Excellent tour of Acropolis and Agora!
Aaron_B
, Sep 2021
We had an excellent tour of the Acropolis and Agora! We met right on time and the location was easy to find. The ear-pieces worked great for listening to the guide, especially in crowded areas. Our guide was wonderful. She was an archaeologist, extremely knowledgeable with a clear passion for the material, and had a great sense of humor. She led us on an excellent tour, full of information, and kept us in the shade as much as possible. There was plenty of time for photos along the way. And the group was kept to a small size, probably around 10 people. Highly recommend!

our guide Marika was great. Fun information about the myths. You do have to pay 30euro per person for entrance fees (not included in your coat) so just keep that in mind for your budget.
