Full description

Travel back in time on an informative and fun tour of the Acropolis of Athens. Guided by a field expert and licensed tour guide, discover the UNESCO World Heritage site through a journey into history, mythology, and storytelling.

Continue with a visit to the Acropolis Museum, which has been ranked as one of the top museums in the world. All the original surviving masterpieces from the temples of the Acropolis are displayed with the use of natural light. Excavations are also visible under glass floors and walkways. Visit Acropolis hill. See the Dionysus Theater, where famous ancient dramas and tragedies were first performed. Walk around the stunning Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the sanctuary of the healing god Asclepius.

On the top of the hill, visit the Propylea Temple of Nike and the Erechtheion Temple. See the Parthenon, which is the symbol of democracy and western civilization. Dating back to the 5th-century, these monuments are testimonials of the glorious ancient Athens and the Golden Age of Pericles. At the Acropolis Museum, explore the ground floor where exhibited artifacts reveal facets of the Athenian daily life. Get to know wedding customs, children's favorite toys, healing techniques, and religious practices.

On the first floor, stand at a breathing distance from the mysterious archaic statues of the 6th century, which once adorned the Acropolis. Be fascinated as you walk next to the Caryatids and huge pieces of the Acropolis entrance.

On the final floor, next to the breathtaking view of the Acropolis, admire the original unique concept and artistic excellence Parthenon frieze.

I visited Athens and the Acropolis about 10 years ago but did not do a tour. With the opportunity to visit again I knew I wanted to go back to the Acropolis and this time learn what the heck I was looking at. Cannot express how much I enjoyed this tour and the way our guide presented the information. I have enough new stories to last me quite a while. It was very informative and very entertaining.

The tour timing and location was great but if the guide could be more engaging and explain to the group about the history and do a story telling kind of tour it would have been great. Felt the guide lacked knowledge and was not able to engage the group

When we booked the tour we were both looking forward to it but it turned out to exceed all our expectations. We usually book audio tours so we can go at our own pace but Alexis our tour guide was amazing and made the day. She was extremely friendly and the knowledge she shared throughout the tour was amazing. Thank you so much for an amazing day and memories
