From the moment we met up with our guide Anda we felt as if we were meeting up with a good friend. She was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable, bringing Ancient Greece to life for us. Our tour was 4 hours in pretty difficult weather conditions but Anda kept us interested and amused the whole time. We were a group of 10 friends and at the end of the tour we all agreed she had whetted our appetites to delved deeper into Greek mythology and culture. Thank you Anda and Crispy Local, we hope we have an excuse to use your services again.

We had a wonderful guide, Anda, who was very knowledgeable and excited about the Acropolis and the museum. I would highly recommend this tour.
Was a pleasure to have such a personable and knowledgeable guide to show us around such a iconic ruin in Athens . Would highly recommend Maria !
Anda was excellent. We do note that with ALL these Viator Acropolis area tours, the Meeting Point could be streamlined more-whether w a sign (for groups) or w a name board (like they do at the airport) for privates groups, or a phone call 10 min before, this would help! However, Anda and the tour were both absolutely great!
We had a great day touring the Acropolis and museum with Irene. She is incredibly knowledgeable and customized the time to minimize the crowds and show us everything during our time together.
Great guide! Made it fun for our teenager!
Irena was absolutely amazing. Just a wealth of knowledge and a true historian. It’s easy to see how much she loved sharing the history of the Acropolis from the worship to the battles and the design and construction. 12/10 would do this tour with Irena again.
Elenanthi Andriopoulou is a Licensed Tourist Guide in Greece. She is an expert in Greek history and speaks fluent Greek and English. We chose a 4 hour in depth guided tour of The Acropolis in Athens, which included a tour of The New Acropolis Museum. If you are interested in Greek history, we highly recommend Elenanthi for her comprehensive, interesting, organized, and enjoyable tour.
Excellent tour. Anda was knowledgeable, professional , courteous, and accommodating. Highly recommend this tour..
Our guide Nicoletta was excellent. Very knowledgeable and was a fantastic guide and excellent with the kids. We had a great time
Skip the line and a private tour is the only way to make this palatable. The crowds can apparently be a bit overwhelming. To have our own tour guide, knowledgeable in the extensive history of Athena, was extremely valuable. Eva did a fabulous job.
Private tour for 3 people over 2 days. Day 1 was acropolis & museum tour, day 2 Ancient Agora & Palaka tour. We were lucky to have Anda for both days. What an excellent knowledgeable and entertaining guide Anda proved to be. We had an excellent time, learned many things and shared laughs along the way. Highly recommend to anyone and a joy to be with. Thank you Anda.
Our tour was wonderful from the beginning to the end. Anda was so knowledgeable and passionate about Greek history and the acropolis and museum. We feel like we learned a lot about Greek mythology and the Greek culture and history.
We had the absolute best tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum! Maria, our guide, was exceptional! We left feeling not only like we had learned so much, but that we had lived through an extraordinary experience!! Would highly recommend — and more specifically would highly recommend Maria as your guide!
Great private tour with Nicolette. The 3 hours was a perfect length of time in the heat. Nicolette was informative , interesting and clearly very enthusiastic and passionate about her subject. We particularly enjoyed her manner of explaining the artifacts in the museum. I would throughly recommend this tour.
we had Anda as our Private guide and she was wonderful. She spent time getting to know us and seeing what our interests were the Acropolis is a very busy place and she put us in places where we could hear her and discuss our interests. She showed pictures throughout and really made for a very interesting tour we then proceeded inside to the Acropolis museum. We would have been overwhelmed if not for Anda explaining the various exhibits. She spent extra time with us, never rushed us and made for a very, very enjoyable tour. Thank you, Anda We cannot recommend her enough
Anda was a wonderful guide. So knowledgeable. So worth having a private tour. The acropolis is extremely crowded so having a guide is a must. Take water with you.
This is a truly worthwhile experience if you want to learn about the history of Athens. Anda is a fantastic tour guide with so much passion and knowledge. She offered unbelievable detail and answered all of our questions thoroughly. She made the tour extremely interesting, allowed us to take our time and observe every place we wanted to, and took great pictures for us. The sites are incredible and the museum is not to be missed. Thank you, Anda!
