Guide was loaded with much information
Robert_E, May 2024
The guide certainly was armed with much information but I do have several suggestions that would have improved the tour: 1) Guide should hold up something - a flag or whatever so guests could easily identify them. With so many crammed into smaller space it was easy to lose guide. 2) guide should use at least an I-pad instead of phone to shoe relevant pictures. Phone was too small to see the pictures. 3) So much information was given it would have been helpful to have a handout so guest could review the info later - I would have found that to be very helpful
Great info, incredible....

Great info, incredible. Impressive museum. It’s too bad the British Museum wouldn’t give back the pieces they took to get closer to the complete collection of artifacts. Ijota was great!!
Good guide
Helen_H, Apr 2024
Excellent guide but hard to hear with headsets we were given. Also the group was larger than promised.
Great tour but sore ears….
Kathleen_D, Apr 2024
Our visit to the Acropolis was wonderful. Anna Maria was a very informative and patient guide who brought ancient Athens to life. The entire tour, Acropolis and museum, was the perfect amount of time. I’m giving this tour a 4 star rating, however, because the earbuds used were very uncomfortable. I noticed many people on our tour removed one or both as the morning progressed. Earbuds with a small amount of foam are far less irritating and just as inexpensive. Why not offer them?
Touring the Acropolis and Museum

The tour was wonderful. Our guide Lisa was very knowledgeable. She explained everything in great detail. She didn’t rush us had us take our time review everything. I would highly recommend this guide.
We loved our Acropolis Tour
Gareth_G, Mar 2024
We enjoyed a fascinating and entertaining tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon and Acropolis Museum with Selina who went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience learning about the history and culture of Athens.
Nice tour
Anna_K, Mar 2024
We had a great guide who was a former journalist. I think that made the tour interesting. She was engaging and brought photo illustrations to put into perspective what we were observing.
A day with Artemis, our guide

Lengthy tour with loads of amazing sights and information. Guide was excellent and my only suggestion is to improve audio devices which were difficult to hear at times.

Fantastic experience! Leeza or Leza (Lisa) our walking tour guide did a phenomenal job!! Highly recommend this tour!! We can't say enough to do it justice! It was a beautiful morning and the Acropolis of Athens and its Museum was perfectly timed and ended just about 1pm in the eatery area to get an authentic Greek meal.
Wonderful experience!

Great tour!
Rachael_B, Sep 2023
Kostas was a fantastic guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a passion for the history and the artistic details. I highly recommend this tour. Wear good solid walking shoes and try to book in the morning to avoid the heat. Museum was also worth the extra time.
Lovely rainy day experience
