A must, ticket include, skip the line access~~~ - We had a great day with Effie, our tour guide! When I told my family we were heading to Athens, my sister suggested getting a tour guide. She said that the Acropolis was awesome, with a bunch of rocks lying around and she didn't know what was what! So I took her advice. So glad that we did. Effie was so knowledgeable about all of the "rocks" lying around. She had stories about each location. It was also very important that we found a tour that provided the tickets so we didn't have to wait and we couldn't skip the line. Effie took us to the museum after the day and we were so thrilled to see all of the history in each item. This was a terrific tour for a once in a lifetime vacation to Greece~

Must Do - Y this was an incredible tour and our guide Eva was fantastic. Her depth of knowledge added to the whole experience both on the Acropolis and in the Museum.
It’s a must do and starting early is the best option given the heat.

Great early day tour - Our tour leader Eva was very informative. She was knowledgeable and her English was great. The listening devices were also very helpful, and three hours was just enough time to see all the sites.

A memorable visit to the Acropolis - Frosso our guide was so informative and passionate about the history of the Acropolis . We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and were impressed with the care she took with our group in terms of having water and warning us to ignore the heat and stopping at the shady spots ! She navigated us around the most important and photographic parts of the Acropolis (even took great photos! ) Her storytelling was appreciated amongst all the information she gave us . Would highly recommend this tour.

A must do tour! - Our guide Frosso was amazing. Her knowledge of Greek history and the acropolis was brilliant. We learnt so much.
Highly recommend this tour we had nearly 2 hours at the Acropolis/Parthenon and 1 hour in the museum. It was at an east pace and we never felt rushed. The tour ends in the Museum and you can then stay in the museum afterwards.

Loved the tour, highly recommend this activity! - We had a fantastic tour of the Acropolis for our family of 4. It was an afternoon (4pm) tour and it was very hot outside (97 degrees F), but our tour guide planned ahead and stopped in shady areas to talk about the outside Acropolis. Our tour guide (unfortunately don't recall her name, but was June 5, 2024) was fantastic, especially on the outside parts of the tour. The tour inside the museum got a little long, but only on the explanation of the deep symbolism of the carvings. The rest of the museum tour was AMAZING! We also were tired due to the heat and the good amount of walking uphill outside. I have to add that it is intimidating walking up to the Acropolis and seeing how high up it is to see the Parthenon, etc., however, the tour breaks up the walk up so that you have good recovery time 5-7 times on the way up. I was pleasantly surprised how doable the walk was even for me who is not in the greatest shape.

Worth the climb - Acropolis is a must see. The crowds can be daunting but truly worth it. Be prepared to watch your step every step of the way and hydrate in the summer. Being guided is a real plus.
