Stavroula – AustraliaJuly 3, 2023 – Verified booking
It was a very busy morning on our Acropolis tour and despite having to queue for over an hour on the skip the line tour, our guide, Pan, was incredible. She gave us loads of information about the Acropolis & Athens that we didn't even notice the time spent in the queue. Highly recommend & thank you again Pan!

This tour was pretty good, I’m not quite sure how they get away with saying it’s a “skip the line” tour when you have to wait in line regardless. On the day we went, the line was about an hour long, and we had to wait for the entire time in the hot weather. Half the group dipped out while waiting and I’m not even sure all of them came back. The tour guide was wonderful though, she was pretty knowledgeable on everything we saw. Unfortunately it was sort of hard to pay attention because of the hot weather while also climbing up to the top of the acropolis. It’s a fairly easy walk up, but when it’s super hot outside it’s not easy! So beware of that.
