The weather did not help us today as the elevator was closed due to the wind. I tried to climb the hill but I just couldn't. What we did see was awesome. We did this in con-junction with the museum. It was a great day.

Having timed tickets in advance allowed us to get in the priority line to enter the Acropolis. Purchasing those tickets on line was easy and we just scanned the ticket codes from my phone.

We loved our visit to the acropolis. It was very busy so we were glad we bought a timed skip the line ticket which helped us get through much faster and avoid a long line.

    The tour of the Parthenon and acropolis was fine . Yes it was crowded but nothing like after my time slot . What really gog me upset is I bought a package with the aidio tour and that never happened. They wanted 11.99 more to receive it after using data to download a specific app to hear it . It ruined my experience and I'm going to say don't use this service . Go another route .

    Key Tour has a physical reception desk with restrooms near the Acropolis, and the guide also provided details about the attractions along the route leading to the Acropolis. We had no trouble getting in, and the explanations we received were helpful.

    Great experience Everything went very smoothly. From checking in to our guide to the tour. Guide was very clear and knowledgeable. The pace was perfect . Loved the Acropolis and its temples.
  • From the Acropolis to the Ancient Agora, see Athens’ most legendary sites with a guided tour or explore at your own pace with a multilingual audio guide.

    Getting started

    Your visit begins at the Acropolis, where you’ll either meet your guide at the designated entry point or start your self-guided tour with an audio guide. If you’ve chosen a guided tour, your expert will introduce the site's history before leading you through this ancient citadel.

    What to expect

    The Acropolis

    Walk through the Propylaea, the grand gateway to the Acropolis, and soak in sweeping views of Athens. Explore the Parthenon, the crown jewel of classical Greece, as you learn about its construction, famous sculptures, and how it evolved over time.

    Visit the Erechtheion, known for its elegant Caryatid columns, and the Temple of Athena Nike, dedicated to the goddess of victory. Your guide (or audio tour) will share the myths behind these temples, including Athena and Poseidon's legendary rivalry for Athens.

    Head down to the Theater of Dionysus, the birthplace of Greek drama, where ancient playwrights once staged their works. Stop by the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a Roman amphitheater still hosting performances today.

    Acropolis Museum (optional)

    Upgrade your ticket to explore artifacts from the Acropolis, including the original Caryatids, the Parthenon Marbles, and the Frieze of the Parthenon. Visit the museum’s underground excavation, where an ancient Athenian neighborhood is preserved beneath glass floors.

    Old Town (Plaka) (optional)

    Opt for an Athens Old Town audio guide to explore Plaka’s historic streets, Byzantine churches, and local tavernas while learning about the city’s evolution.
