Filopappou Hill: Tours & Tickets

We had a great time on this walking tour. We had no trouble finding the meeting point and the guides were very helpful when issues came up. It was a long tour, but very informative and we learned a lot about Greek history from our guide Hermes. Just a word of advice to people going to Syntagma station via metro for the 9:30 meeting time, be very vigilant of your belongings because there is a lot of pick pocketing in the station and metro during rush hour.

Angeliki conducted or your off the Parthenon, Acropolis and Acropolis museum. Even my 10 and 11 year old kids thought it was fun and interesting seeing and hearing about myths, truths and history along our walking tour. Angeliki kept us in the shade, where possible, on a hot day and maintained a not-too-fast, not-too-slow pace with breaks along the way. I especially liked her insights on current restoration activities.

Wonderful morning spent exploring Athens, and especially the Acropolis, with Kostas. The passion he has for the history of his country is contagious ... he gave us so much interesting info, with the odd joke thrown in to keep things light. Could have spent the whole day going around Athens with him. Also, everything was well organized and everything ran on time!!

It was a great idea to have a guide, one of the best parts: skipping the lines. Basilisks was very patient and she has a great knowledge about the tour she gave us a lot of information and taking breaks is strategic places and moments. Please, advise in the website that we have to buy the entrance tickets separated of this services.

Our guide was Costas and he spoke excellent English and made everything interesting. Group was relatively small at about 16 people, there was never a time when it was difficult to hear. He went out of his way to make sure we did not lose people or to find lost people rather than just giving up on them.
