    This is the Acropolis/Parthenon Tour you should book!
    KatelynG, Oct 2023
    I’m so glad that I booked this tour. Everything was well organized, no wait to see the acropolis and Parthenon. The tour provided headsets to easily hear what our guide was telling us about the landmarks. Our guide, Annie was fantastic! She remembered all of the people in our tour, where they were visiting from and was so friendly and knowledgeable. She used many examples to help us consider the grandeur of what we were seeing in relation to things in our modern world. She was humorous and answered all the questions. I would recommend this tour to everyone!
    Excellent Tour!
