I have seen the Acropolis many times online & tv but it cannot be properly appreciated until such a historic site is seen in person, not to mention all the various sites & artifacts on the path up to it. However, nothing prepares you for the sight of the Parthenon! It is truly wonderful & see inspiring! 1 of my friends has travelled far & wide, much more than me, & he actually said, " I think this is the greatest thing I have ever seen!"

Our tour guide, Maria, was fantastic whom told us great history about the 6 monasteries including the geology of the area. We visited 3 monasteries of which Varlem was the best. She was very passionate and funny. I would highly recommend this tour and having Maria as a guide.

Awesome experience! No wait early in the morning. We used the side entrance. We were at the top exploring before the huge crowds arrived. The Acropolis is a phenomenal experience!

Fantastic. It was easy to book and the tour is really complete. Also recommended in the combo version, with tickets for the acropolis and the agora. Compli

The whole experience was very well planned and executed, we got exactly what we wanted and even more! Maria was a great guide, very sweet, with great knowledge about the Meteoras and their history. The balance was great between the guided tour and when we were left alone to explore for ourselves. The lunch was great, with a few options to choose from. Everything was beautiful, will advice all my friends to join this tour if they are travelling to Athens. :)

The hop on hop off tours are the best way to see new cities when you arrive. There were plenty of seats, it was clean and the audio guide worked well.
