Traveler Tips

  • "It's definitely better to go at 4PM since it's cooler at that time and there's a great breeze at the top." See review
  • "The paths were quite slippery in some areas, so it was a challenge to get to the top." See review
  • "Beware as there is a good amount of walking to do but that’s the case with the ruins in general, not just This tour." See review

Great First Greek Experience
Peg_a

Very informative and historically rich in details. Nice to have such a wonderful tour guide and ear pieces to hear all throughout the tour. Plenty of stops along the way in the shade at key locations. Tour ends at the top with glorious views of the city and Parthenon.

Amazing artifacts!!
Michael_C

The tour guide was extremely informative and fun! We were provided with receiver and ear bud as she spoke into a microphone so we caught every word of the tour Wear comfortable climbing shoes! Hat and sunscreen highly recommended. The operator provided sunscreen in their office. Pro tip: make sure your Uber or taxi driver reads the address of the office. We gave the address to the door man and he translated for the taxi and we wound up at the Zeus temple. Then we had to ask three different people for directions. It’s a good thing we left an hour in advance as it was 35 minutes to find this place.

Our guide was incredibly friendly, very knowledgeable and considerate. Anytime he could he would find shade for us (June is one of Apollo’s favorite month). He was very receptive to questions and great story teller. I wish he had been my tour guide for my other trips.

Dorina with walk Athens is an awesome guide. Was able to explain the significance of acropolis and Parthenon to athens. Though it is a long way up it was just a breeze with her with all the information she was giving us. The afternoon tour is likewise better since the heat was manageable.

Our guide Stelios was amazing. Gave tons of great insight and information. He was very kind to make sure all of our stops were in the shade (except for the top where there is no shade). He was very helpful and understanding, our daughter struggles in the best so he did his best to make sure she was ok. I would give more than 5 stars if possible, great company and awesome guide!!
