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”

“This tour has been an absolute gem. Maeva makes it a very special experience - she makes you trust her immediately and just leave yourself in her hands. The tour feels like exploration and discovery of a lot of the Athens must sees combined beautifully with the atmosphere which only a person showing you his/her city with heart and love may give you. And Maeva is exacltly this person. Thank you, Maeva!”
