Traveler Tips

  • "It's definitely better to go at 4PM since it's cooler at that time and there's a great breeze at the top." See review
  • "The paths were quite slippery in some areas, so it was a challenge to get to the top." See review
  • "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." See review

Our guide Kimon was amazing! The sunset tour is the perfect time of day to experience the Acropolis in all of her glory. There were far less crowds and the views were majestic. Kimon is an expert in both architecture and history, so he spoke passionately and enthusiastically about the Acropolis and the city of Athens. He even memorized our names during the tour to make our experience more inclusive. Impressive. Highly recommend.

Doerena was simply excellent. In addition to her comprehensive knowledge of history and mythology — she connected the past with today. A highlight of our trip.

One of the best experiences in Athens

I had the luck to get Mariza for my tour guise and she was absolutely incredible! This tour was one of the best I have ever had. Specifically I can say the 4:30 sunset tour was an incredible time to go, and you get to see the removal and march-out of the greek flag at the end. (tip: go to the museum for a good three to four hours of reading and exploring because then when you see the actual acropolis you will know a bit about it up front) Mariza was just so passionate and wonderful and very very engaging. I can't recommend this tour enough.

Perfect Acropolis Tour
Jim_H

This tour was outstanding. Dorina was excellent. She speaks with such knowledge and passion and enthusiasm about the history and events. Although the tour was two hours long we could have listen to her for another two hours. Two hours was the right length for the tour. It was just the right amount for walking up to the acropolis with many stops in the shade to hear stories and information. And then we got to the top of the acropolis we had sufficient time to tour the site. Dorina left us at the top at the end of the tour so we could spend time on our own taking even more pictures and wondering about.The acropolis is of course the highlight of a trip to Athens for a first time visitor. This tour was the perfect way to see it. Although I will point out that it does not include the museum. You would have to do that separately. Five stars for the tour at 10 stars for Dorina.

Must go!! Great experience, Dorina, our guide, was very knowledgeable and clear. I would definitely repeat this tour (or any other if it was with the same guide or company). Helped us with the baby stroller and kept it in the office since we couldn't take it up the acropolis. Very friendly and smilely!
