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.

We had an excellent guide. Kostas was very knowledgeable, he spoke very well and was professional. In the last 4 weeks of travel and various guides this was the best. This was a 4.5 hour tour and fascinating all the way. Thank you Kostas. PS use an extension poll with a flag and not arm held up. lol

The tour was great, Alexandria was a wonderful guide. She was full of information and fun stories about Ancient Greece. Our only problem was my husband’s ear piece stopped working part way through and she had no spares with her, definitely not her fault. She was so wonderful and kept him beside her so he could hear everything. Exceptional service. Thank you Alexandria

Wow, what a day. Hermes guide was absolutely fabulous his knowledge and his delivery was one of the best our group of four has ever experienced. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. While price might seem high on the surface compare to some other Acropolis tours for me it was worth every cent and more. You can book with confidence particularly if you can get Hermis as your guide.
