The best way to see the Acropolis - Great tour. Very informative. It was so much better with an "insider" vs. just wandering through yourself.

A Good Tour - Mikos was a really good guide - engaging, knowledgeable, pleasant to be with. Suggest you take the morning tour, as it gets crowded later with queues to get in.

The Acropolis and so much more - Our guide was excellent- very knowledgeable and interactive. He brought the whole experience to life. I knew the bare bones but he added the meat.

Acropolis -- best part of our trip. - My partner and I visited on a weekday at 09:30. We were the only two, making the experience personal and engaging. We were greeted by Nick, who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. Nick's tour was the perfect length, and by 11:00 (perhaps slightly before) we were done, which gave us time to walk around the Acropolis by ourselves. Nick was approachable and knew how to make the tour fun and educational. I will recommend it to all of my friends. Next time Nick, please stick around as we'd have loved to give you a tip!
Make sure you see this first, as the tour will give you historical context for so many things and make other stops (such as the Acropolis museum) even more interesting.

First rate experience. Knowledgeable and personable guide. Great experience. - Only one other couple joined with this tour but our guide gave us the full service attention and consideration. Our guide was Greek and his name (shortened) was Nick or Nik. He was knowledgable and spoke in an educational way to be make all stops interesting. He was always concerned for our comfort and safety. He started the tour on time and completed it in 90 minutes as was scheduled by us. A great and memorable time.

Wonderful - Nik was very knowledgeable and kind. He took it really slow as the uphill is steep. I'd highly recommend.
