Great Guide - Terrific tour with very knowledgeable guide, Nicholas. His tour of the Acropolis Museum and Acropolis gave us a truly memorable experience. He also knew all of the easy walking routes, sooo helpful on a 98 degree day. The afternoon tour was really great. Not as hot and definitely less crowds.

We learned so much! - We ended up being the only two people on the tour. We began in the museum, which really helped us understand the Pantheon more. He was interesting and informative and answered all our questions. He was also mindful of the heat, and paced our tour accordingly.

Wonderful experience - Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended! Going to the museum first before the acropolis allow us to understand better on what we are seeing. There is only our family on this tour so it’s like a private one which is very nice.

Incredible historic tour! - Tour was fantastic; our guide was super friendly, informative and made the experience really fun and engaging. We learned a lot and definitely could not have seen or done as much on our own especially with the crowds at the Acropolis. Totally worthwhile experience

Best waking tour of the Acropolis - Fantastic tour! Well paced and suitable for our 70yr old mum (walk was not too strenuous). Our guide was great, very knowledgeable and flexible in terms of timing and where we went on the tour. Would highly recommend.

An excellent tour of the Acropolis and acropolis museum - We had a wonderful guide, Nic, who was a wealth of information! He was very concerned about the safety of his group on the slippery marble and you could tell he had a lot of experience by the attention he gave to details. Nic allowed us to go at our own pace, answered our questions, and made it very interesting. We were a small group of four, which was great. We had no difficulty hearing him. The tour included the museum which some tours did not include. We saw no line of people because we did not go in the same entrance. Another group had to wait an hour and a half to get into the acropolis so there was a line somewhere. We recommend Nic as a tour guide and using skip the line. Our tour was in June. Wear shoes with traction.

What history - Nicholas was very informative and patient as we walked thru and had so many questions. We were amazed that we asked for a restaurant suggestion and he walked us there and got us a table. Above and beyond

Nice Tour - Very nice tour but I would have preferred if our guide had our names on display because it was hard to find him at first but once we got underway it was nice.
