The tour is great, Jessica has told many exciting but also funny stories. A big recommendation.
If you want to visit the Acropolis this is a must. In 1.5 hours Jessica told us about this hill and the buildings. She did this in a very fun and informative way. For us the best way to visit this place!
Jessica is a very enthusiastic guide, who can tell very engaging. We really enjoyed this trip with our family. The explanation in Dutch is a great added value to understand the stories and myths.
Jessica was superb, my teenage daughter and I enjoyed every single part of the tour! The guide is native in Dutch and almost so in German, providing deep insights of the historic and archeologic background of the Acropolis. Go for the combined tour including the museum, it's so more rewarding.
Our experience with Little Owl Tours in Athens was simply fantastic! From the first moment we felt well looked after – the organisation was perfect, everything went on time and relaxed. We were particularly impressed by the individual design of the tour: Our wishes were taken into account so that we could enjoy a tailor-made experience. The highlight? Our children had a lot of fun – playful, exciting and absolutely family friendly! So sightseeing is really fun! We as parents could sit back and enjoy the tour just as much. Little Owl Tours impresses with a thoughtful concept, great guides and a warm atmosphere. We would book again at any time and can highly recommend it. Thank you for this great day – keep it up! 😊 Steffen Geier

We had a wonderful guided tour of Jessica on the Acropolis with many vivid stories. Excellent, competent and very friendly guide. An ideal tour for families.
What a beautiful tour! It was for us the highlight of our visit to Athens. We were the only 3 participants and so had a private tour from Jessica. Jessica is a super fun and good Guide: she knows a lot to tell and in a fascinating way. Couldn't be better; we recommend everyone book this tour
Jessica gave us a very nice, friendly and informative tour through the Acropolis. She explained information about Greek history very well and clearly and also included the children. Great tour that I would recommend to everyone.
Jessica, our Dutch guide, passionately told the stories about temples, gods/goddess and the myths about the acropolis in Athens. A nice tour and recommended, when you visit Athens.
