The Thudor Dragojevic family (my wife, our two teenage sons, and I) had a fantastic experience with ArtyTours during our tour of the Acropolis in Athens. Our guide, Mr. Georgio Panagos, was simply exceptional. He was calm, patient, incredibly friendly, and demonstrated outstanding knowledge of Greek history, culture, and mythology. More than just a tour, it felt like attending a fascinating history class, presented in a clear, engaging, and enjoyable way for our entire family. His passion for his work made our visit to the Acropolis even more meaningful and memorable. It was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. We highly recommend ArtyTours, and especially Mr. Georgio Panagos, to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Athens with a truly professional and knowledgeable guide. Thank you for giving our family such a wonderful and unforgettable experience!

The best guide ever!! George Panagos is very intelligent in the history, super attentive.
Great Athens Sightseeing Spanish Guided Tour with Acropolis and Museum. Very knowledgeable guide. A must do for Spanish Speakers. The museum experience is great.
I've traveled with Viator several times, and it's always been wonderful. I can't say the same this time. We arrived at the meeting point at the scheduled time, and there was no one to greet us or explain anything about our tour. There were more people like us. Half an hour, or maybe more, later, the tour operator guides, Arty, arrived. The rest of the excursion was satisfactory; our guide's explanations and attentiveness enhanced our trip to the Acropolis.
I could not write a better review! This was definitely the highlight of our trip! From the beginning, it was SO easy to coordinate with the InfoArty coordinator (Christos). They were responsive to their emails, all our questions, and meeting our needs. We were assigned Marita (our BILINGUAL- English & Spanish tour guide) for BOTH days and successfully saw all the corners of Athens, it's beautiful landmarks and even the Cape Sunion Coast. EVERYTHING was covered, from the tickets, to our transportation and guide. We were recommended great lunch places and could not have had a better experience. We were a large group of 12 and this was everyone's favorite part. Could not have been more pleased with Marita! She switched perfectly between English and Spanish! Will definitely recommend this to any and all my Athenian lovers!
When I arrived, they told me that the meeting time was a little later, and the tour said a different time (the one I arrived at). Also, for the museum, they took our headphones away on the bus and I couldn't hear well. I was more focused on listening than on being able to appreciate what I was seeing. Other than that, everything was fine.
George C Panagos guided us on a journey through time, introducing us to the political, cultural, theological, and social context to appreciate the sculptural and architectural details of the Acropolis and the museum. He was always attentive to the group, didactic and friendly, using humor and examples to convey his knowledge and passion to us.
George C Panagos was a very experienced guide, at all times he explained to us with great clarity and in an enjoyable way, always taking care of the whole group. Excellent guide
It has been a wonderful visit. Athens is beautiful. Many thanks to George C. Panagos because he gave us a wonderful tour. He is a fantastic guide with a great sense of humor who transmitted his passion for the art and history of the city to us, managing to move us and make us enjoy the whole tour from the first minute. I wish he could be our guide for all of Greece.
Wonderful! Greetings to the guide, George C. Panagos
It was a guided tour by George C Penagos, from whom we highlight the valuable historical facts he shared with us, as well as the enjoyable way in which we toured the Acropolis and the museum. George is very professional and fun. He masters Greek culture in perfect Spanish. We recommend him.
Excellent experience! It is worth it! George Panagos was very attentive and helped us understand and appreciate the experience!
Excellent guide from Panagos Giorgio. A very good experience, the tour was very interesting and also fun. 10/10
George c. Panagos is wonderful as a guide and as a person, very approachable, worrying at all times that everything is perfect and that you take away a good memory, it shows that he likes his profession
Wonderful and complete. Full of learning thanks to our guide, George Panagos. He made everything exciting, fun, and easy to understand. A 100/10 guide!!!!
We took the tour with the guide George Panagos who made it pleasant and gave us very interesting information about the places we visited. Highly recommended.
We had an exceptional guide, George C. Panagos. Truly splendid, a delight, a very good communicator, and fun.
