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

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!

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!

Best part of our trip!
Nicole_S

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!
Rachel_S

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!).
