Traveler reviews
The acropolis
Incredible experience to see the acropolis and Parthenon and learn about Greek history and culture; guide was outstanding with delivering knowledge.
Walk n talk n learn in Athens tour!
Walk n talk a lot on this Athens tour! We learned so much from our very knowledgeable guide on this tour. Better be in fairly good shape to walk, stand and navigate many flights of stairs. All the historical sights, archeological sites, and museum gave a whole day of memorable experiences.
Wonderful visit to...
Wonderful visit to Acropolis and Parthenon. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and positively contributed to an enjoyable experience. Yes, you can do this without the aid of a guide as there are several stations along the walk with assisted audio, however the tour guide was able to add another dimension by responding to questions with additional detail.
Awesome Parthenon and Acropolis Museum Tour!
Our guide, Vangeles, was excellent. He was previously a school teacher, and researcher. He was able to read and transcribe many languages. His Greek and English speaking language skills were also great.
Historical tour of the Acropolis and museum
Our tour with Galataca(sp) was awesome. I learned so much from her knowledge of the history of the Acropolis. We then joined her in the museum for a very informative tour of all the artifacts from the Acropolis. I highly recommend.