Our guide was George C. Panagos. We only have words of praise for his work: full command of Spanish, extensive historical knowledge, maximum patience, and great kindness throughout the tour (Acropolis and Museum). We want to express our gratitude to George again for his performance, which will ensure we always remember such a positive experience. Thank you, George
The guide George Panagos was excellent, very structured, we learned a lot. Thank you very much.
We took our tour with George C. Panagos, an absolute marvel, you can tell when a guide enjoys their work. An unforgettable experience.
Our guide, George C. Panagos was spectacular. We fell in love with the passion with which he gave us the tour and his kindness was extraordinary. A 10 in everything.
I did the city tour of Athens with Georg Panagos, from Arty Tour. Excellent guide, he knew the subject matter, was concise, and pleasant with his good-humored twists.
We did the Acropolis tour, the guided bus tour, and, finally, the visit to the Acropolis Museum. The experience was spectacular, not only because of the impressive heritage we were able to see, but above all because of our guide. George C. Panagos has undoubtedly been one of the best tour guides I have ever had in my life. He explains everything clearly, pleasantly, and entertainingly, with examples, anecdotes, and a great sense of humor. But what really makes the difference is the passion with which he conveys his knowledge. At times, his explanations even went beyond history and made you reflect on important aspects of life, incorporating philosophical reflections that enriched the experience even more. It is clear that he is a true professional and that he enjoys what he does. If it were possible to choose the guide when booking a tour, I would choose George C. Panagos every single time. A totally recommendable experience.
My partner and I did the Acropolis + Acropolis Museum tour today with George C. Panagos and it has been a wonderful experience. He was very attentive to the whole group and kept giving us cultural tidbits throughout the visit to help us better understand what we had before our eyes. All the explanations were very pleasant as well as educational.
We did the route with George Panagos. I would recommend the experience and especially this man as a guide. He educates, he teaches you about his land with passion. I am taking away a great memory. In the photo we can see George teaching us as if we were his students and for one day it was wonderful to be them.
We visited the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum with George C. Panagos and the experience was incredible. The site is impressive on its own, but having someone who explains things clearly and in an approachable way makes it much more enjoyable. He knew the history very well and told us interesting and curious details without making it tedious at all. It was clear that he loves what he does and he managed to help us better understand what we were seeing. A highly recommended tour. Thanks for everything!
Excellent guide, he provides significant data to increase our knowledge of antiquity and interpretation of the era, entertaining. Excellent human connection.
Very good attention and dedication from the guide Panagos.
The guide George C. Panagos 10 points, he was excellent in what he conveyed to us about the history, the Greek culture, before and during the climb to the Acropolis and the Museum. He took care of every detail to capture the group's attention. Thank you George for your dedication and enthusiasm! Group of 4 friends from Uruguay!
The guided tour with George C Panagos was super complete, fun, and very instructive. The guide had an impressive command of Spanish, as well as extensive knowledge of the history and the monuments we visited. 100% recommended.
A wonderful visit; it is the second time I have visited Athens and the Acropolis, and as time has passed, I liked it more on this visit. The guide who accompanied us, George C. Panagos, was exceptional, with explanations in perfect Spanish, including anecdotes and taking into account the age differences in the group. He perfectly managed the timing, the access, and the difficulties with the crowds, and the visit was wonderful. If you take this excursion and get this guide, you will remember Athens for the rest of your life.
Fantastic experience. George C. Panagos has made my second visit to Athens much better than the first. And looking forward to doing more. It has never been more true that having a good guide makes a visit unforgettable. Both the Acropolis and the new museum in Athens are must-see visits. The museum has been one of the best I have visited in my life. An exceptional building for history.
George, the guide... perfect explanations both at the Acropolis and at the museum. The information, the timing, the explanations, everything perfect. Highly recommended.
The guide George C Panagos is an excellent professional. He has extensive knowledge and is very clear in his explanations.
We loved the visit package to the Acropolis, its museum, and the panoramic view of Athens. Our guide, George C. Panagos, made the experience pleasant and rewarding. A great professional.
Excellent visit with the guide George Panagos; we came from Argentina and we took away a lot of information provided very kindly by him!
