    Great view & great exercise option
    Amazing view. We were there for sunset and was crowded, as expected. Was not easy to find the fanicular car. A nice workout to get to the base of the hill. Worth the effort & a to do while visiting Athens

    Fantatsic views of the city from its highest vantage point.
    It's a steep walk up but well worth the effort for the views at the top. The only place where you can see the whole city laid out before you all the way to the sea.

    Give Urban Athens Collective a chance and you might get more than you bargained for!
    I was fortunate to be the only client on tour, so Dionysus/Dennis agreed we could wander into places I had not been yet and so we did. My extended conversations with him were a highlight of my Greek trip. I peppered him with questions.... Well educated about the historical sights we were seeing, both ancient and modern, Dennis gave me historical context, shared his views about culture and politics and gave me a sense of what it is like to be a Greek in this modern world. I appreciated him greatly, as well as the walk around what I considered to be greater hidden gems, the Monasteraki and Psiri neighborhoods, which I might not have gotten to on my own, or with such insight into what makes those neighborhoods unique.

    Wonderful historic site with an excellent Tour Guide
    Booked the early morning tour and skip the line tickets. Little bit more expensive but meant we were ahead of the crowds and completing the tour before it got too hot. We booked with Viator who were easy to deal with and who provided an excellent tour guide, Artemis. Artemis was the perfect guide. She was friendly, fun and very very knowledgeable. She pitched her tour perfectly with just the right amount of information, history and direction. She even knew where the best places were to get the perfect photo/selfie. We visited in October and found the weather great for sightseeing. Not too hot but nice enough not to need coats etc. It also meant that the crowds weren't quite as big.

    Visit to the Acropolis
    When buying my tickets I noticed that preferential rates for over 65 year old are only to EEC and EEA citizens. Surely it can’t be legal to discriminate against over 65 year old from other countries in this way.

    The person who guided me (Eleni) was beyond amazing! She accommodated the schedule due to a problem with subway (fires), and I was stuck at the airport, trying to check-in at the hostel and show up for the tour! Best part: I didn’t ask! She offered as soon as she heard I would not make on time! Besides that, she took me to places where I barely saw a tourist, but I found many hidden gems (indeed), such as graffiti, and she also has a lot of knowledge about the places (she will share everything with you)! Eleni also pointed out places to eat and what to order! I had a great time and I recommend this tour and her!

    I really enjoyed the tour with Elena Gkika...(Explore Athens from home). Eleni was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the city. She was very informative, knows everything about the history of the city and I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to see the real Athens. Thanks Eleni Gkika!!!

Great tour! We took a baby along, and he was a handful a few times. She was very patient with us and our slow moving group, as well as exceptionally knowledgeable.
