Acropolis Of Athens, Ancient Agora And The Agora Museum Tour

Aigli was our guide and should be a professor. A true teacher and very knowledgeable. The terrain is challenging and not always safe, but be prepared with good shoes. Ancient Athens agora was a deeply moving and soul touching experience as we felt the echoes of the people who lived there 2500 years ago. To walk in the paths of philosophers and architects who built Athens physically and mentally is an experience beyond words. We loved the sit down spots where aigli became a philosopher and philosopher for us. The overwhelming architecture withstands earthquakes and war. What can the future hold for these outdoor treasures? Better than AI or google, a tour from a licenced guide helps one reap more from these adventures. Loved it!!!!

Our guide Deppy was so passionate, generous and interesting! This tour was very friendly and rich. Including the agora with the acropolis is absolutely a must for whoever is interested in the history. While the acropolis is so iconic and impossible not to visit, the history of the people is actually mostly concentrated in the agora. Having someone knowledgeable enough to explain the monuments and include a lot of fascinating extra information or perspectives truly adds depth to the visit and lets us see the site on a whole different light. There is so much we would have missed without this astonishing tour, thank you so much!!

Despina (Deppy) is an awesome guide. She is passionate about her guiding. Walking in the agora in the footsteps of the Athenian greats was a unique experience. Highly recommend.

This was a long in-depth tour of the Acropolis and Agora, including the Agora museum. Be prepared to walk with some uneven areas on the hills. The sites are beautiful and full of history and culture. The tour guide was knowledgeable, warm and gave us enough time to wander. Thank you!

This was a great walking tour for a first time visit to Athens. My family and I wanted someone that would narrate and point out the sites for us, and it was perfect. I've been to both sites before and there is just something more special having someone tell you the story of how they became than just looking at everything yourself! Just be aware if you want photos of yourself on the tour of the Acropolis to let your guide know as the Agora tour is right after!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable! The tour was great, was able to take lots of pictures and great views of Athens.

Apollon was incredible- he was so knowledgeable, gave such great stories and anecdotes about everything that we were seeing. He moved and spoke at a great pace and let us know what to expect as well. He is truly one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had.

Elena was amazing and so good at her job! It was a great tour to see the highlights of the ancient ruins!

Annie is amazing! one of the best tour guides I have ever had. extensive fund of knowledge, presented in an engaging way. She clearly loves her job and made an effort to learn everyone's names and involve all the kids on the tour.

I was extremely lucky today to have Dimitris as my tour guide he was so knowledgeable, informative & explained in an easy to understand manner. He was very considerate in finding shade or spots with seating while we listened to his comentery which was always very interesting. The time flew past & I feel I now have a great understanding of The Acropolis, the Parthenon, & of the many different Goddesses & Gods throughout the history of Athens & broader Greece. The new Museum is fantastic & Dimitris really explained the 3 floors layout & all that is there to see really well. I had a completely immersive 4 hours.

Remarkable site that was enhanced by a knowledgeable, well-spoken and fun guide. It was not physically taxing but the crowds were.

Excellent tour. Guide was very knowledgeable.

We booked the Acropolis of Athens & Acropolis Museum Tour and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide Olesya was absolutely exceptional — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the history she was sharing. Walking through the Parthenon with Olesya felt like stepping back through centuries of history. She has a remarkable ability to make the ancient world feel vivid and alive, weaving together stories and context that you simply wouldn’t get on your own. The museum portion of the tour was where she truly shone. Her depth of knowledge was impressive — she walked us through the collection in a way that was detailed without ever feeling like a lecture. By the end, we had a real sense of the Acropolis’s full story, from its earliest origins through to the present day. It felt immersive rather than informational. Olesya clearly takes great pride in her work, and it shows in every part of the experience. If you’re visiting Athens and want a tour that goes well beyond the surface, this is it — and if Olesya is available, don’t hesitate. She delivers something truly special. Highly recommend Athens Walking Tours. We’ll be back.

The acropolis is an amazing venue, it dominates the city and is a must see. Our tour included the Agora which on hind sight was a good decision. The Acropolis itself is awe inspiring, just the sheer scale of the building and the complex. It was great to have a tour guide who met us outside and took us through the history of the building and also what many of the symbols meant which made the experience much more enjoyable. The Agora reminds me of the Forum in Rome, and without a guide it's just a bunch of ruins. This was an added extra which we're delighted we did with the tour as walking it alone would be very underwhelming. The restored museum was well worth a visit, it's not large but is a recreation of the building that stood on the premises and so gave a really great idea of the scale of the complex. Our guide was super friendly, able to answer any questions we or the group had. Delighted we chose them. Group size was manageable with about a dozen people but we all got headsets which seems to be the practice generally. Only negative is that by tacking on the Agora we didn't have as much time as we would have liked to take photos at the Acropolis. Top tips - it's busy in the Acropolis and was cool when we went there in April so bring warm clothes. The Agora is apparently unbelievably hot in mid summer by contrast. Also, make sure to have ID or a photo of ID for the kids as they get a large discount on entry but you can be asked to prove their age.