Anda was amazing, she was very articulate in English and easy to understand. She went at our pace up the hill and explained with pictures along the way. She gave us choices on paths and offered frequently to take pictures for us. When we went to the museum she knew where the bathrooms were with no line and because she is a private group we got in quickly. We adored her and will be referring her to our friends coming next month.
This could not have been any better. We had Irina as our guide and learned so very much because of her expertise. She made this tour the best experience of our entire trip. She not only has the expertise in the history and mythology of Greece, but she makes it all come alive by her stories and enthusiasm. She made some very good suggestions for further learning. We are so grateful to her.
Acropolis private tour with Eva. She was extremely knowledgeable and so friendly. She knew so much history about the entire area. I have had quite a few tour guides over the years and I can say she is the best I have ever had! I highly recommend Eva.
We had a great time on this tour. Our guide, Maria was very knowledgeable and able to tailor the visit to our interests. The pace was good and perfect for us.
The tour guide exceeded my expectations! She picked a great meeting spot and Anda was fantastic and explained everything so well, she knew what pieces are original and what pieces of marble are in Britain, she had extensive knowledge of the parthenon when we toured the museum, she was excellent!!!
The Acropolis is a must see when visiting Athens and we highly recommend using a Crispy Local guide. Our guide Anda was a fount of knowledge and generously shared it with us. We had an incredible afternoon with her!
It was the best! Intimate enough that we could learn, with a brilliant guide (Effie, ask for her!) who gave a space to explore and ask questions. It was a beautiful day and perfect to learn about the Acropolis, the language, the history. Highly highly recommend!
We were absoluted delighed with our Artemis Tour of the Acropolis . Our guide was very experienced, appreciated the variety of ages of the group and her timing and information were perfect. We are in our seventies and this was one of the best tours we have ever been on. Our guide, Artemis, made the gods, history and emotions of ancient Athens vivid and inspiring. We highly recommend this tour and THIS guide - exceptional.
We liased with this company to arrange a couple of full day guided tours for nov in off peak season. His respinse was slow and sometimes took more than a wk to reply. The exvuse was he is leading a tour too. But what was frustrating is that as we got nearer to the tour month, his fee quoted went from €300 to €400 and more and from incl tickets to excl tickets. We decided to look for another agency as we hv no faith in entrusting our athens holiday to a fly by night operator. And reading some of the other reviews cobfirms it that this operator can camcel on its customers at the last minute, leaving them in the lurch.
This private tour was wonderful. Our guide was very knowledgeable and geared the tour towards our interests. Our teenage kids really enjoyed it. We recommend.
It would be a mistake to go to the Acropolis without a guide. We had a much more meaningful and educational experience thanks to Anda's knowledgeable guidance. She was wonderful with the children, too. Overall 10/10.
While the Acropolis and Museum are wonderful, it was an amazing tour exclusively because of Irena. We are well traveled and have previously used private guides, but she’s the sole reason this tour was so fantastic for us. She’s incredibly credentialed, skilled, and passionate and I can’t possibly imagine there’s a better private guide for the Acropolis.
We had a wonderful tour with Anda. It was a private tour with just our family of four. Anda provided a lot of interesting information and did a good job of taking us to great photo spots and stepping off to less crowded areas so we avoided much of the throngs of people around us and could easily hear what she was saying. Since it was a private tour she offered us various options for how we wanted to focus our time and attention. After the Acropolis we went to the museum where she continued to give us a private tour of the highlights. We learned a lot about the history of Athens! Definitely recommend this tour.
Anda is a true professional. She is as good a listener as she is a presenter. Our college aged kids were totally engaged throughout the entire time with her. She brought the culture of Greece and the area around the acropolis to life for us!
Tour guide Anda was amazing. So nice to my wife and me and our kids. So knowledgeable and told us just the right amount of info. She never rushed us. She stayed with us the entire time. She is just a pleasure. Best tour guide that we have ever had on all our trips. And we travel frequently.
