Great tour - A great way to see the site and understanding all the history that goes with it. Maria our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Definitely wear comfortable shoes and take water with you, at times it's steep and the floor under foot can be slippery. Maria was mindful and we had plenty of stops in the shade whilst she gave more interesting history. Would recommend. Thank you Maria.

Great Tour Guide - The tour guide was fantastic, it’s a shame the Greeks can’t count as the group limit was 16 and we have many more. Would still recommend as our guide was exceptional.

Informative, educational and a workout! - Enjoyed the Acropolis and Parthenon and the museum. Great package deal to see the biggest attractions in Athens. Tour guid was fabulous and so informative.

Don't book this tour. - This tour would have been informative if you could have understood what the guide was saying. She talked WAY too much, too fast, thick accent, and too much filler information that no one cared about. I eventually just took my earphone out of my ear. Ana, the guide, did not have a flag so you could not find her easily and there were literally a million people on the Acropolis at the same time. I stopped to take a picture and was immediately engulfed in people with no idea where my group was. I had to call my husband just to find the group again. The museum was not nearly as cool as I thought it would be - just replicas and a few authentic pieces of what the Acropolis had originally looked like. Again, Ana babbling on about the history of the corner of this rock and that rock. I just wanted to wander through the museum by myself and read about things. By the time she took us through and pointed out every god and goddess there was carved into every rock in the museum, we were worn out. I think a tour on our own would have been more beneficial. At least then, we could have read the information markers and knew what we were looking at. She just barrelled by them and told us about it in the accent we couldn't understand and too many tidbits. The only good thing was the skip the line.
