Traveler reviews
Thank you Helena!
Loved our guide, Helena’s engaging style and humour. There was never a dull moment in the tour. Me and my family were lucky to be in her tour group that day.
Great experience, especially with the right guide
Giannis went above and beyond. It’s rare to meet someone who is so passionate, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in teaching those around him. He puts in the work and really cares about the subject matter he’s teaching even if it’s only a one-on-one session. He’s a great guide to Greek culture and I learned so much about this beautiful country. I highly recommend this educational experience, especially with Giannis.
Fantastic tour!
“John the archaeologist” was an excellent guide and brought to life the incredible history of Acropolis. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining and engaging, would thoroughly recommend. Book an early tour to avoid the crowds.
Great acropolis and museum experience
Our guide heleni was excellent. She gave a very detailed account of the history behind the acropolis, providing insights we would never know if we explored the site on our own.
Great archaeological site
My husband and I loved seeing these archaeological sites of the acropolis and Parthenon. It was beautiful. I would not recommend going on an audio tour because it was very large and hard to understand. Our young tour guide did a good job, but she spoke way too fast for us and we couldn’t hear or understand a lot of what she said. I often had to take off my ear device and just stand closer to her.
