Spectacular - Nikolas was our tour guide and we are so grateful for him. Our family includes 2 kids (ages 4 and 10) and a grandparent who walks rather slow. Nikolas was very patient and made sure the walking pace was comfortable for us. The day we visited was extremely hot (high temperature for the day was 102F). He made frequent stops in shady spots and got us refill on cold drinking water at the end. At the end of the tour, we had planned to visit the museum. He took extra time to walk us there and help us get to the cafe, where we had a drink and light lunch prior to wandering around the museum. He also went above and beyond to help my father-in- law find a taxi so he could go back to the hotel after the tour. As for the tour itself, he is extremely knowledgeable. He was able to answer all our questions and explain things in a way our 10 year old could understand. His personality is very kind and warm. He made our visit to the Acropolis so enjoyable. I cannot recommend Nikolas and this tour enough.

Anyone can get a ticket... - Anyone can get a ticket and walk up to the Acropolis but to have a guide tell you about every little thing along the way makes a huge difference. Our guide, Nikos, did a fantastic job of explaining everything. Any questions we had, he was able to answer them. He was also a very good photographer.

April 2025 Excellent Tour; I learned a lot - We had a excellent and very informative tour while walking up the path to the top of the Acropolis and also while at the Pantheon and other sites on top of the Acropolis. The small group size allows hearing well and being able to ask questions. I highly recommend this tour.

Best Guide Ever - Mr Plato was an expert travel guide. We were in a small group of 6 and it was the best experience. I was nervous about the climb because I’m out if shape but there were plenty of stops on the way up to rest. We had a wonderful time.

Amazing - Our guide was excellent- we took our time walking up to the top of the Acropolis. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of history. Our guide was able to point out interesting ancient building techniques at the Parthenon and had pictures of what all the Temples, structures looked like in ancient times!

An excellent experience - Nikkos made it so interesting with his stories of Greek mythology and history. He was also very considerate , finding areas of shade when he stopped to comment. We were in a small group which made a difference too
