What people are saying about National Observatory of Athens

We enjoyed the tour and would definitely choose it again. We had a great morning, but we were also lucky that there are not too many tourists in February. P.S. Angela is great!

A spectacular tour and an excellent guide (Angela, archaeologist). A visit like this is impossible to take advantage of without knowledge like yours. Essential.

Our guide, her english is a bit hard to understand, but she is trying and very informative and helpful. I am still giving her a 10

Angela, our guide, gave detailed explanations throughout the walk. Our questions were also answered promptly. Thank you Angela!!

Very interesting and perfect way to learn about this ancient famous site.
