Our tour guide Constance was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of our tour. I would recommend it. Lots of walking but ok.
Had a wonderful guided walking tour with breathtaking views and fascinating history. Our guide, Lisa was amazing and very informative.
Sotaris was fun, informative and made the whole experience great!
We were very disappointed with this 2-hour Acropolis tour. Given the length, we expected to spend roughly an hour exploring the top of the hill. Instead, we spent the first 15 minutes waiting for people to buy water, followed by a bathroom stop at the entrance. By the time we finally entered the site, about 30 minutes had already passed. We then walked only a short distance before stopping again in the shade for another break. When we finally reached the summit, we had just 30 minutes total for the guide’s explanations and free time to take photos. As a result, we didn't have enough time to properly see the major buildings or take many pictures. Overall, the pacing left us feeling rushed and shortchanged on what should have been the highlight of the visit.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that every minute at the Acropolis is valuable, especially on a 2-hour tour. Our guides do allow time for essential comfort breaks, while also taking into account the heat, crowds, and the needs of the group, which can affect the pace of the visit. We’re sorry to hear that the timing did not match your expectations, and we appreciate your comments as they help us continually improve the experience we offer.
Great historical experience. Wear comfortable Shoes/clothing, expect strenuous walk. Lots of water needed!

The tour itself was fine. The woman checking tourists in was rude to the point we thought about leaving. She was not a good representative of your tour company. Customer service and patience would go a long way. At this point, I would not recommend this tour company to others.
