We learnt a lot about the history of the acropolis ruins, we discovered new things about the acropolis beyond the Parthenon (the theaters, the entrance to the acropolis, the Erechtheion, etc), and we had all our thousand questions beautifully answered by our guide Aphrodite. Thanks Aphrodite for a great tour!”

“Super simple way to see the Acropolis and other sites. We arrived early for our 8 am time slot and it was already busy, with the already purchased tickets we were able to bypass most people and go right in. Really glad we chose an early time as it is HOT. It was fairly simple to navigate all of the sites, however I do think we missed some somehow, I would suggest getting a map to be sure you get them all. Overall it was wonderful and an excellent way to start our trip”

“You just cannot go wrong with Viator. This was another excursion that was affordable and infinitely pleasurable. Irene was our tour guide and since we are off-season, it was only my husband and myself for the tour. Irene is a wonderful teacher and tour guide who breaks things down to understandable terms and asked questions which was helpful for cementing all of the information that she imparted. I’ve done many chores through Viator, and they have never disappointed. I cannot recommend them enough.”

“Vicki was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. We were an early tour which meant the crowds were much less and she was very considerate and accommodating for all participants. It was also cooler earlier. Unlike us, all the other members of our tour stayed on to do the Acropolis Museum with her too and I wish we had done this. Both are a must see in Athens and both are much better with a guide.”

“Amazing! We had one full day to explore Athens before our itinerary took us to the Greek Islands. There was no way we would have seen this much of the city and learned of its history and culture on our own. A wonderful day! Thank you! Our guide was a knowledgeable local female who was funny, charming and absolutely made this a highlight of our trip to Greece!”
