Fantastic tour with Evanthia

We had an incredible experience with our tour guide Evanthia at the Acropolis! She was not only extremely knowledgeable but also had a captivating way of bringing history to life. Every detail, from the architecture to the myths and historical events, was shared with such enthusiasm that it made the ancient world feel vivid and relatable. We especially loved the way the guide highlighted lesser-known facts and stories, making each stop truly memorable. This tour was engaging, educational, and entertaining—a perfect blend that left us with a newfound appreciation for the Acropolis. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of this iconic site!

Amazing informative tour

On our yearly men's event we travelled (4 of us) to Athen. We booked Markella for an Akropolis/museum tour early in the morning. It was just an impressive, informative an entertaining 3 hours tour. We learned a lot about ancient history but also discussed topics of the current greek society. Highly recommendable tour! Thx Matkella for the good time

Very experienced tour guide

Alexandros was an excellent guide who brought us and our 4 children around the acropolis and acropolis museum. He taught us so much about the history of the acropolis, the gods and goddesses and the origins of each building. He made it interesting for our younger kids too. A super tour!
