I liked seeing the Ancient Greek ruins. It was cool to see the architecture of one of the most influential civilizations in the world. Using my ticket could not have been simpler as well

I mistakenly booked an English-language guide but with a couple of messages to support via whatsup they solved it within 2 minutes. Very satisfied

Your Experience

Your tour will start with an introduction to the democratic system of ancient Athens and how it came to be. At the bottom of the hill, you will see the temple of Hephaestus and learn about Solon, a statesman whose reforms were instrumental in creating the earliest civil society in history. Up ahead are the ruined remains of the Bouleuterion which was the assembly house of its time. You will listen to stories of renowned Athenian individuals such as Pericles and Aristides the Just from your audio guide as you continue your walk through the attraction.

The Museum of the Agora is incredibly fascinating, with a great deal of information about the ingenious, but sometimes cruel methods by which the ancient Athenians defended their democratic values. You can catch some stunning views of the Acropolis from the Rock of Ares and the hill of Pnyx. While ascending the hill of Philopappos, see the prison of Socrates, as you get some insight into the life and death of the renowned philosopher. Your tour will come to an end in front of the theater of Dionysus, the oldest theater in the world, and within easy reach of the Acropolis archaeological site.
