Traveler Tips
- "The Acropolis has a very rough terrain and some of the stone has been worn slick and can be very treacherous especially for those with knee or ankle problems." See review
- "If you arrive early you can do some shopping on the street or sit down and have something to eat." See review
- "A note of caution should be made that the tour is rigorous and lengthy, requiring a long climb over slabs of stone and marble on narrow paths." See review

Excellent Tour! Cannot recommend enough

Great tour - perfect pace & level of detail from Antonis Kampas!
Katharine_W
, Jun 2022
Our guide was Antonis Kampas, and he was AMAZING. We aren’t usually “tour people,” ‘cause we tend to get frustrated - either they go too short on details (where we’re interested), or too many details (where we’d like to move on already).
BUT - not this tour! He handled the long climb to the top of Acropolis perfectly, with regular stops to explain what we were seeing. Everyone on the tour was able to handle the pace, from the little kids to their grandparents - and no one was bored. We chose the 8:30am time, which was a REALLY good idea; by the time we were finished it was getting crowded AND getting very, very, VERY hot. Go early in the morning!!
Antonis also always made sure to ask if anyone had questions, and added details/pictures that were fascinating & helped put the Parthenon and all the temples into context across a few thousand years of history. Can’t recommend him, and this tour, enough!
Make sure the app is...

Make sure the app is working when you look up the meeting point ! Or best look it up the day before , in my case the app did not work and I could not find the meeting point in time. Also the are no signs of the operator , only a table outside a cafe! I found the whole experience disappointing , and to short
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hello Susanna! We wanted to let you know how sorry we are that you went through that difficult experience.We perfectly understand your frustration, however we cannot be held accountable for the Viator app not working. After booking the tour, you received a confirmation letter with our contact details. Should you had contacted us, we would have guided you through in order to find the meeting point on time. Moreover, of course there are visible signs with our company name when our guests arrive on time. However if you arrived at the meeting point long after the start time of the tour, it is only natural that you did not see our signs and our operations staff, as we are extremely punctual with our timetables. We hope that next time you are in Athens, you will allow us to offer you the best tour of your life. Have an amazing day!
Unforgettable and Amazing experience

Had to cancel due to testing positive for COVID but because I couldn’t predict testing positive beforehand I couldn’t get a refund. I will never book with them again!
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Dear Keiona, first of all we would like to wish you a speedy recovery! Unfortunately we received a message one hour prior to your tour start time, saying that you could not attend for medical reasons. However the exact reason was not specified. Of course we refund covid cases! Please contact us by email or sms the soonest possible, and we will try to resolve the issue asap. We're looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day, and get well soon!
Worth it!

Great Acropolis walking tour
Jennifer_K
, Jun 2022
Interesting and educational tour of the Acropolis! This company was very accommodating to us that day as we were late arriving in the morning ( issues at our hotel) and then my daughter got sick. We were able to reschedule later in the day and had a wonderful and memorable tour!
Best part of our trip!

Vicky was an incredible tour guide. She was enthusiastic, engaging and had answers for all our questions. She stopped lots of times on the way up to give everyone a chance to rest all whilst telling us interesting stories about the ruins around us. She also came prepared with a booklet of illustrations that brought to life the partial structures left today.
We did the 8:30am tour which finishes at the top, by the time we decided to come down (11am) it was getting really busy up there on a Wednesday, it was also really hot by that time as most shade had gone so keep this in mind if you pick this time!
Fantastic tour!

A fantastic tour that was definitely worth going on! Our tour guide was Niobe and she shared so much interesting information. One of the people in our group is 65+ so we were worried that hiking up to the acropolis might be difficult, but Niobe did a great job of making the trek managable for them and taking breaks (helpful for everyone to get a break in the shade!).
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Those stops in the shade come in handy, dear Rachel! We want to sincerely thank you for your truly kind words. Guests like you make us want to try even harder and be the best in what we do; such heart-warming feedback! We look forward to you next visit the soonest possible! Have an amazing day!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave context to the historical information so we could relate to the stories. He also set a good pace as the climb to the Parthenon can be quite steep in places. Great job.
Wonderful

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
