This tour may start very early but afterwards, you will be grateful! The Acropolis has a special atmosphere in the early morning: the soldiers hoisting the flag, the beautiful light and the sunbeams falling on the monuments, truly breathtaking! At this time of the day it’s so wonderfully quiet and peaceful, leaving you with a sense of exclusivity! From the top, you will enjoy a beautiful panoramic view and also get explanations about surrounding monuments. The tour ends on the Acropolis so you can continue to enjoy the spectacular views and take pictures.

Getting up early will be more than rewarded!

Excellent family tour of the Acropolis Fotini is an absolutely exceptional guide. We did a tour at 18:00 on a beautiful evening and Fotini enriched our experience with her knowledge, expertise, and hospitality. We have three children and Fotini kept them engaged throughout the trip while also educating my wife and I. I recommend the tour highly!

Leuke en geanimeerde rondleiding Heel leuke en geanimeerde rondleiding gehad op de Akropolis! Fotini heeft ons meegenomen door de lange geschiedenis van het Pantheon, de Nike tempel, …. . Ze kent ook de perfecte plekjes om even aan de drukte te ontsnappen en echt volop te kunnen genieten. Een tour in het Nederland is echt een groot voordeel met kinderen erbij, ze zijn dan veel meer betrokken.

Fantastic Family Guide Fotini was the best guide I have ever had anywhere on my travels! She was clear with her words and explanations, kind in looking after and leading the group and really super with the children. Despite the burning heat, we remember the tour happily! Definitely to be recommended.

Leerrijke rondleiding met een joviale gids We hadden afgesproken met Fotini aan de ingang van de Acropolis. Ze gaf meteen een zeer ontspannen en joviale indruk. Ze nam ons mee in haar verhaal rond en over de Acropolis en slaagde er via haar interactieve uitleg in om iedereen steeds geboeid te houden. Zeker een aanrader!

Amazing Acropolis Tour Guide Fotini was an amazing guide for our first time at the Acropolis. She was excellent at communicating ahead of time and telling us what to expect. She also made us feel comfortable throughout the tour as it can get overwhelming with the crowds. She’s fun and very knowledgeable and we had a blast!
