We visited Athens with our three children (ages 7-12) in August 2024. Panos' tour of the Acropolis was terrific and well-run on a very hot morning. He helped us navigate the crowded complex with ease while keeping the children engaged with fascinating facts and myths. We particularly enjoyed the kid-focused tour of the Acropolis museum. We highly recommend this tour. In fact, after traveling to several archeological sites on a few Greek isles and in Turkey, Panos' tour remained our favorite experience of the trip.
We had a private tour with our guide Lena who was excellent. She had a wonderful personality and was very knowledgeable on the entire Athens experience. Over the course of seven hours we came to really bond with her and by the end felt like we had known her for years. I would highly recommend this tour company and specifically Lena
The tour was very laid back and perfect for an introduction to some of the local food and drink. Our guide was easy to listen to and had some great stories and knowledge of architecture and history to share as well. We were full of good food, drink from some unique spots by the end of the night
