolis and not museum would had been cheaper to buy on my own.

Good if you have the physical stamina to complete the tour. - Lots of walking and steps to get to the structure. Even though I called and spoke to someone live prior to booking to explain my health concerns I was misled as to the walking/climbing required. I was not able to complete the tour. Unable to get close to the museum.

Way Too Crowded - We would recommend rearranging this tour so that you go to the Acropolis first before it gets too hot and too crowded. Although the tour started early (about 8:30 am), after a quick tour of the city and then the Museum (which was wonderful and so worthwhile doing), we didn't end up at the Acropolis until about Noon. By that time, it was in the 90's and so crowded it was a stop and go traffic jam of people trying to climb to the top. It was a miserable experience. In addition, the tour ran longer than expected and sometime after 1:00 we had to leave the tour and take a taxi back to our hotel and to the cruise ship to make our departure time.
