The location Athen. Acropolis. It was hard to follow our guide. She walked and talked too fast and she did not has any symbols to hold for us to follow her. It was hard to find and her in a crowded area. She was very knowledgeable

Our tour guide was lovely and very knowledgeable, but do not listen to the Viator advice on when to go. The app advised 1pm as the best time to avoid the crowds and we nearly had heatstroke. It's a tough climb up the hill, so it's definitely nor suitable for anyone with mobility or strength issues. I would highly recommend waiting until nighttime to do this tour!!

Our guide was excellent, she has a degree in history and it shows, her enthusiasm, talking for most of the tour and knowledge brought the tour to life as we envisioned what it was like 2500 years ago, yes 2500 years ago! The ancient Greeks were indeed a nation above all nations and their art and philosophy introducing dem cracy, rule by the people is truly remarkable. The museum itself is a masterpiece in architecture and they did built a modern work of art with full to ceiling windows facing the Acropolis and modelled the size and colums to match the Acropolis. The Greeks are still waitng for Britain to return their monuments of stone take from the Acropoois in the 18th century!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Athens and its history through the ages.
The only downside is the headphones didn't work sometimes because of the wind so we couldn't hear the guide and missed a lot. And her accent was a bit hard to understand occasionally, and the issue with the headphones made it only so much worse
