Description

Experience Athens at its most magical as you enter the Acropolis with first access, beating the crowds and the midday heat. This guided tour immerses you in the myths and history of Greece’s most famous ancient site, including the Parthenon and the Dionysus Theatre, with a knowledgeable local guide.

Your journey begins at the main entrance, where your guide leads you directly to the Parthenon. Marvel at the legendary Caryatids at the Erechteion and soak in breathtaking 360-degree views of Athens from the summit. The early morning start ensures a more peaceful atmosphere for exploring these world-renowned monuments.

Continue your exploration as the tour winds past the Asklepeion, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and the ancient Dionysus Theatre. Along the way, your guide shares captivating stories and historical insights, bringing the Acropolis to life. Ear sets are provided so you never miss a word, and you’ll receive an Athens Guide magazine and map for further adventures.

Skip-the-ticket-line entry is included for a smoother experience, though brief security checks may still be required. The tour lasts approximately two hours and is conducted in English, with small groups of up to 15 people for a more personal touch. Please arrive on time, as the Acropolis enforces strict entry schedules.

Entrance tickets are included if selected at booking, ensuring a hassle-free visit. Tours run rain or shine, and while hotel transfers and food are not included, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and stunning photos. Secure your spot now and discover the Acropolis before the crowds arrive!
