★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 32 reviews · 4 hours · from $57

Review of Athens’ Spanish Acropolis and Plaka walking tour, including the 4-hour route, ticket costs, guides, views, and practical tips.

“Hoy tuve el tour de la acropolis + barrio de plaka, con la guía Efi. Excelente experiencia y guía muy amable, entusiasta y con mucha experencia. Se nota que está muy preparada. Lo que más me gustó de la visita es que Efi permite descansar, tomar fotos y disfrutar realmente de la acropolis. Muy buena empresa top tour greece, confiable, muy buena comunicación en todo momento. Lo único que lamento es que por la época del año no tengan disponibilidad para el tour guiado del museo, porque sin duda lo habría contratado con ellos! Recomiendo completamente este tour Saludos”
