From first contact with Natalie, everything was efficiently organised, she was responsive, and facilitating, every aspect dealt with promptly. The guide we were allocated, Joanna, was spectacular. She wast at our hotel at the appointed time and was engaging, smart and made our tour absolutely fascinating. Without doubt, the best private guided tour ever. Thank you!

We are also glad to hear that the entire process, from your first conversation through to the tour itself was smooth and facilitating. We are so happy to have welcomed you in Athens and we hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you back someday.
Top Guide, flexible, friendly an reliable. Good amount of Information and on request detailed explanations.
Our guide Natalie was excellent and made this tour exceptional. She shared the rich history in such an engaging and interesting manner that we were completely entranced with this amazing site. She really looked after us always making sure we were shaded and careful where the ground was uneven. She had some 3D tools on her phone so we were able to look at the acropolis in front of us but also see clearly how it looked originally which really added to the look experience.
We were 3 couples and had an amazing time during our 4 hours private Acropolis tour. Our guide Mrs. Amarylis was extremely knowledgeable and shared her insiders with us, a great experience to visit Acropolis and the museum with her. We can recommend Athens Insiders, very professional experts and perfect organization. They made our trip memorable, thanks.
Our guide, Sissi, was helpful in planning the visit, strongly (and rightly) suggesting we pre-booked an early time to avoid both the heat and the cruise ship crowds. She was a fount of knowledge about both the Parthenon and Ancient Greek history. Would highly recommend her as a guide.
Absolutely amazing tour, make sure to ask for Ilias - super knowledgeable, not only about Acropolis, but also surrounding areas and landmarks. 5 stars!
The tour was perfect. Our guide was knowledgeable professional and fun. She knew how to get us away from the busier tourist groups and showed us things many would not have seen on their own. We were a group of 3 women age 18, 54 and 80 and we all loved it!
Greek Insider, our travel agent contract with Athens Insider for a private tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum. We were met 8:30 at Hotel Achilleas which is about 15 minute walk to Acropolis. We arrived at Acropolis and Stevie, our tour guide, lead us into the site. We were there in March so the site was not busy. Since Stevie had everything in order, we just started the tour. There are two ways to get to the top, one is straight up while other, which we took, meanders through several ancient ruins such as Dionysus Theatre, Stolla, Odeon of Herodus Atticus, and finally through the Propylaea, major gateway to the Acropolis. Since it was Easter Lent week for Greek Orthodox and Spring break for other countries, there were student groups. Therefore Stevie took our time for us to enjoy and explain the sites. She even took some great photos of us during trip. After Acropolis, we went to Acropolis museum and she explained many of the artifacts and recreations which were there. Her knowledge was astounding and well worth the cost. There were only two of us with Stevie so we got to ask questions which we wanted to know as well as hear her answers, explanations easily.
The Acropolis and Parthenon are truly amazing structures, which were brought to life by our wonderful guide Despina! Thank you.
Our tour guide Zakia gave a wonderful walking tour of the Acropolis and then a 3 stop food tour including the markets. We were picked up at our hotel and got a real glimpse of the city so that we were then comfortable exploring on our own another day. Zakia was knowledgeable and humorous. We enjoyed our 4 hours with her immensely.
