Highlighted reviews from other travelers
Our guide was amazing. (Maria?) she was an archeologist and was amazing. She had great jokes and created the perfect path for us to go up to the acropolis. We would walk a small bit and the. Stop and sit in the shade for a story. It made the travel up very doable and enjoyable. She gave us plenty of free time at the highlights and answered all questions. We considered not doing a tour but it was so worth it. We got the option with the ticket included and did not have to wait in line. The only negative was that the meeting location changed and we had a hard time finding the meeting location. But the accommodated us and we had the perfect tour.
The guide was excellent. very informative, interactive and with a great humour. we learned so much about the history of Athens and great monuments. Thank you. it was such an amazing experience!
