The late afternoon walking tour was great, especially that it ended at the top, where you could linger for the sunset on your own. First time so can't compare the crowds but there were plenty of people about but it did not affect our tour. The lady was knowledgable and made it a pleasant and informative tour. I would recommend it for a first time visitor for sure.

We walked to the site from an offsite location, which we were not expecting. But our guide was knowledgeable and moved at a great pace, never rushed us. We saw a lot more of the whole site than I expected which we loved. We were looking for an early morning tour. We wish we had set out up the hill a little faster to beat the onslaught of crowds but the guide worked well with it. Cool day and great views.

Excellent tour group and guide. Margarita was an extremely knowledgeable person who took her time and explained the history of the Acropolis and the museum. Highly recommended.

A licensed archeologist guide will lead the way, taking you through the historic city of Acropolis. Admire the astounding collection of sculptures along the way that house over 2,500 years of history. From the 1st theater of human civilization (Theater of Dionysus) to the Agrippa Monument, you'll see it all! See the Temple of Athena Nike and the gateway to the Propylaeum. Explore the remains of the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheum. At the iconic Parthenon, you'll be privy to some of the best views of Athens. Pick up on fascinating tidbits of history at this classical site in the Western world!

You can also go for the private guided tour as it offers you a chance to visit Old Town.
