    Our guide was excellent! She covered the history, mythology and practical construction of the things we saw. I only wish it could have been longer. Very well done.

    It was a pleasure to spend the day with Hermes. As a guide, he is not only knowledgeable but a wonderful host. We felt his passion for all things Hellenic and cannot thank him enough. I would not hesitate to strongly suggest any tour that he may lead.

    We toured the Acropolis and Museum in Athens. Margret was an amazing tour guide. She was knowledgeable and considerate of our group member's needs and wellbeing. We had visited the site before but with her as our guide, we learned so much more. She made history come alive for us.

  • 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.
