A must-see in Athens. A place steeped in ancient history. The giant columns of the Acropolis, the Temple of Athena, and the remaining ruins give the impression of stepping back in time. You can almost imagine Greek warriors... Just the realization that Socrates once strolled through these very streets is an amazing feeling. It is well worth seeing the history of the civilization that laid the foundations for everything we know.

I took this tour the morning before I left Athens, and I loved the detailed introduction to the history, culture, and architecture that we received! I actually had to leave the tour early in order to catch my flight, but it was still totally worth it. I highly recommend to anyone - it is so much better than visiting the Acropolis on your own and wondering what you're looking at (which I had done before)!

Having the opportunity to see ( and read ) about something / someplace so old is hard to put into words. It's historical value, the marble, the amazement of construction of these buildings - truly hard to put into words. The beauty of the view - being able to see the city below and the sea beyond is not only amazing but thinking of its geographical location back in the day is powerful.

Our guide was so amazingly informative. He brought history alive!!! You could tell he loved this job and wanted to impart this love and knowledge to us. He also was very kind and made sure each and everyone of us, no matter our age of physical abilities, were comfortable and safe during the walk. I highly recommend this walking tour of the Acropolis!!!

I simply entered the museum, showed my QR code, and I was in. Linked to my timed entry to the Acropolis, the whole experience was easy. One caveat, I suggest taking screen shots of the entry bar codes when they are provided, so you don't need to search for them on arrival. I did have a bit of trouble finding them when I needed them.

Excellent tour guide "Magdaleni". Our tour took us gently up the Acropolis, stopping at various places in the shade as she gave us the history of each particular old setting. Highly recommend this tour. If you are lucky enough as we were to get Magdaleni then you too will have an EXCELLENT experience.

It wasn't obvious that this wasn't a counterfeit ticket but the admission ticket to the Acropolis. The museum ticket was easy to spot. Both are definitely worth it. Go early in the morning because it gets very, very hot at the site in the summer, and there's no shade.

Amazing experience! The self guided tour was very detailed in explaining the different monuments. The "walk " to the Parthenon is a little challenging but plenty of areas to take breaks.

A fantastic place—definitely worth a visit! It’s definitely hot and there’s not much shade, but luckily it was early in the morning, so there weren’t many people and there was no line at the entrance. The museum is also worth a visit.

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.

What to bring

Have your passport, ID, and student ID ready for a seamless experience.

Stay ahead of the game and download the audio app beforehand to dodge any network glitches at the location.

Don’t forget your trusty earphones for an immersive audio guide experience.

What's not allowed

Only small backpacks or handbags are permitted.

Professional photography equipment, tripods, and drones are not allowed.
