What to expect

The late afternoon or early morning hours are perfect to visit Athens' most renowned landmark. With fewer crowds and cooler temperatures, you'll explore the famous Acropolis on this 2-hour small group guided tour.

A licensed guide will enlighten you about Greek gods and heroes as you get up close with the monuments perched atop the Acropolis hill. This 2-hour journey offers a chance to delve into how Athens emerged as one of the world's greatest cities, a beacon of civilisation, and the birthplace of democracy in the 5th century BC.

Your exploration includes all the monuments on the hill: from the Theatre of Dionysus, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, and the pinnacle of Greek civilisation: the Parthenon.

This tour offers an insight into one of the world's greatest cities and its enduring legacy.
