Very smooth tour and a very interesting and attentive guide. She really knows her stuff and is a real asset to the tour.
I was able to buy my tickets directly from the experience organizer, which is very convenient.
I recommend it!

Tour of the Acropolis in French; the group size allows for discussion. You learn a lot and (for us) rediscover the Acropolis from a new perspective. We recommend it. The guide is available and friendly.

Micheal is very nice and engaging. We return home with a baggage of information but also sensations of the Acropolis and the world that gave you the light. Thank you Michael!
