Best Way To Explore Acropolis
Cici, a trained archaeologist was our guide and was absolutely phenomenal. I hope she reads this review because she made the tour with her humor, knowledge, and teaching style. At one point, I had to get out my phone to take notes because I didn’t want to forget what she said about philosophy and Greek mythology. This tour is a must-do, and if you are lucky enough to get Cici as your guide, you won’t be disappointed!

Magical experience
This was undoubtedly the best way to visit the Acropolis. During our stay in Athens, we visited the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum, as well as the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Ancient Agora, and the Temple of Poseidon. A truly magical experience, especially if you’re a fan of Greek mythology.
