Our tour guide Katarina (?) was amazing and funny. Her stories were great and she helped us navigate the crowds and was very contentious about the other tourists.

An excellent tour. Simon was a great guide. Very knowledgeable. He was able to engaged everyone in the group. He was constantly looking out for us to keep us safe and in the shade as much as possible. He brought all the history to life. His humour was great. Half the group continued on to the museum and again Simon took us to the most interesting parts in a logical and relevant order. I highly recommend this tour.

Your experience

Discover Acropolis

Your adventure begins with an entry to the Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Led by a licensed guide, you'll ascend the slopes, passing the Theatre of Dionysus, one of the oldest theaters in the world. Reaching the summit, prepare to be awestruck by the architectural marvels – the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom; the Propylaea, the grand entrance gate; and the Erechtheion, famed for its Caryatid maidens. Your expert guide will bring these monuments to life, sharing their fascinating stories and architectural significance.

Go deeper into ancient history

After soaking in the breathtaking views, descend the Acropolis and head to the awe-inspiring Acropolis Museum. Here, with your guide, explore the captivating displays of artifacts unearthed from the Acropolis itself. Marvel at everyday objects, and breathtaking sculptures, and learn how these pieces fit into the grand narrative of Athenian history. The museum's modern design, with glass floor sections revealing the archaeological site beneath, adds another layer of intrigue. Opt for the early morning tour to avoid the crowds and experience the Acropolis bathed in the soft glow of the morning sun.
