Review of Athens’ private Acropolis tour, with licensed guides, included tickets, Parthenon insight, timing tips, and honest value advice.

“Our guide was knowledgeable. 3 star rating as i find the operator not trustworthy. One of our friend fell sick and we contacted the operator to check and move the tour to next day. Their first response was that they have already bought entrance tickets. When we said we’ll pay for those if they’ll help us change date to next day, their response changed to all the tours for tomorrow are sold out. Which was not true we could find availability on Viator and could very well book the tour for next day (i have screenshots of the booking page) I would caution anyone booking this as they weren’t truthful…”

See Athens’ Acropolis at sunset with a licensed guide, skip-the-line entry, and a small group limited to 15 people.

“Tour was nice and informative. Need to wear a comfortable walking shoe or sneaker with good grips on the soles for walking on the rocks and marble ground. Walking up wasn’t too bad, the incline and stairs are gradual. It looks worse than it is. Although, going there is best in the early morning or before sunset, when it is cooler. It is hot here in the summer. Once reaching the top, you will have great views of the city and ruins.”
