4Fabulous!!
So pleased we booked as it’s extremely busy and our guide made it happen for us- easy entry without standing in the queue, full of information and a great shady position to stand whilst enjoying her knowledge.
5Intimate tour with a knowledgeable guide
A small group tour. Nikki the guide is an archaeologist by training and wss amazing and knowledgeable. He was an able to present in an accessible and engaging manner.
5Perfect! No notes.
The office is easy to find and check-in was quick and efficient. Our guide Penelope was so thoughtful and knowledgeable! Got us water, bathrooms, encouraged us to walk slowly up the inclines... her stories and information were imaginative and fun. Well worth the money!
5A knowledgable guide and excellent tour
We received an email with instructions for meet up time the day before the excursion. Very organised check in, split into groups with coloured lanyard and audio listening device and our guide Penny. The tour itself was very organised, Penny highly knowledgable and made sure not to rush us at all. This aspect of the tour helped enormously for those who walked a little slower and was very much appreciated by us!

About Athens
Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.
The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
Top-ranked sights in Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
