Best tour guide ever!

This tour was fantastic. Our guide, Phoebe, is an archaeologist on the site & was so knowledgeable & interesting. We learnt so much more than if we’d done it independently. She catered to the speed of everyone, looked for shade, took our photos, let us have toilet stops & grab a bite to eat on the way from the Acropolis to the Museum. She was indeed an absolute gem. We couldn’t have had a better experience hence we added the museum tour on to our day with her.

Wonderful tour

Excellent tour with Lora as our guide. She was terrific. She read our group well, stopped in shade for short rest as she informed us of the ruins. Answered our questions and was great in the museum as well pointing out important facts and ruins.

Worth it!

This excursion is amazing! You really have to wear comfortable shoes and be ready for a decent mild hike. Once you reach the top it’s breathtaking! So worth the hike up!!

This is a challenging...

This is a challenging tour if you have any difficulty walking. Besides stairs up and down, the walkways are uneven and very slippery. Orestis was very good, informative and humorous.
