Great job explaining the history of everything
Guide was very personable and knowledgeable. And went out of his way to keep us in the shade! The site is amazing.

Our guide Lisa was fantastic. She led our tour of the Acropolis and museum. She was so kind and knowledgeable about the history of the Acropolis making it a very pleasant experience for us even on a 100 degree day.

If I were to do over I would buy the Acropolis ticket but not the Acropolis museum ticket. There was not enough free time at the top of the Acropolis and descent from top of Acropolis to the museum was too fast for me. Also, given length of restroom lines, 15 minute break at beginning of museum tour was too short.
We had this scheduled for...
We had this scheduled for 1:00 in afternoon and they allowed us to reschedule to next morning at 9:00 am, which was great decision because it was very hot. Victor was our guide and very knowledgeable and gave lots of insights we would not get if we had not done guided tour. Would highly recommend this company for the tour.
