What people are saying about Theatre of Dionysus

My girlfriend and I visited Athens in the first week of January of 2023. The Acropolis, Parthenon and Acropolis Museum are must sees for first time visitors to Athens. Our tour guide Zeta was incredibly engaging, knowledgeable and very attentive to the needs of our tour group! She seemed to be an endless vault of information and answered all of our questions without skipping a beat! My girlfriend and I are in our early 20s and Zeta felt like our mother! We were so sad when she left! I would definitely recommend this tour with this company to anyone, one of the best tours I had while traveling!

Easy to purchase and 100% when they say you SKIP THE LINE! I turned up at about 8.30am and there weren’t many people in the line but when I left at 10am there were at least 70/80. Buying my ticket online and being able to just show it at the gate saved me a lot of time if I had turned up later.

Excellent tour! We appreciated that our guide, Stelios, had a background in archeology and gave us detailed explanations of everything we saw. He was enthusiastic and had great energy, too! Two hours was the perfect amount of time.

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

Our guide Alexia was fantastic. Knowledge, enthusiastic and set a great pace. We all learnt so much and had a really great time
