    Very superficial I guess it is not the guides fault. They have to address a wide range of guests with wildly differing knowledge of Greek history. They have to find a common denominator which is quite low. Accordingly the comments stayed superficial with little in-depths information. Depending on your previous knowledge about Greek history a self guided tour with the excellent guide book from the museum shop might be more satisfying.

    Sympathetic Tour Guide with Greek Accent Kostas has been a most competent guide, explaining history of Athens in a well comprehensible way, with very good Englisch grammar and rich vocabulary. Sometimes we found his language slightly difficult to follow, due to his greek accent and his rather low voice. Maybe some audio aid with head phones would help? Anyways, the content has been excellent.

    Fantastisk Vi kan inte bli mer nöjda med vår guidade tur på Akropolis mm med vår Guide Alexia. Turen vad över alla förväntningar. Vår Guide var både historiker och arkeolog, och vi fick ut maximalt med information och kunskap. Inträdesbiljetterna till attraktionerna var inkluderade i priset, så vi behövde inte stå i dom långa köerna för att komma in. När turen var avslutat tog hon oss vidare på eget intiativ och visade oss några gömda pärlor i Plaka. Hon skrev även en rundvandring och ett schema som vi kunde göra själva dom andra dagarna så vi skulle få ut maximalt av resan. Vi ger henne och turen toppbetyg.
