Traveler reviews
Excellent Tour of both Acropolis and the Museum.
Very informative and worthwhile. Did both the Ancient Athens tour and the museum. There were about 18 people in our group but only 6 of us also did the Acropolis Museum ...which really tied it all together. Would recommend doing both.
This was an amazing tour....
This was an amazing tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, blending the archaeology, history and culture and connecting it to modern Athens. He was very much a history student and scholar, which we greatly appreciated. When areas on the Acropolis where we were visiting were more crowded, the guide made certain to either pause or to adapt the plans to ensure that we could see everything. The second part of the tour was in the Acropolis Museum. The guide provided information and perspective on the exhibits that we would not have gotten if we had visited it on our own. He also selected exhibits that were particularly interesting and/or unique.
