Horaire parfait pour profiter de l'acropole, sans trop de monde , et avec une belle lumière. Guide formidable, parlant très bien le français, sachant donner les explications avec beaucoup de cœur et d'entrain. Le site est merveilleux. Je recommande vivement!

Nikos was a fabulous tour guide. So incredibly aware of people around him, his audience and was super knowledgeable. He also made everyone feel included even though I was traveling by myself. This tour was one of the best I have ever experienced in a place so rich with history. It was even better in the late afternoon to avoid massive crowds and the heat of summer. I would HIGHLY recommend this option.