This private tour was definitely the highlight of our trip to Athens and we would highly recommend it. Having a private tour guide that could enter the Acropolis with you, skip the lines, and provide a detailed history and answer questions is a must do! Anda was our guide and I would highly recommend requesting her. She was very knowledgeable and you could tell that the Acropolis, Parthenon, and the Parthenon Museum are all passions of her’s. We were able to skip the line and go right in and she knew the right spots to visit as well as get great pictures. She is from Athens and had great recommendations for food as well as other places & sites to visit that was close by. We had four older teens with us, and they all agreed that this was one of the highlights of our trip. I will definitely be recommending this private tour to any of our friends that will be visiting Athens!
We had a magnificent day with our guide Anda and learned so much about the incredible history of the Acropolis and Athens. Highly recommend!
Fabulous tour, highly recommend! Ana was very informative, funny and a perfect expert guide for our family. Go in the morning to avoid the heat and hit the museum after the walking tour to see some of the originals while you grab a cold water at the cafe and tour in the air conditioning to finish out the day.
We had a wonderful time touring the Parthenon with our Tour guide, Maria. She was super informative and very friendly / accommodating. We also learned a lot! I would recommend this tour to others, and in particular, with Maria!
Personalized tour of the Acropolis and Museum was fabulous. The day was hot and our guide was skillful in providing the key information, photo spots and access to all the key elements of the tour...truly outstanding.
Great experience. So much to see. ALOT of walking. Bring lots of water. Or tour guide, Anda, was excellent. She stopped frequently and was VERY knowledgeable.
Efi was great. She gave us just the right amount of information and was very nice. She was friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to tour the Acropolis and the museum without waiting.
We had been to the Acropolis and the museum before, but never on a guided tour. Anda was absolutely incredible. Highly educated in history and archeology, her knowledge and passion for her craft is unrivaled. We learned so much in the 4 hours we spent together, and the time just flew by! Having done many private tours across sites throughout Europe, I can honestly say that Anda is the best guide we have ever had. I highly recommend this tour and having skip the line tickets included is a must.
A meaningful and must tour for anyone who wants to learn the history of the Parthenon … the addition of visiting the New Acropolis Museum in tandem with the Parthenon tour offered the opportunity to view the original Parthenon artifacts rather than just reproductions. Anda was a fantastic guide who enthusiastically shared her vast knowledge of the site.
The Acropolis tour was really great and our guide Anda was extremely knowledgeable and her passion for the history clearly came through. She took excellent care of us while there and even walked a couple of blocks outside the site to make sure we found a reputable ride back to our hotel. We highly recommended the tour and especially Anda!!
Our guide was so knowledgeable and pleasant to be with. We enjoyed the whole walking tour. We were a few minutes late to start the tour due to traffic. thankfully she waited and all was great
Anda was the best guide. She was knowledgeable and passionate about Greek history and culture. She answered all questions and gave great insight. Highly recommend and appreciate her and the beauty that is the Acropolis!
What an amazing place the Acropolis is, so much history and beauty. This private guided tour gave us so much more than simply wandering around the site possibly could have. We learned so much of the history of the area and the monuments through our passionate guide. Theodora is such an asset to Athens. She was friendly, caring, well spoken and incredibly knowledgeable. We loved the pride she clearly displayed for her nation and its national treasures that she gave us an introduction to. It was complementary to explore the Acropolis and slopes then the Acropolis Museum, they go hand in hand. We are very keen to come back one day to explore more. Theodora ignited a spark.
Maria did a great job navigating and explaining. She clearly had a plan but was patient also. Very well informed too.
Where do I begin?!! My 18 year old niece and I were SO blessed to have Anda as our personal tour guide up the hill, through all the sites and in the museum. She is an ABSOLUTE EXPERT in her field! Her love of the architecture and history are so obvious in her love of teaching it to others. Reading a tour guide book would never have compared to the ability to hear all the history, see pictures of the Acropolis throughout time that she brought with her, and to be able to ask questions. She was so very personable, as well...keeping us engaged through Q&A, spending just the right amount of time at each spot and making sure we really knew what we were seeing. Going through a tour of Acropolis and its sites is probably everyone's once-in-a-lifetime, and having that individual attention given in a private guided tour is worth every single penny!
