We are so lucky to have booked this wonderful this Golden Hour Acropolis Tour in the Afternoon Light! Let me start by saying that the organization from start to finish was great! We met at Fresko Yogurt Bar to receive our audio headset and get our Acropolis entrance tickets. Our guide Eva was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a wonderful history of everything we covered in a way that was interesting and engaging. Our group ranged from very young to seniors, including myself and she was extremely patient and kind, making sure to include all of us.

This was an amazing tour and our guide was very knowledgeable about Greece and its ancient history. The only thing i would recommend to change would be to speak more while walking and limit the amount of time we stand and listen for.
Martha F

Your feedback on balancing walking and standing is valuable, and we’ll keep it in mind to enhance the experience. We do include stops to offer a bit of rest, but we’ll continue to fine-tune the flow.
