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.

Our first day in Athens we took a guided tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. Our meet up spot was easy to find and our guide was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating highlights on our journey up to the top as well as in the wonderful museum. She brought the history of the area to life and allowed plenty of time to take photos and explore each site. A great introduction to Athens 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.
