"Our tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum with Alexandros was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we met, his passion for Greek history and his ability to weave a compelling narrative made the ancient world feel remarkably vivid.
The highlight of the experience was the seamless connection he drew between the museum and the site itself. Alexandros provided a fascinating deep dive into the architecture of the Acropolis Museum, specifically pointing out how the top floor is glass-walled and set in the exact dimensions and orientation of the Parthenon. Seeing the original friezes positioned precisely as they would have been in antiquity—while looking directly out at the temple itself—offered a perspective we never would have gained on our own.
The walk to the summit was equally impressive. Alexandros is a fantastic storyteller, enriching the climb with historical context and architectural details that made reaching the Parthenon feel like a true culmination of the day’s journey. If you are looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, engaging, and deeply insightful, we cannot recommend Alexandros highly enough."
"Markella had good reviews and I picked her because she is a licensed tour guide (only licensed guides can go into the Acropolis to give tours.) But my family of five (with two teens and a pre-teen) was blown away by what a fantastic guide she was. She really maximized our efficiency in the museum and in the Acropolis itself, and she was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and kind. Plus, she kept us all interested for the whole 3 hours! When she finished, my family kept commenting to me about how wonderful she was. I STRONGLY recommend booking with Markella. "

Great tour of Acropolis!
"The walking tour with Alexandros was one of the best tour during our trip to Athens. From the start, Alexandros was helpful in providing the logistics in securing the tickets to the slopes and museum. During the tour, he explained in great details of each point of significance along the path and stopped to allow time to refresh and take pictures. Our family truly enjoyed the tour with Alexandros and would recommend him highly should anyone need a guide to visit the Acropolis. The last but not the least was the delicious seafood restaurant he recommended. 😋😋😋"
"Alex is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guide. He very cleverly took us through the history of the Acropolis with very helpful images of the Acropolis throughout time. The Acropolis museum is a masterpiece- and a beautiful introduction but it would be overwhelming without an expert guide. Alex gave us wonderful insights into how ancient Greek culture influences modern Athens and the rest of the world. We finished our tour at dusk when the soldiers lowered the Greek flag. There were not many people around and it absolutely beautiful. "
"This was probably the best decision I could have made for our family trip to Athens! Evanthia is absolutely excellent! She brought history to life, she was very engaging, personable, funny, and an excellent entertainer! I loved the way she conducted our tour through the Acropolis and Museum! We had our two 18 year old children with us, and they absolutely loved it. She helped us all understand the connections between now and then as well as Greek Mythology and the reasoning behind these temples and sculptures! I have been to the Acropolis before, and we have been on many tours throughout Europe - and with Evanthia, I absolutely learned new things and truly am grateful for her."
"Alex gave us an amazing tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum. Make no mistake about it, it’s quite a climb up the hill and we had some trepidation about it. But Alex paced us so there were plenty of chances to catch our breath as he talked about what we were seeing and all the history. Next thing we knew, we’d made it to the top. Amazing view and amazing history. So glad we did the trip, and even happier we did it with Alex- we really enjoyed our time with him!"

A Magical Journey Through the Acropolis
"We had some amazing and enriching hours at the Acropolis and museum with Markella, who was very knowledgeable and pleasant to be with during the three hours we had booked. We experienced all the highlights – both from the Acropolis itself and the museum, which has a fascinating layout. Between all the myths and stories, there was also time for great conversations about Athens, Greece, and much more.
We highly recommend booking a local guide – and especially Markella!"
"I booked Evanthia for a solo tour (it was the only time I had). The tour was great, she provided a wealth of information about the site and the museum. She had interesting stories and was able to walk us through the crowds and point out the highlights without getting caught up in a slow crawl. Sadly I only speak English, but hers is excellent, and so there was no question about understanding her. I highly recommend booking a tour with her."
"Thank you Markella for a great tour! We had to change our start time and Markella was very flexible to adjusting. Markella was very informative as we toured the Acropolis site and the museum. We learned so much that we would not have seen or known had we just walked around by ourselves. We highly recommend you choose Markella as your guide!"
