Walk n talk a lot on this Athens tour! We learned so much from our very knowledgeable guide on this tour. Better be in fairly good shape to walk, stand and navigate many flights of stairs. All the historical sights, archeological sites, and museum gave a whole day of memorable experiences.
Wonderful visit to Acropolis and Parthenon. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and positively contributed to an enjoyable experience. Yes, you can do this without the aid of a guide as there are several stations along the walk with assisted audio, however the tour guide was able to add another dimension by responding to questions with additional detail.
Our guide, Vangeles, was excellent. He was previously a school teacher, and researcher. He was able to read and transcribe many languages. His Greek and English speaking language skills were also great.
Our tour with Galataca(sp) was awesome. I learned so much from her knowledge of the history of the Acropolis. We then joined her in the museum for a very informative tour of all the artifacts from the Acropolis. I highly recommend.
Very informative and worthwhile. Did both the Ancient Athens tour and the museum. There were about 18 people in our group but only 6 of us also did the Acropolis Museum ...which really tied it all together. Would recommend doing both.
This was an amazing tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, blending the archaeology, history and culture and connecting it to modern Athens. He was very much a history student and scholar, which we greatly appreciated. When areas on the Acropolis where we were visiting were more crowded, the guide made certain to either pause or to adapt the plans to ensure that we could see everything. The second part of the tour was in the Acropolis Museum. The guide provided information and perspective on the exhibits that we would not have gotten if we had visited it on our own. He also selected exhibits that were particularly interesting and/or unique.
The guided tour of Acropolis and the Museum was outstanding. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend!!!
Wonderful! Our guide was knowledgeable and funny! Shared so much history. Would recommend to anyone!
Great guide Anna Maria. Knew her stuff. Best to do both museums to get a broad look at relics.
Dorina was an excellent & knowledgeable tour guide. She was considerate & looked after the group. She negotiated the crowds for a group & gave us lots of pictures & thoughts going back to ancient times. The tour of the museum was excellent as she took us to the important parts that related back to our tour of the Acropolis & the Parthenon
