Great excursion, even for the kids (12 and 14).
The guide was super. He spoke very good German (he studied in Germany). Registration also went smoothly. Please remember to bring ID for the children (due to age verification at the entrance).

Description
Explore the monuments of the Acropolis on a small group afternoon walking tour with a German-speaking licensed tour guide and archaeologist. Visit the Parthenon, and learn the fascinating history of the most important classical site in the western world. Join a licensed archaeologist guide, and admire an astonishing collection of sculptures that tell more than 2,500 years of history, from the 1st theater of human civilization at the Theater of Dionysus, to the Healing Temple of Asclepius, and Odeon of Herodes Atticus. See the Temple of Athena Nike (Temple of Wingless Victory), and the gateway to the Propylaeum. Go to the remains of the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheum. Marvel at the crowning glory of the Acropolis at the iconic Parthenon (entrance fee not included and will need to be paid on the day), from where almost all of Athens can be seen.

The German-speaking guide was excellent!
Our German-speaking guide was very, very good. He explained the complex history of the old war very well and clearly—magnificent! Many thanks to him.

Worth to see
Nice tour and nice guide. Maybe a bit too expensive for a family.

An exciting and informative tour from start to finish. Vasileios truly lived up to his name - royal!
R
Great leadership
Everything went very well, and no one had any problems (missing tickets or time issues).
M
Great tour with top guide
We had booked the tour in advance, which definitely made sense. It was very well organized, we were received at the meeting point, immediately got our headphones. We were only a group of 5 people and had Vasili as a guide. He did great, always in stages up to the Acropolis. At each stop he brought us closer to Greek history. Professional and human top in perfect German. We can fully recommend this tour. The tour lasted about 2 hours.

Enriching visit to the Acropolis
Kioumourtzidis Stelios made a wonderful and lively tour. Knowledgeable and varied: a successful, comprehensible art/culture education! Everyone in the group loved it.

A perfect Acropolis tour thanks to Stelios
We took an afternoon tour of the Acropolis. Thanks to Stelios Kioumourtzidis, this was a real experience for us. Through his vivid descriptions and stories, the past came alive. He also gave us a lot of additional information about the city, flora, fauna, etc. Due to the late start of the tour, the Acropolis and the city were bathed in wonderful evening light. Fully recommended.

Great tour. Unforgettable sunset in the evening. A must when visiting Athens. Kioumourtzidis Stelios was our guide. He lives and loves history. Top.
