Acropolis & Parthenon Guided Tour

We had an excellent English speaking guide that was an expert in our tour. She was very conscience about the how strenuous the walk was and took every advantage to let us stop and rest in the shade. She answered every question and had a wonderful personality.

Acropolis tour

Ermis was our guide and he was excellent! Ermis was very knowledgeable about the history of the Acropolis and he also made the tour easy even though we had quite the hike up to the top.
