Once in a lifetime!!

Published on Jul, 2024

Incredible views and priceless to see in person. Went on 8:30 am tour and temperatures were scorching already. Definitely recommend early tour. Our guide was amazing.

First time in Greece

Published on Jul, 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour of The Acropolis. I knew I could have just bought my own tickets and toured by ourselves, but very happy With my purchase. The tour guide was very helpful in navigating the very crowded area, pointing out all the history through good stories along the way up to the top. Also helped to know good places in the shade to sit and grab water along the way. Definitely worth the $$ for a first time visitor to Greece.

A comfortable tour despite the heat!

Helena did an excellent job! Not only was her knowledge and passion for the history inspiring. She was amazingly considerate of taking breaks in the shade for my elderly Father while not seeming to slow down the tour.

Great Tour

This was a fantastic tour and Fay was a great guide! We learned a lot and saw all of the sights. We highly recommend this tour!

A great tour and definitely worth doing

Published on Jul, 2024

Had a great time learning about the history of the Acropolis with its Goddesses and Gods. Also how it came to be destroyed through a cannon ball. Our guide made sure we were all ok as we stopped in the shade and was very informative. Best guide ever and best history lesson I have ever had as I remember it all.
