Fantastic

The tour and tour guide were fantastic. The tour guide clearly has passion for her job and it shows. The fact that she kept the tour interactive for both adults and younger members in the group also shows her experience. I’ll recommend this tour to all that come to Athens.

Not really worth it
AlexMartin

The tour was really not worth it. I feel like I could have looked up the few facts I learned online. Additionally our tour guide was very rude and forgot to get a ticket for one of the other tour attendees who had prepaid for their ticket. Save yourself some money and just look up some information about the Acropolis ahead of time. There isn't really a line to get in so there's no point in paying extra to skip it either.

Dear guest, very sorry you find the tour not worth it. We are supriced you find one of our best rated tour guides to be rude. She is known for how gentle and accomondate she is. The ticket issue was a mistake of one of the participants since they came a wrong date and the guide rather than canceling their tour was gentle to help them fast and forward to buy the ticket and join the group. All the guides are licensed tour guides and archaelogists with experience. Hope we can change your mind and give us a second chance as it might was a bad day.

Evening tour of Acropolis

The tour with Mariza (sorry if misspelled) was certainly fun and informative. It was quite a warm day in Athens; nevertheless, we made a fact-filled journey to the top of the Acropolis. Hats-off to our guide for conducting the whole tour with the protective mask and making sure the group was comfortable and coordinated the entire time.

Great Tour to get an good overview about Acropolis

Marisa was our guide and she did an excellent job in showing and educating us the history of acropolis. There was not a single question she couldn't answer and she is really taking her time to make sure that everybody understood her stories. The tour was a bit longer than two hours and there was also enough time to take pictures.

It was an excellent tour, more so because of the amazing guide, Maritza. I am so happy she was the one showing our group the Acropolis. She had good knowledge and was very considerate and good company at the same time. She even took many photos, without asking. I was very impressed by the level of courtesy and professionalism of the tour guide. Am very happy with my choice of the tour company, which was a random selection I made on Viator. I hope to continue using this company thanks to Maritza.

Marissa's tour of the Acropolis was fantastic, we had a small group ear pieces so we could hear and perfect timing out of the midday sun. The info provided was very interesting and we all enjoyed it including our 15 and 12 year olds

Much better than if we had gone alone

My wife and I traveled to Greece in early September and purchased this walking tour as part of seeing the ruins. We ran a little late but they were very accommodating and had someone wait for us while the rest of the tour started. It hasn’t really begun and climb to the ruins so that was good Overall it was very very informative and being in a small/medium group helped a lot as you were able to listen to the guide and take it all in. Beware as there is a good amount of walking to do but that’s the case with the ruins in general, not just This tour. It was definitely worth it and we were happy with it

We found Christo’s to be extremely informative. Loved the computer dictions that he had in a book to show us of what it would have looked like when it was built. Answered all our questions and was great about giving us time to see everything on the way up! Marie Met us at the platform terminal where we were instructed to and they were great. It was raining that day and rain ponchos were provided. Loved that! Would completely recommend this company. I had done a bit of research myself before going but had we not taken the tour I wouldn’t have know what I was seeing. So worth the money!

The guided tour Akropolis.
mail4lith
, Oct 2019
Very disappointed we had to pay again for the entrance of the Akropolis.. We payed 34 euro p.p. for the guided tour. What can you do with a guided tour if you cannot enter the museum. And we had asked it on the phone. The visit was far to expensive!! 108 euro for 2 persons!

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry there was a misunderstanding. You indeed paid for the tour and there is an option to book your tour with entrance tickets or not. Clearly on the voucher you book the tour without entrance tickets so since you did not have them you had to pay them to enter to Acropolis. So you did not have to pay again something you did not have it originally. This is very clear on the voucher and on the booking page of the tour as long as the price and what includes. Acropolis museum is a different sight. A different tour and completely difference entrance ticket. That is the museum of Acropolis doesn’t mean has the same ticket. Is actually out of the Acropolis monuments sight. So pricing of entrance tickets and policy of them have nothing to do with the tour but with the policies of Ministry of Culture of Greece. Tour takes place with a professional licensed your guide. In a small group, we provide you cold water and we organize everything to skip the lines and avoid heat and crowds in an ancient sight. Thank you again and sorry if you missed these details as they are printed on your voucher and the product page. We hope to welcome you back.
