We took Athens Walking Tours (I’m being very wary of spelling here as there is another very similarly-named company) new early morning Acropolis tour which started at the eye-watering time of 7:45am, but was by far the best option given the immense volume of people who swarm up the Parthenon as the day goes on.
Meet-up was easy and efficient and our guide Georgia was informative, receptive and knowledgable and had impeccable English.
As there was only the four of us booked on this particular tour, we thankfully we didn’t have to bother with earphones or microphones or anything, which was a true blessing! We really were very lucky, as some of the tours we saw coming up later had about 30 people in them and they struggled to find enough space to congregate in the limited space on top of the Acropolis.
The company actually changed our meet-up location the day before we were due to go, but I was extremely impressed with their communication in regards to this. They left me two voicemails, in addition to an email, informing me of the change, and then waited on confirmation that I had received this new info.
I absolutely would recommend both the tour, tour guide and tour company.
