Sissy was a fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, funny and enthusiastic. Highly recommend.

S
Steven – United States

We appreciated our tour guide taking breaks in shady areas. He was very informative. Suggestion for improvement: make the museum tour more succinct and cover more areas. We spent too much time on the first two window exhibits in my opinion.

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.

Take a short break before you continue to the Acropolis Museum, during which you can use the bathroom.

Step into the contemporary marvel that is the New Acropolis Museum, nestled just a few minutes walk from the Acropolis site. Crafted by architects Fotiadis and Tschumi, this architectural gem cradles the treasures of ancient Greece within its glass embrace. From the ground floor's immersive glimpses into daily life to the first floor's enchanting original Caryatids (five residing here, the sixth in the British Museum), and culminating on the top floor with the extraordinary Parthenon frieze and a recreation of Parthenon, next to the breathtaking view of the Acropolis. Each step is a stroke of history, inviting you on a timeless journey through Athens' legacy amid architectural grandeur. Explore the allure of classical antiquity at the New Acropolis Museum.

My mom (83 years old) and I had the best tour. I was worried about the hike up the Acropolis for my mom, but Marina kept us in the shade as much as possible and there were several stops along the way to see historical sights and hear the informative and well presented stories. Marina is amazing! Would recommend 10/10!
