Our tour guide was fantastic. We appreciated his extensive knowledge and ability to speak good English. He made the tour fun and educational. We only had a short time in Athens and this 3 hour walking tour was perfect. When we saw some of the larger tour groups, we were thankful to have just four in our tour.
Well worth doing!

Arianna is the BEST. She provides an incredibly thorough tour while keeping the conversation lively. The tour feels meandering with plenty of stops but you will end up covering A LOT of ground. We were seriously impressed with how much fascinating history she was able to impart. She is also a great source for local recommendations. We took her up on several.
Highly HIGHLY recommend

He gave a lot of history about each of the ancient ruins on the tour. Very polite. Gave multiple points of views on the history and stories. Got to see a bunch of the different attractions/historical points with the guide and then got to continue to explore them at our own pace after the tour.
All worthy tour!

This private walking tour at the Acropolis was great all thanks to our guide, Dimitra! She was very helpful and made sure we were comfortable. She even helped me booked our tickets to the site. Her explanation were detailed but remained interesting. Our teen daughter was very entertained & engaged the entire tour because of her. Will definitely recommend Dimitra if you want to book this tour!
Quick, informative tour with great guide!

We had only one free day in Athens and wanted to see the Acropolis. Stefano, our guide, was wonderful because of his historical and cultural knowledge base. He was most patient and answered our many questions with clarity. Stefanie was always concerned for our safety making sure we walked on stable surfaces. At the end of the tour he gave us clear directions for our next destination - The Mew Acropolis Museum. I highly recommend this tour especially if you are lucky enough to have Stefano as your guide.

Unfortunately, there were some problems with organizing the tour. We were much earlier in the assembly point for our private tour, but the tour guide came about 30 minutes later than the set time. We had to call the agency Withlocals to clarify the situation. Then, the tour began with a delay. The guide (Kostas) was competent, but I would recommend for such kind of visits that he would be able to offer a more fascinating and emotional lecture. Especially, when we waited patiently for him to appear at his workplace and we have lost some of our time and money, he would at least have to compensate us with a fascinating presentation of the information and at least to have apologized for the delay. But we are generally pleased to have touched the rich history of Athens. Thank you
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
