We loved everything about it. The tour started on time. Our guide was very well informed on the history of the acropolis and the Parthenon and was eager to share with us. The museum experience was wonderful and we were glad for the guided tour. The entire tour lasted about 5 hours. Worth every penny!

Selina, our guide, did a very good job! Sharing her great knowledge in an interesting and funny way. We can recommend the tour to both the Akropolis and the museum. It gives so much more than exploring on your own.

Our guide was amazing! She spoke clearly and provided a lot of background information on everything we saw. The information was presented in a manner that was interesting and not boring. She gave us plenty of time to explore on our own and expertly guided us through the crowds.

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.
