Of course the Acropolis and ruins were amazing but our guide made them come to life. Hearing the history behind each temple and statues made our trip complete. Absolutely schedule this tour and our guide Nikolous!!!

Despina met us right in front of our cruise ship right on time. She was very friendly and knowledgeable, telling us about Athens as we drove. She had confirmed with me in advance as well, very professional. We were taken straight to Acropolis and met our guide, Maria. Maria is a government sanctioned tour guide for the Acropolis. She is very knowledgeable and had nice visual aids to go along with what she was talking about. However, our group included 5 children ages 10-15. Maria launches into a monologue and pretty much doesn’t stop for 2+ hours. It really got to be a bit too much and too long, particularly in the sun. Also, it’s a lot of Greek mythology, which I’m far less interested in vs actual Greek/Roman history and modern Greek heritage. It was very hot (and crowded) and the kids were languishing. We all were. Maria is great, but not that great at “reading the room”. Or maybe she is compelled by the government to say everything (and then totally repeat it several times). We stopped for a lunch and some shopping in Plaka. I would have preferred less Acropolis and more Athens, to be honest. The bus is very nice and the driver was wonderful as well. It’s a good way to see Athens but it’s A LOT of the Acropolis. Not sure I recommend this tour for families with kids younger than ours, definitely recommend for adults interested in full history of Acropolis.

We had a great experience in Athens. We were picked up on time in a very nice vehicle at the port for the five of us. Our tour guide (we think here name was Helen) made sure to get us to the Acropolis early to avoid the heat and crowds and gave us really great information about the site. She was friendly and warm and patient with my two teen daughters. After we were taken to a nice area where we had a wonderful lunch. If you are worried about Athens being crowded, I highly recommend this tour.
