Our guide was excellent! She covered the history, mythology and practical construction of the things we saw. I only wish it could have been longer. Very well done.

Our guide was excellent. To tour the Acropolis museum and the Parthenon without a competent guide would be impossible to accomplish in 3.5 hours - if one hopes to really understand the chronological history. While it is physically challenging, it was extremely educational and fulfilling.

The tour timing was not accurately depicted. We were late for a tour we booked after that one because the tour guide moved very slowly, took breaks, and it did not begin at 9am as expected.

Keep the group together and do not start telling the story of an object before the whole group is in front of it. It is a lot of visitors and crowded so it is difficult for everyone to be close to the guide all the time.

There is no point trying to desribe the sheer glory of the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum (which is fantastic!) in mere words. Understanding this period of ancient Greece through sculpture and town planning is essential for understanding Europe, even today.

Tour ok but guide difficult to understand, I recommend taking your own headphones to have both ears with sound. The explanations weren't very detailed on the construction and architecture of the acropolis.

The guide (Viktor) was amazing, very nice and knowledgeable, he answered all the questions and made sure we all had fun. I don't give 5stars because the experience with the booking and the platform was horrible, we booked a guided tour, but in the app it showed we had booked and audio tour...

The Acropolis is a must see. We booked a tour at 8am which I highly recommend to avoid the crowds. When we came out later the queues to go in were very long. Margaret our guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and very helpful.

It was a pleasure to spend the day with Hermes. As a guide, he is not only knowledgeable but a wonderful host. We felt his passion for all things Hellenic and cannot thank him enough. I would not hesitate to strongly suggest any tour that he may lead.

We toured the Acropolis and Museum in Athens. Margret was an amazing tour guide. She was knowledgeable and considerate of our group member's needs and wellbeing. We had visited the site before but with her as our guide, we learned so much more. She made history come alive for us.
