Our tour guide was sooooo friendly and helpful. We had a prompt and smooth pick up from Old Parlliament and a smooth ride with audio out of Athens to Cape Sounion Attica region. The sunset was beautiful and we got back to Athens after 5 hours in a timely fashion. The tickets into the Temple of Parthenon cost 20euros extra

Visiting the Acropolis Museum was an awe-inspiring experience- like stepping into the soul of ancient Greece. The carefully curated artifacts, marble masterpieces, and immersive storytelling brought to life the grandeur of a civilization I had only admired through books and lectures. Being fascinated by Greek mythology and philosophy, it was surreal to finally see the Parthenon sculptures and artifacts in person-each piece whispering tales of gods, heroes, and timeless ideas. It’s more than a museum; it’s a philosophical journey carved in stone and light!

We visited in June and had an incredible experience at the Acropolis and Museum. The weather was perfect, the crowds were manageable and obviously the site was awe-inspiring. Our guide Elizabeth was fantastic. She is an archeologist with a special interest in architecture. Her knowledge of the Acropolis and history enhanced the tour. She loved questions...and we asked tons. She was able to engage both the teens and my elderly parents. She stealthily guided us to the top of the Acropolis which my 80 year old parents did not think they could do! She was the BEST. Thanks!
