Perfect tour for us six adults. Jenny was so personable and knowledgeable and made our time at the Acropolis really meaningful. She communicated with us promptly (especially about the potential rain issue during our 5pm tour) and was a joy to be with. I would highly recommend using this 2-hour Acropolis Private Tour with Jenny. Five stars!!
Jenny was wonderful! We had a special request for a Live virtual tour for my elderly mother who was diagnosed with cancer and couldn't make a bucket list trip. Jenny was able to connect with me despite the 7 hour time difference to make it happen. She was very sweet and interacted with my mother throughout the tour giving lots of information and visuals so my mother could get as much of an experience as she could. It really made the experience thoughtful and engaging even though we were on a screen.
Jenny M was our guide for a 2 hour Acropolis tour. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and prompt. She has great passion for Greek history and its historical sites, making our tour a great experience. I highly recommend her.
We had a wonderful experience with Jenny! She was incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and engaging, making our tour enjoyable for everyone in our group. We were especially impressed with how patient and interactive she was with our young children—she took the time to answer all of their questions and made them feel included throughout the experience. Jenny truly went above and beyond. When one of our children needed a Band-Aid, she had one ready, which was such a thoughtful gesture and showed how attentive she is to her guests' needs. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine care made the day both fun and memorable. We highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a fantastic tour guide!
I would highly recommend Jenny Malikouti as a guide. We were a group of 6 people from the United States who were interested in a tour of the Acropolis. Jenny was professional, very responsive to messages before our tour and provided a detailed thorough tour of the Acropolis. She patiently answered all our questions as some of us were interested in Greek history and architecture. She made the tour fun and recommended good locations for pictures. After our two-hour experience, we left the tour more knowledgeable with a greater appreciation of the Acropolis. Thank you Jenny!
We had set up our tour of the Acropolis online, trusting and hoping that it would be a great experience for the two of us. We were so fortunate to have had Jenny M. assigned as our guide, as she was absolutely wonderful! She knew every part of the Acropolis and its various temples and was able to explain them to us as the amazingly-knowledgeable person she is. Her English language skills are perfect, and we see from her business card that she also speaks French, German, and Turkish. We only had two hours with her, but if we could have booked her for every shore excursion on the Viking cruise that followed our time in Athens, we would have done so. If you can book Jenny M., you would do well to ask for her.
