Travel back to Ancient Greece on a 1-hour and 45-minute guided tour of the Athens Acropolis. Choose between a classic guided tour or a guided tour with a skip-the-line ticket.

Ascend to the Parthenon, the summit of the city, and enjoy 45 minutes of spectacular panoramic views of the remains of the classical world and the modern-day city of Athens. Prepare yourself to admire one of the most amazing panoramas in the world.

This walking tour will also offer you the opportunity to explore the Acropolis monuments in the afternoon.

This tour was spectacular because: 1) Tour guide John the Archaeologist made the tour! He was passionate/ knowledgeable/ an advocate/ humorous! My VERY opinionated/tough critic stepdaughter even liked him & the tour!!!) 2) 8AM option-cooler temps, crowds hit as we were leaving 3) small group

Lydia was a really informative tour guide, sharing lots of information about what we were seeing and how things have changed. She made sure the group kept together with less mobile members. And despite some technical difficulties with the headsets she kept us engaged throughout the trip

La guida era molto brava

Demos fantastisk guide 😄

Anna is een topgids! Ze heeft veel kennis maar heeft ook een eigenschap dat mensen naar haar willen luisteren. Goed geregeld, goed op tijd. Goed te verstaan door de goede oortjes. Kortom dank!

Die Beschreibung des Treffpunktes war prima - sogar ein kleines Café ist nebenan, die kurze Wartezeit konnte hervorragend mit einem Espresso überbrückt werden. Die Vortragende war lebhaft, aber super informiert und sie konnte alle Informationen eindrücklich vermitteln
