Guide was very knowledgeable and the headphones were great! We did a lot of tours on our trip and the headsets were always staticky and went in or out. This tour was great!

Tour guide was great. Of course the site was great Only criticism would be that the tour route did not respect the original approach was meant to be. We only followed that route on our departure down the hill. Feels like we took the "back door" in. Knowing how important the ceremonial route up to the acropolis is, this was a disappointment to have missed the "proper" promenade experience. That said, the information provided on the route we did take, was informative and well presented. Still would recommend the visit without a doubt. I mean, it's probably the most significant site to see if you are interested in the cradle of western civ

The guide we had was awesome. She answered all our dumb questions and made each question important. I was a little slower than the rest and before she proceeded up the hill she made sure we were all there. Our guide was so knowledgeable and she made it interesting Not just all facts. I am from the west coast of Canada so this was a once in a lifetime experience . It was worth it.
