    Our private family tour of the acropolis and acropolis museum was excellent thanks to our tour guide Georgina. She was such a friendly and warm person especially towards the children and had a wealth of knowledge of Greek history. Her information and stories made our experience so much more interesting and kept the children more engaged . We thank her and recommend her and this tour to any one that is considering booking. Thanks Georgina and Viator!

    The private tour was nice since it was just 4 of us and the guide. The guide was Nikoletta who had a lot of nice stories and information for the Acropolis and Museum. She did a nice job of not overwhelming with information but giving enough to be interesting. The 8am tour took a long time to get in line to get into the Acropolis area and then a very long time to get to the top of the Acropolis. This allowed tons of people to get to the top of the Acropolis before us so it was very crowded by the time we got up there. Would be a better experience to get to the top quickly since it was first thing in the morning and then do the leisurely stories on the way down I think. All in all a good experience, but its always going to be a zoo up there so you have to be prepared for the crowds.

    Must do this tour early bc the liens get really long and it’s HOT in Athens. Kate gave us a private walking tour of the Acropolis and the New Acropolis Museum. It’s was HOT but we found shady spots to talk and look. Kate amazed us with the depth and breadth of her knowledge. She spoke of the long history of the Acropolis, the associated myths and architecture. Really a worthwhile trip to learn of the rich Athenian history and culture. I highly recommend.
