Visit Athens’ Acropolis with a timed mobile ticket, audio guide or live guide, and explore the Parthenon, Theater of Dionysus, and more.
“The experience was well worth it! The audio guide is a smartphone app with all the landmarks and explanations about the site's history. The Acropolis is beautiful and definitely worth a visit!”
Explore Athens’ Acropolis and Museum with a licensed guide, ancient theaters, Parthenon treasures, skip-line museum entry, and practical tips.
“Very informative, enough information to keep it interesting but not overwhelming with deep facts. Chrysa was friendly and fun, she lead the group brilliantly and her storytelling and explanations were excellent. It was well organised from start to finish. Warning- if taking a child on a child ticket, they may check your passport/ ID for verification. This wasn't in the guidance but happened to a few people. This is hopefully useful for other guests.”

“Knowledgeable engaging guide, easy to understand her English. She really made the tour. Excellent guiding.”
Ride Athens Riviera to Cape Sounion, explore Poseidon’s cliffside temple, and watch sunset on a five-hour trip with multilingual audio guide.
“This was a fantastic place to visit. Even though it was cloudy and we didn't get much of a sunset it was really interesting exploring the whole site and checking out the fortifications. It was well worth the entry price to the site.”
Visit Delphi’s Temple of Apollo, museum, and mountain village of Arachova on a guided day trip from Athens with transport included.
“The bus was very comfortable. The boarding process was smooth and the staff were efficient. The service was punctual and kept to stated times. The driver was skilled and the ride was smooth. Our guide Marianna was excellent. She was very knowledgeable, being a Professor of history, she made the narrative interesting and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.”

Review of Athens Walks’ Acropolis tour, with expert guides, Parthenon views, practical tips, ticket choices, and honest value advice.
“Anna was an amazing tour guide. Exceptionally knowledgeable and personable, she made my solo trip to Athens that much better. Full of humour and banter whilst giving in depth descriptions and insights to each of the sites we visited. I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting the city. I went on the 8.30 tour and I’d recommend going early as we started to see it get busier and busier.”
Trek Crete’s Samaria Gorge from Chania with transport, an English guide, a ferry ride, and free time at Agia Roumeli.
“Sara was an excellent host and very thoroughly explained everything we needed to know prior to arriving at the gorge. The bus does stop at a cafe before entering the gorge so you will have an opportunity to get a sando or snack bars. Sara’s instructions were very clear and easy to follow & she was extremely knowledgeable. She gave us recommended times to hit each major checkpoint to ensure everyone kept pace within a manageable timeframe. The hike is almost entirely downhill and there are some extremely steep and slippery slopes. It is manageable if you are prepared.m: you absolutely need hiking boots w ankle support or sneakers with…”
Explore Delphi from Athens by air-conditioned bus with VR audio guidance, museum entry, mountain villages, and excellent value at $30.
“Definitely recommend. Bus was on time and our tour guide Vasilis was great. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history, and although this isn’t a guided tour, he provided us with plenty of information about the site/surrounding locations on the bus. He was also really friendly and kept everyone interested by adding humour to things he was explaining. A credit to the tour company. Delphi itself is definitely worth the visit, and regarding the other reviews which mention traffic, on a Saturday in November it was fine. One thing I would say is if you are under 25 it’s worth buying your ticket there, as it’s half price…”
Explore the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum with timed tickets, a local guide, headsets, and a focused three-hour small-group tour.
“Our tour of the Acropolis and its museum was truly generative and enlightening, thanks to Eva’s profound historical expertise, her energy and her infectious, vibrant passion for Greek heritage. She possesses a rare gift for storytelling, blending academic rigour with a sharp humour and open-mindedness that made ancient history feel both relatable and alive. Beyond her vast knowledge, Eva’s genuine consideration for our pace and her intuitive, patient nature ensured every moment was comfortable and engaging. It is uncommon to find a guide so articulate, charismatic, and inclusive, and she turned a simple sightseeing trip into a deeply meaningful cultural exchange.”
Visit Athens’ Acropolis Museum with a mobile ticket, optional audio guide, Caryatids, Parthenon Marbles, and views of the Acropolis.
“Loved using this audio guide as we could walk round at our own pace and stop and admire the views if we wanted. Also great to skip the queue at entrance.”
Visit Athens’ Acropolis with a timed ticket and optional audio tour, covering the Parthenon, Theater of Dionysus, and sweeping city views.
“Good audio that goes into detail about the history of the Acropolis site. Easy to follow and download.”
Visit Knossos Palace in Crete with a timed phone ticket, optional audio guide, and freedom to explore the Minoan site at your own pace.
“Great experience for history lovers. The palace is bigger than what I was expecting so was pleasantly surprised. As an advice: go early to avoid crowds before 12 and bring a hat”
Visit Delphi from Athens with an official guide, museum entry, mountain views, Arachova, and an optional lunch on this full-day trip.
“You spend so long in the car for 45 min at the site and you don’t get to see everything. You spend most of the time at crowded rest stops or on the bus. Not worth the 7 hour trip for 45 min at the archaeological site.”
