What you can expect

Travel back in time on an informative and fun tour of the Acropolis of Athens. Guided by a field expert and licensed tour guide, discover the UNESCO World Heritage site through a journey into history, mythology, and storytelling.
Continue with a visit to the Acropolis Museum, which has been ranked as one of the top museums in the world. All the original surviving masterpieces from the temples of the Acropolis are displayed with the use of natural light. Excavations are also visible under glass floors and walkways.

Visit Acropolis hill. See the Dionysus Theatre, where famous ancient dramas and tragedies were first performed. Walk around the stunning Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the sanctuary of the healing god Asclepius.
On the top of the hill, visit the Propylea Temple of Nike and the Erechtheion Temple. See the Parthenon, which is the symbol of democracy and western civilisation. Dating back to the 5th-century, these monuments are testimonials of the glorious ancient Athens and the Golden Age of Pericles.

Step into the contemporary marvel that is the New Acropolis Museum, nestled just a few minutes walk from the Acropolis site. Crafted by architects Fotiadis and Tschumi, this architectural gem cradles the treasures of ancient Greece within its glass embrace. From the ground floor's immersive glimpses into daily life to the first floor's enchanting original Caryatids (five residing here, the sixth in the British Museum), and culminating on the top floor with the extraordinary Parthenon frieze and a recreation of Parthenon, next to the breathtaking view of the Acropolis. Each step is a stroke of history, inviting you on a timeless journey through Athens' legacy amid architectural grandeur. Explore the allure of classical antiquity at the New Acropolis Museum.

Our guide Nicholas was a wealth of information. Much more enriching experience to have a guide rather than walk around aimlessly. Particularly in the museum. Big group of about 20 people but with the provided headphones it worked.

Great group and everybody was super interested, because of our amazing guide Costas! Such a funny and smart person with tons of knowledge, he could answer all questions immediately. Ask for him when booking this tour. Unfortunately, it’s way too many of us (tourists) and it can be annoying and exhausting when walking through big crowds one after the other. No chance to get a clear shot of any of these monuments, and I went offseason!

The tour was amazing. Our guide was an archaeologist himself, dedicating to the excavation of the Acropolis. We were very impressed.

Having a mini break in Athens meant a visit to the Acropolis had to be done. Our tour guide, Natasha, was herself an Athenian and led the tour with a wealth of knowledge to pass on - on the history of Athens, the Acropolis and in the Acropolis museum. Things were not rushed and Natasha was ready to answer any questions anyone had during the tour. Visiting on a warm day made the tour more pleasurable.

We really enjoyed our tour with Simon. He was very knowledgeable and provided us with interesting information and facts, including stopping at sites on the walk up to the Acropolis. He also provided a great tour of the Museum. We were very glad we took the tour and would recommend it to others.

The tour was comprehensive, informative, and fun. “Soter” was an entertaining tour guide who really tried hard to share as much knowledge as possible whilst not boring the group, which was just the right balance.