We just finished the guided tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon, and museum. Our guide was George C. Panagos: HORRIBLE. He was in a rush the whole time, he kept our museum ticket so we weren't able to go down to the excavation area, a shameless person. He didn't let us see the top floor where all the Parthenon marbles are because he spent 15 minutes forcing us to post positive reviews on TripAdvisor, and then we had to pick up the bags we had left, but there was only one single ticket, and of course, he had it, so he didn't even give us two minutes to see the top floor; he automatically rushed us out. A great deal for tickets that cost 30 euros. Certainly the worst experience I have ever had while traveling.
Our guide George Panagos showed us history in a super fun and approachable way, making the hours of the two visits fly by for us among a bunch of anecdotes and fascinating stories. The truth is that his passion for what he does is noticeable, and he transmits that at every moment. Highly recommended to take these tours with him! Without a doubt, we would do it again
Exceptional visit to the Acropolis and museum with guide George C. Panados, a great expert on the history of Athens. We felt very well accompanied. Thanks for the great organization
We took a tour with this company for a trip at the end of July. For the price, the tour was fine. But there are a few things that I did not like. We had to wait more than an hour at the meeting point. The guide did not know how to answer questions that were beyond what he had planned to answer, and instead of saying “I am not sure” or “I do not know,” he just answered something that had nothing to do with the question. Also, the guide did not stop at the Theater of Dionysus to be able to take photos, knowing that that area cannot be seen on the way down and that it was listed in the tour details. Which I think is a shame because we chose this specific tour because it said it included this theater. The details also said that we could take photos for 15 minutes at the Olympic stadium, but they did not let us get off the bus to do so. And the guide was also suggesting we have lunch at a place that seemed like a total tourist trap, which generally leaves a bad impression. I don't know when I will return to Athens, but on the next trip we are not going to choose this tour company.
The guided tour was excellent, the experience of learning about Greek history was incredible, and the guide George C. Panagos was very attentive; we are grateful for the explanation he gave us in Spanish and his recommendations on where to eat and shop at a good price.
Fantastic tour of the Acropolis and museum, also the panoramic view from the bus passing by the city's most iconic sites. Special mention to our guide George C. Panagos made the tour pleasant, fun, full of good anecdotes, and provided a spectacular introduction to the history of Greece.
George C. Panagos, our guide, was extraordinary: very professional, kind, and with deep knowledge of Greek history and archaeology. His explanations were clear, interesting, and exciting, making every room and every piece come to life. In addition, he answered all our questions with great warmth and enthusiasm. Without a doubt, a totally recommended visit for those who wish to understand and enjoy the extraordinary cultural heritage of Greece. Many thanks to the guide and the entire team for an unforgettable experience. Maica and Jordi
Very good excursion and the guide, George Panagos, was excellent.
Distinction for tour guide George C. Panagos, very educational in giving explanations and complete context of the places being observed. The tour was extremely complete for a half day. 100% recommended.
TERRIBLE service from ArtyTours. They left us stranded at the meeting point because we were not on the list, then they came back for us because it was their administrative error, and when we got on the bus there was no room left and we had to sit separately despite having arrived at the meeting point well in advance.
The visit to the Acropolis was very good, and Ricardo's explanations were excellent. The museum was very good, and Ricardo continued to enlighten us with great patience throughout. I would have liked for us to pass by the front of more sites.
We did the tour with George Panagos, and it was truly a wonderful experience that I recommend to everyone. Very good knowledge of the city and the history of the Acropolis, which is also narrated in an engaging and educational way, with a rather sharp sense of humor that energizes the visit. I would also recommend doing the joint visit with the museum, as it expands the pass through the Acropolis and provides a more complete view that is well worth it. Thanks to Panagos for everything, as he was a charming guide who also behaved very professionally during a small problem we had when some of us wanted to re-enter the museum after finishing the guided tour.
The excursion to the Acropolis was an incredible experience. It is an amazing place, full of history and beauty, which is exciting and unforgettable to visit. Our guide, George Panagos, did a fabulous job. His explanations were very interesting, clear, and enjoyable, making the visit even more special. Without a doubt, a completely recommendable excursion.
George C. guided us. Panagos did a marvelous job. Very good explanations, entertaining, fun, serious, and totally recommended
