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

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.
Great guide and experience

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!!
Excellent

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.
