The tour was very complete and well explained. We managed to see all the acropolis and get the story of everything as well as interesting facts. Plaka was also worth visit to see some spots that alone without a guide you might missed The guide ( Myrta Maria ) was very nice and answered all the questions we could have

The checkin process was chaotic. Too may tours scheduled for the meeting point at the same start time. The guided tour was so busy, I thought the advantage of the early morning tour would be to avoid peak times. It felt like all the guided tours companies were starting at the same time and the experience was spoilt by not being exclusive. The tour guide was informative but the overall experience was tainted because of the clash with other guided tours. I feel waiting a couple of hours paying the entry fee of €20 and going it alone would have been a more enjoyable experience.

Overall is good. Would have been better if we can go straight to the acropolis early before the crowd gets there. Instead the tour start explaining the lower part first. By the time we get to acropolis gate it was 9:45, already crowded and hot.
