Traveler reviews
Morning Acropolis tour and museum. Perfection!
Anastasia was attentive with the group, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Acropolis and museum artifacts. She was sunshine on our rainy day and helped us navigate the crowded museum. Very nice tour. Did bus pickup at hotel and drop off. Morning tour, no lunch. Perfect.
An excellent experience
Our guide Areti Drosi was very cordial, her explanations were very clear. Despite the rain and bad weather, she managed to meet our expectations.
A great way to see the Acropolis
Our guide Kristina was wonderful. She cared for all our individual needs, and worked our tour so that we had a good mix of free & guided time. Brilliant to include the Museum, as we were quickly through the entrance. She guided us to the 'must see' parts; AND gave us good advice about other parts of the city.
Not just ruins.
Areti, the guide, provided us with a tour full of Greek cultural significance, from the beginning. She doesn't just explain the part of Athens and the Acropolis that you see, she complements it with a vision of the history of Greece that connects to the present and makes it more real, a 10 for me. It is advisable to get up early; crowds dampen the intensity of what you are seeing.
Great experience in Athens
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic experience touring the Acropolis and Parthenon with Petros! He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and informative, bringing the history to life in a way that kept the whole family engaged. You could really see how much he loves what he does, and he made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. Would highly recommend Petros to anyone visiting Athens!
