Once in a lifetime experience - It can get truly hot! Wear comfortable walking shoes & clothes and a sun hat. Take a lightweight back pack or something to carry some water and maybe a snack - we took a large nectarine and peach and they hit the spot! An amazing expedition!!!

Great tour and guide! - Amazing experience! This is obviously a must see in Greece and our tour guide, Kiki, was tremendous. She made the experience wonderful. Not too much history, kept us moving, helped us find shade from the heat and was generally very nice and funny. An engaging guide. She also took us through the Museum. Would highly recommend you spend time going through the Museum with a guide as you get lots of great context. Overall a great experience and easy to manage among the bustle of the Acropolis.

Best tour, best guide - Bring at least one refillable water bottle, preferably two or three per person. There is a lot of walking and climbing ramps and hills. A lot of the terrain is rough, so comfortable shoes only. The tour was incredible. Mine was lead by an archeologist - I’ve unfortunately lost his name, but a tall, young gentleman with dark hair and a short beard. He imparted a lot of deep knowledge, but also was thoughtful in the tips he gave us about where to take pictures, where to step, where to rest, and tried to find shade for us at every opportunity. Do yourself a favor and include the museum. Not only is it filled with great artifacts, a shop, and several restrooms, but the floor is unique, and I’ll just leave it there so as not to spoil why.

Little Anna delivers a Rich History - Our guide was Little Anna and she was wonderful! Had we not taken this tour we never would have gotten as much knowledge out of these historical sites. Highly recommend.

Tour with 2 kids - Was an amazing experience, our guide Natasha was so knowledgeable. I almost shed a tear at the end. We travelled with a 12 and 9 year old, they never complained or got bored and we did the WHOLE thing including the museum which I recommend not to skip. It got a little crowded even at the 8AM time but having a great tour made all the difference. She knew how to navigate the everything to get the best views and avoid crowds.

Disappointed with pace of morning group - The tour was fine, the tour guide was not. We purposely took the first booking in the morning, to beat the morning rush. Our tour guide had different ideas. She took almost 90 minutes to finally reach the summit, which was entirely packed at this point.
