This tour was the absolute BEST! Our guide, Alexandra, was so kind and intelligent. The time of day was absolute perfection because we got to beat the crowds (and the heat) and the morning light on the Parthenon made for incredible photos. I wish I could rate this 100 stars!
It’s worth to choose the earliest tour since the place is not that extremely crowded in the early hours. I recommend it
