Great tour with lots of history - Great tour with lots of history. We were able to see all the area we wanted to see in a short time with lots more detail than we would have known on our own. Highly recommended!

Can’t miss tour in Athens with Gregory! - Our guide, Gregory was amazing. He is a history teacher so his passion and enthusiasm for the acropolis and Parthenon was evident. He took time to make frequent stops so we could rest but used the time to explain what we would see or were seeing. This was the best tour guide we have had this trip, through 10 countries.

Walking tour of Acropolis w Athens Walking Tours - 8:30am walking tour of Acropolis led by Apollon was great. Tour moved at an appropriate pace rather than lingering overly long at each site. Our guide Apollon has a masters in Ancient Greece restoration and was informative and entertaining. I had considered just doing my own tour using Rick Steves audio tour but I am glad I spent the money and went on this tour instead - well worth it. Only negative was how crowded the place was even w 8:30AM start time. If I did it again I would book for evening instead.

Ask for Gregory - Gregory was engaging as he told of mythology and history around the Acropolis. He also took pictures for everyone. He was kind and funny.

Excellent tour, just the right amount of time and information. - This is a great tour. Our guide, Nikki, kept a great pace for the group and was very easy to hear using the provided listening devices. Excellent tour if you want to see the Acropolis and learn about the history of these structures.

A must see - The knowledge of the our guide was impressive. The morning was clear and the experience walking through this historical was amazing. Make sure you bring water, a hat and sunscreen as there is not a lot of areas of shade.
