Overview of your Athens tour

We will start the tour from the Acropolis. The ancient monuments built on top of the hill reflect the power, wealth and spirit of Athens in the golden age. We will see the temple of Nike, walk through the Propylaea and see the Erechtheion and the temple of Parthenon, the masterpiece of ancient Greek art and architecture. We enjoy the panoramic view of Mars Hill, the ancient Agora, the temple of Zeus and the theatre of Dionysus. We will then walk to the museum, where thousands of artifacts from the Acropolis area are exhibited. Among them, we see daily life objects and original breathtaking artwork from the Acropolis temples including the original Caryatides and the Parthenon sculptures. We continue with a walk in Plaka, the oldest section in the city. At the end of the tour you have several options to enjoy your lunch, do some shopping, or simply explore it.

Eugenia was an excellent tour guide. With only a few days in Athens, she was able to give us a comprehensive picture of the history of Athens, Greece and its people through the ages. Her knowledge of history and art was amazing. Take her tour!

Eugenia was very knowledgeable and tied together so well the history we experienced at the Acropolis Museum, Acropolis Hill and the surrounding area. She was very thoughtful and accommodating of our requests. Highly recommend.

Eugenia is a wonderful tour guide- she tailored the tour perfectly to fit our family's needs. We learned so much about Athens, the Acropolis and Greek culture. She went out of her way to suggest restaurants and to even show us where to find the best Greek desserts and coffee. Her personality and knowledge made the day exciting even for my 18 year old twins! If you are looking for a tour guide, you have found the best!

This is why you hire a guide and why you should take some time and effort to find a really good one. Even before I booked, Eugenia promptly responded at some length to my initial inquiry, addressing the specific questions I raised. Her knowledge of the Acropolis and its museum are remarkable, but just as importantly, Eugenia worked hard to understand and meet our specific interests and capabilities, and she offered very helpful advice on making good use of our time elsewhere in Athens. Highly recommended.

I spent 2 days in Athens with Eugenia. She was an outstanding guide who was both knowledgeable and engaged. She is very experienced and sometimes, this means that a guide may be very bored providing the same information repeatedly every day. This was not the case with Eugenia and I really appreciated the effort that she made to show me as much as possible. She also had great advice on what to see and when. I would give her my highest rating

We had a lovely morning with Eugenia at the Acropolis, Acropolis museum, and Plaka area! She communicated with us beforehand and met us promptly at the meeting point so that we could get an early start before the crowds and heat. She shared lots of interesting anecdotes throughout the day, and kept all of us (teenagers included) happy and engaged. Highly recommend!
