Really good tour - the guide was knowledgeable about the history of the Acropolis site and had visual aids to help narrating the history but we felt like he could have given a bit more detail. The timing of the tour was perfect to avoid the crowds and sun. The guide was also super patient when we were taking pictures and making sure no one was left behind/got lost. Highly recommend
