Hello !! My name is Spyridoula and I am a licensed Greek Guide, based in Athens, Greece. Being a licensed guide in Greece means that you have studied for 2 years in a special Guides Academy which is under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Tourism and have traveled all over Greece for ad hoc training. Besides being a guide, I have a solid background in the cultural field. I am a specialist in Archives and Museums Studies as I hold a PHD in the field of Digital Humanities and a Post Doc in a combination of Digital Humanities- Sociology and Economics. I have been an active researcher and university professor- not continuously- in the above fields since 2009 . But I don't give lectures during my tours!! I like having fun with people, because I love people!! I have met people from all over the world, people of various backgrounds and ethnicities and every time I realize that despite our superficial differences, we have too many things in common. So, being a guide is a gift for me!! A gift for the soul and mind! I do tours all over Greece and I am open to special inquiries from my future visitors. I am looking forward to meeting you!!!

Acropolis is the most visited monument in Greece. Acropolis hill and the monuments on it are included in UNESCO's World Heritage List. We will enter Acropolis from its south entrance which gives us the chance to visit important monuments, such as the Theatre of Dionysus, the first theatre in the world, the Acropolis' ancient hospital, called Asklipieion, Herodion, the temple of Athina Nike, the Propylaia, the Parthenon and the Erechteion. We will have the chance to have also a look over the ancient city centre to the hill of Pnyka, Areopagus, the hill of Philopapos and the Ancient Agora. Then, we will climb down to walk to the Acropolis Museum. A 20-30 minute break is necessary before starting our visit to the Museum. We will visit the museum to see the findings from the excavations on the Acropolis Hill and all the genuine sculptures belonging to the temples of Acropolis, including the Parthenon. This tour can be customized according to your needs.

Spyridoula was just like the title of tour, amazing. She was very accommodating to our needs and was a wealth of historical knowledge. We were very glad we able obtain her services for this tour.
Spyridoula provided an excellent tour of the Acropolis, its museum and the surrounding neighborhoods. She was friendly, knowledgeable and focused on topics that were of personal interest to me. She seamlessly weaved the history of what we were seeing into our natural conversation which made for a really excellent tour.
This was a fantastic walk through history with our guide, Spyridoula. Our kids, aged 9 & 11, really enjoyed the tie in to more modern references of the Greek gods and the adults were impressed with the depth of knowledge.
Very interesting tour, Spyridoula is very knowledgeable and know how to keep children passionate about Greek history. Well balanced between the museum visit and the acropolis tour Big thank you!
