Very well organized tour with a knowledgeable guide! I was looking for a short Acropolis tour since we had only couple of hours before cruise departure, and this tour was the perfect fit for us.

The guide was very knowledgeable and I appreciated that she found shady spots when she could. It was a much longer tour than promoted online and I had to leave a little early to get down to check out of my hotel. It was also nice to have paid up to have tickets already purchased.

This was the worst tour I’ve ever done. It started off annoying when the tour guide tried to rush us away right after I ordered a small
Snack near the meeting point, 15 minutes before the tour was supposed to start.
Then throughout the tour, the guide kept avoiding the actual things we came to see, so she could find some shade to talk in such detail about everything Greek other than the things we were seeing. It was like she was auditioning for a college professor position and cramming a semester worth of info in to what should have been a 30-60 talking tour.
It was as if she thought we were all there instead of to see the Acropolis, meanwhile group after group kept passing us by, so much so that by the time we got to the top it was much more crowded than had we got there earlier as we had anticipated given the time slot we selected.
I couldn’t find very much succinct information on visiting, so it felt like we had to book through a tour, but we could have bought tickets right at the. Entrance with hardly any wait and that would have been much better as we could have explored on our own.
Complete waste of money.

Alina was an amazing tour guide who paced our tour perfectly! She shared a wealth of knowledge and took care to make sure our group was safe and well informed. Just the right amount of information and education 🪴

A fantastic location, and brilliant sights to see but the tour guide rushed ahead and it only took 1 hour instead of the 1 hr 45 as advertised.

Excellent tour hosted by the lovely Eva.
Taken on a hot day (even at 8 in the morning), so appreciated all the shady spots that were sought out whilst she gave her informative spiel.
Just under 2 hours in length but didn’t feel rushed (despite the crowds) and managed to take in all of the notable sites.
Would thoroughly recommend.

This was a fantastic tour. I loved hearing all about the history of this ancient treasure. Our guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable of Acropolis history. It was 97 degrees F and she did her best to keep us in the shade.

Check in process not very organized. Guide seemed knowledgeable but her mike kept cutting in and out so didn't hear all she had to say. Lost her a few times in the crowd.

my tour was at 8:30 and we arrived 40 minutes ahead of time. I spoke to the person of the agency and he shrugged it off, saying we were well advanced. I asked if there was anywhere nearby where we could grab something to eat quickly and he said "anywhere".
Shortly after, we returned and other people from the agency had already arrived, I checked in and got the audio equipment. While we were waiting for our group's schedule, we noticed that there was no one else with our number there and my husband went to ask (it wasn’t 8:30 yet). Basically the answer was: "your group has already left, didn't you hear them?" In other words, they don't even count the number of people and leave (if your audio equipment is faulty you won't hear the group call). We joined the next group that was going to do the same tour and the same thing happened to other girls, the group left and they didn't notice, but they joined us on the queue at the entrance to the acropolis.
regarding the tour: basic information, available on any guide. Some photographs are shown in a very old folder. We arrived at the Parthenon around 10:00, when it was already busy. some people who had chosen to do the food tour were a little disappointed because there was no free time at the acropolis, the tour would start next and it was not possible to enter again without purchasing a new ticket.
In general, I regretted taking the tour due to the shallow explanations and disorganization.
