Best Athens Walking Tour of the Acropolis
While in Athens for a week we decided to do a few tours of the city. While traveling the world we try and do as many tours as possible. After researching tour companies in Athens we decided to go with Athens Walking Tours and are we ever glad we did. The history lesson that was given to us from the tour guides was nothing less than spectacular. They were both fun and interesting, which made the tour so enjoyable. If we were to recommend a tour company that shows the Acropolis and the Athens old town (Plaka & Monastiraki.) Athens walking tours would be it. In our opinion going to the Acropolis without a tour guide would not be worth it. There's so much to learn that you will not know on your own. We came away from this tour feeling smarter lol and like a history boss of the area. Thank you Athens walking tours for an enjoyable day that we will never forget.
Side note, the line to get into the Acropolis is loooonnnggggg, Athens walking tours has the tickets ahead of time so you don't have to wait. That in itself is worth it.

OUR EXPERIENCE ARRIVING in ATHENS GREECE | PART 1
Day one of our vacation to Greece, arrived in Athens and went out to get some ice cream and kebabs!
We stayed at the 360 Degree Hotel located right on Monastiraki Square (about 1 hour from Athens airport). Location was perfect and we were able to walk to just about everything from here. This hotel had an incredible selection of items for breakfast and also provided complimentary luggage storage as needed!
