Antonia was brilliant with her historical knowledge and given she is an archeologist, was an excellent guide.

Our guide, Charoula, did an excellent job. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of historical information about the Acropolis as well as Greek mythology. We did the early morning tour to beat the heat and crowds, and we're glad that we did because it became much more crowded later in the morning. We walked quickly to the top of the Acropolis and she began her interpretation once we got up to the top and on the way down the hill. The museum was fascinating with some great artifacts.

We really enjoyed this tour with our guide Alex. He was super informative! I can’t imagine trying to tour the Acropolis without the knowledge of a good guide.
