An unforgettable tour with an outstanding guide - I have visited the site twice before but this tour told and showed me more than the other 2 combined. Our guide, Despina( (Deppy) gave everything context and depth beyond a regular tour guide. She was friendly, caring, passionate and exceptionally knowledgeable about all aspects of the site and its role in Greek history. It was without doubt the most fascinating and immersive tour we had anywhere in Greece. The best 2 hours you could spend at the Acropolis. Highly recommended

Very satisfied. One complaint. - Very satisfied. Guide was very informative. Radio ear piece made it easy to hear even yards away taking pics or lagging the group. I am 80 and was worried about keeping up or even being able to make the climb. It is steep in parts but with several stops to hear about what we were looking at it was fine. One complaint: the address for the meeting point and ticket redemption is entirely IN GREEK ALPHABET so you can’t type it in to your phone !!! It would help if they mentioned that it is a snack bar on the corner of the street two hundred metres from the entrance.

Great way to see the Acropolis! - A great and educational group tour, with experienced tour leader. Highly recommended! (We did not include the museum as we did not have the time.)

Acropolis Parthenon audio walking tour - Very informative, audio player with new headphones handed out for every audio tour. Makes it great so everyone can hear in big group settings while moving between locations and sights to see.

2 hour walking tour of the Acropolis - We did the 2 hr walking tour with a guide of just the archeologicalsite. The headsets/earphones intermittently worked. Some uphill walking but doable for 2 seniors in their 70s. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We opted not to do the museum.

Partenon closed to the public - Unfortunately, the Partenon is not currently open to the public and that is really what you are here for. Unfortunately, that is not indicated anywhere before entering.
