An unforgettable experience! The Parthenon’s grandeur and the Acropolis Museum’s rich collection left me in awe. The guide was excellent, providing clear explanations and engaging stories about ancient Athens. The tour was well-paced and allowed for ample time to appreciate both the archaeological site and the museum.
Very informative and well-organized tour. The views of the Parthenon were stunning, and the Acropolis Museum offered deep insights into ancient Greek culture. The only drawback was the large crowds, which made it a bit difficult to enjoy some of the exhibits fully. Still, a great experience overall.
