Overview

The Ideal Combination Tour! See the city center including two top sights in just a few hours. At the Acropolis of Athens, you’ll explore the Parthenon which is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Then, you’ll dive deeper into its worldly significance at the Acropolis Museum where marble masterpieces tell a story on their own. Please be aware that even with our skip-the-ticket-line service, there might be some waiting time required for security checks. This is because visitor numbers can fluctuate unpredictably at the sites throughout the day. The typical waiting time falls within 0 to 10 or 30 minutes, though on rare occasions, it might be longer.

Meeting points

Our staff, holding an orange Athens Walking Tours sign, will be waiting for you inside the Syntagma Metro Station, at the big hall underneath the hanging clock, next to the ticket validating machines. Please be at the meeting point 15 minutes prior to given tour departure time.

A must-do while in Athens

The guide, Vasilliki was wonderful. So full of knowledge, she made sure that the visit was worthwhile for even those who did not read much about the Greek mythology. A must-do tour when you are in Athens!

Lovely

Don’t Miss This Amazing Tour!!!!!

Published on Oct, 2024

We are so lucky to have booked this wonderful this Golden Hour Acropolis Tour in the Afternoon Light! Let me start by saying that the organization from start to finish was great! We met at Fresko Yogurt Bar to receive our audio headset and get our Acropolis entrance tickets. Our guide Eva was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a wonderful history of everything we covered in a way that was interesting and engaging. Our group ranged from very young to seniors, including myself and she was extremely patient and kind, making sure to include all of us.
