Summary:
The tour operator sent timely reminders. Meeting place was convenient, and check-in was very easy.
The tour moves at a leisurely pace, up the southern slope. Our guide was very engaging, and provided an in depth explanation of the various historical, social, cultural and political aspects of the various monuments.
If you are visiting Acropolis, we’ll strongly suggest this tour, and opt for the entrance tickets as well, along with the museum.
