Fantastic setting. We had such a fun evening with Katerina who shared great stories as we cooked delicious food. They served us dinner outdoors overlooking the Acropolis, so the setting was even better than we were expecting.

I crossed my fingers that this would be a good tour, but I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect. Well I’m happy to say it exceeded my expectations and was a WONDERFUL way to spend a morning getting to know Athens.

Nayelli | Sep 24 | First Access Acropolis
We enjoyed an excellent "highlights tour" through Athens Walking Tours in 2014. Based on that, we booked AGT40B (Acropolis & Parthenon... Extended Edition") for our return in 2024. The early start was worth the effort because we beat the crowds and heat. Niobe, our guide, was excellent. She was informative and easy to understand and walked at a manageable pace for the group of 15 to 20 people. She even knew a shady spot where we could get off our feet. It was particularly special to peer into the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, where we attended an outstanding concert the

Our guide was amazing, made a conscious effort to keep us cool. Stopping in the shade to talk and kept us engaged with relevant history/facts often relating it to where we were from.

Niobe was fantastic, so knowledgeable and took wonderful care of us. It was warm but we always stopped in the shade. So much information on the history of Greece & the Acropolis. We had a wonderful walk. Recommend booking early morning if possible.
John | Jun 24 | Acropolis Tour
Very well organized tour. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly Guide. Seeing the temperatures and the crowds really the best way and time to visit the Acropolis.

Jason | Jun 24 | Athens City, Acropolis & Museum Tour
Angel was a wonderful and entertaining guide! He provided great descriptions and cultural contexts for each delicious dish we enjoyed. Angel also provided excellent and informative histories of the various sites and places we passed on our tour. My wife and I raved about our experience with our family. I highly recommend this tour, and Angel as a guide.
Jack | Jun 24 | Athens Old Town Food Tour
Easy skip the line - early entry allowed for good photos without the crowd. Tour was quick (1.5 hours) and left most of the rest of the day to explore on our own.
Barry | Jun 24 | First Access Acropolis Tour
Rina was amazing for our first ever walking tour. Incredibly knowledgeable and very easy to listen to. We learnt and enjoyed it so much. Great experience - our 11 and 9 year old got so much out of it. Thanks Rina!
Nicola | Jun 24 | Athens City & Acropolis Museum
The Acropolis and museum tour was great. Alice provided good historical context and explanations without overwhelming with too many facts. We were so glad we did the tour vs. going on our own and learned a few things along the way. Definitely recommend.
Maya | Jun 24 | Acropolis & Museum Tour
We had such a great Acropolis tour, Niiloletta was such a personable and informative tour guide, we learned so much and the tour went a good pace where we were truly able to experience the history of Acropolis!
