Full description
Meet your licensed tour guide, an experienced archaeologist, and then start your unique combination of a tour. Enter from the south slope of the acropolis and set off on your leisurely walking tour of some of the world’s finest monuments. Along the way, listen as your guide shares knowledgeable insight into the citadel’s ruins including excavation details. Visit the Theater of Dionysus, an amphitheater that is arguably the birthplace of performing arts. Perch yourself on a stone seat to imagine the sights and sounds experienced by ancient theatergoers who came to watch plays by Greek writers Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Also, pass the Odeon of Herodes Atticus; the theater is still used today during the Athens Festival from May to October. Find peace and quiet at an Asclepius, a healing temple that honored the god of medicine Asclepius, before the Parthenon. Wander around the temple to learn about how it was constructed for the goddess Athena. Once you familiarize yourself with the site's classical architecture, head indoors to the New Acropolis Museum for a brief break and refreshments (at own expense) in the cafe. Ranked one of the top 5 museums in the world, the New Acropolis Museum boasts collections of statues and other relics of everyday life in several galleries. In the Gallery of the Slopes of the Acropolis, the glass floor occasionally reveals an archaeological excavation site.

Danielle – CanadaNovember 20, 2023 – Verified booking
If I could give it 7/5 I would. Our guide Kosta was amazing. (Sorry if I didn't spell his name correctly). It made me want to discover Greek mythology, even though it was initially a planned visit for my husband and his love of history. All the explanations given, his smile, his enthusiasm were really appreciated by the whole group. In addition, he reacted very quickly when I had a small medical problem. I recommend this visit without hesitation. The people at the reception shop were also very helpful when I realized that I had a misunderstanding of the details of our tickets. In closing, Kosta, your advice for the best souvlaki in town was spot on!! Αυτό ήταν πεντανόστιμο

We had the pleasure of being guided by Lisa on this tour, and it was an exceptional experience. Lisa led the tour at a comfortable pace, making it enjoyable for everyone. Her explanations at each stop were thorough, and she took the time to ensure we didn't feel rushed, allowing us to truly absorb the surroundings. It was evident that Lisa finds joy in her work, making the tour not only informative but also entertaining. Highly recommended for those who appreciate a well-paced and engaging tour!
