We mainly came for the acropolis but the tour through old town was a super nice surprise. It gives more perspective what happened over time in Athens. The guide Tina was super knowledgeable and took great care of us.

Wonderful experience, I absolutely recommend. (In my case, I also purchased a visit to the Plaka district, the ancient city.)

I couldn't hear the guide as well as I wanted to. She spent a lot of time on mythology instead of archaeology. The tour of Planka was good.

The tour was very complete and well explained. We managed to see all the acropolis and get the story of everything as well as interesting facts. Plaka was also worth visit to see some spots that alone without a guide you might missed The guide ( Myrta Maria ) was very nice and answered all the questions we could have
