Highly Informative - What can you say about a climb up to the Acropolis that hasn't already been said. It was a fabulous adventure led by our guide Hermes who was pleasant and full of information (with a rock & roll heart). The headsets were very helpful, especially if you stray from the herd like me to take a picture. One thing I would point out is to be aware that the climb is not for the weak of heart, you need good walking shoes (preferably sneakers as we had) and you should be in fairly good shape (my wife and I are in our sixties and athletic and there were still challenges between slippery, uneven paths, especially coming down where we had some challenges keeping up with our group). The tour of the museum was part of the excursion and was worth every penny, as Hermes again provided us with a plethora of information. Highly recommended

This is a sign,. Pick this tour!!! - Take water and aspirin, lol It was AMAZING! Nikola (I think, spelling). Was fantastic with her information, knowledge, and attention to detail. You can tell she loves what she does! My wife and I are gym rats, so the hike/stairs and often time uneven ground was not an issue for us. But be ready for a workout. There was people of all ages and fitness levels though. Nikola did a great job keeping track of her group and even took plenty of breaks, to fill our minds with the wonders of Greek mythology

Acropolis and the Pantheon - The guide, Niobii(sp??) was very informative and knowledgable of the history regarding the Acropolis and buildings we visited. Niobi was very friendly and considerate of the group, not walking to fast as we climbed the hill towards the top of the Acropolis.

Viator always delivers - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on our tour. Sometimes earbuds were choppy and could hear as clearly, but enjoyed our tour.

Athens - Enjoyed the acropolis. Museum Deja vu as most info already told. There was an earlier walking Athens tour and that would be a better option than museum tour

Lots of standing around - Very cool to see Acropolis and the Parthenon. A lot of standing around tho. Especially in the museum, at least that part was air conditioned

Walking Tours screwed up my Acropolis tour. - My most memorable experience is that I paid for the tour and saw NOTHING. They lost our groups tickets & got kicked out. No plan “B” and they wanted to give me half my money back. Viator scheduled the tour thru “Walking Tours” and that company totally screwed it up. Avoid this group at all cost.
