Excellent narrative for the entire tour, but particularly the 2000 year history in 10 minutes. The guide paced the tour appropriately to enable the whole group to navigate the climb up the Acropolis. Early in the tour she provided historical background describing the epochs in which major events occurred in the area, and associated the events with movies or other pop culture that most of the attendees could appreciate. It was the right level of detail for a tour that could easily have taken twice as long.

Our tour guide, Eva, was exceptional! With her extensive knowledge of the ancient history and more recent history, she was able to tie the importance of so many historical events together. She included explanations of many of the philosophical teachings of the icons of Greek philosophy.

We loved this tour, mostly for the time of day. We had wonderful weather that made the afternoon tour very enjoyable. Would recommend the museum tickets and you might get lucky enough to have a small group (2-3) that does it so a semi-private tour.
