One of the best tour ever. Enough time to see everything and ro take excellent photos, not to long to be bored. Our guide, Frosso, was more than excellent. Good english, very interesting explanation, it seems to have a lot of experience. Even the Acropole and the musseum were at the best. We strongly recommend.

Our host was very knowledgeable and had great stories to tell. The ear pieces make it easy to hear her even when you step away from the group- the pacing was my only complaint- spent too long in stoping places and then sped through the actual monument/no real time to ask questions. The museum part could be done on your own.

Our guide was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about Athens History and Greek mythology so much that it was easy for her to take us back in time. We experienced what it must have been like for the ancient Greeks and stood in awe of the majestic ruins with a better understanding of how it all came to be, and how those treasures were almost lost forever. Highly recommended!
