I traveled by myself so took time to view the exhibits as much and as little as I wanted. I preferred this to being told many facts and figures which I would have forgotten before I was out the door. I liked seeing some of the pieces in their stages of deterioration to remind me of how many eras and years they have been around to help me understand that great art has been with us throughout time.

As a history lover , I was able to immerse myself in what the Acropolis once was. I didn't get the audio guide , perhaps I should have however , there's information everywhere with pictures and fragments to give you the great historical experience . Views of the city also amazing !

The whole experience was very well planned and executed, we got exactly what we wanted and even more! Maria was a great guide, very sweet, with great knowledge about the Meteoras and their history. The balance was great between the guided tour and when we were left alone to explore for ourselves. The lunch was great, with a few options to choose from. Everything was beautiful, will advice all my friends to join this tour if they are travelling to Athens. :)