This was an excellent tour. Our guide was Ermes who had a very good knowledge of Ancient Greek history- the information was about right- neither too less, nor too much. Ermes was friendly and courteous , plus very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommended this tour to anyone who visits tge Acropolis and the ancient Agora

Excellent tour! I wanted something that combined the Acropolis and the Agora, and this tour was perfect for that. We had an amazing guide - Vasiliki - who provided a well-structured tour without overly complicating the history of the site. The Agora - while obviously not as impressive - is in my opinion a must-see as well. The group size was small, the length of the visit was perfect, and we appreciated the receivers so we could hear her at all times.

Pam was really great. She had so many historical facts to give about the Acropolis and the Agora. She was also very kind to all of us as guests.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we had a great experience learning more about what we were exactly looking at compared to just looking. Highly recommend going with a guide, ours was awesome! -Mitchell & Abby

A must go in Athens. I recommend the visit during the morning (if you go during the summer) as the heat is not too intense :)

Gina was amazing and so helpful! I wish folks were more attentive to the information she was sharing. Be mindful of pickpockets!

My husband and I did this as a private tour first thing in the morning with Hermes. He was a wonderful, extremely well educated and knowledgeable tour guide. He made history come alive with stories of the sites we visited. We are somewhat old people, and Hermes accommodated our need for a slower pace in the summer heat of Athens. He always found places in the shade for us to rest a bit, while keeping up a lesson in history and culture. It was so interesting and so much fun!! We climbed the Acropolis Hill, visiting all of the amazing temples and sites. Then we saw the Agora and finally visited the Agora museum. Hermes really made our trip, and we learned so much! We’re very grateful and happy to have had this opportunity. I’d recommend this tour to anyone, and if you’re thinking about it, you should do it!

Angeliki was a fantastic tour guide who was kind to consider the needs of her tourists. The Acropolis museum is a must see. Keep in mind this trip is a lot of uphill walking, so wear good, supportive shoes. I tried to bring a camera bag into Acropolis and they wouldn't allow it; saying professional cameras were not allowed. However, many came with professional cameras or backpacks, so I think it was actually the size of my bag and the fact that it was an over-the-shoulder bag instead of a backpack. The Acropolis staff were kind enough to allow me to leave my bag at the security station and everything was intact.

We enjoyed our experience greatly. PLEASE HEED THE ADVICE TO BUY THE SITE TICKETS THROUGH THE TOUR COMPANY! It is confusing that tour and site entry tickets are separate. Others on our tour didn’t do this which created unnecessary stress and delays. Bring double the water you think you need and wear sun protection and sturdy shoes. We toured in early May and it quickly became quite hot.

This was an excellent tour! We did the Acropolis and the Agora. The guide was excellent. I would recommend just buying the tickets through them as well.

The Acropolis was awesome. Learned a lot about the history. The architecture was amazing. It was very interesting how they are restoring it. The view of Athens was fantastic!

We were very lucky to have found Faye Georgiou for a private tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. The 4 hours with Faye was a master class offered in the most entertaining and enjoyable way. Following a cruise we found ourselves with only half a day and an evening in Athens. We clearly made the most of our time thanks to Faye. Faye has impeccable credentials and has a true passion for her work. She made us feel special and could not be more helpful. We will definitely return to Athens and engage Faye for additional sightseeing.

Tina was both knowledgeable and gracious, mindful of our individual experiences and how she might connect our stories with the broader narrative of the Acropolis and Western Civilization. Thank you for a fun, insightful tour at just the right pace!

We had a fabulous tour with Vicky Z. She was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Since we went in the middle of the heat wave, Vicky was also very considerate of how we were feeling and trying to best time the tour. We would definitely do this again!

It was very hot, so they canceled the city tour but gave us a refund for that portion. Our guide did a nice job of getting us to the top and telling us all the details along the way. She also had lots to tell us in the Acropolis museum.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable, energetic, and friendly. She was patient with some in the group who had difficulty with some of the climbs in the heat. She always tried to find shady spots to tell us historical facts and interesting information. The tour itself was the right length for young and more mature tourist who were acclimating to the climate and trying to take in all the scenery as well.

Very organized and kind personel: we forgot to buy tickts for the agora and museum but the were prepeared for this evenince. Vasso was a very nice tour guide who replied kindly to all our questions.

This was an excellent guided tour. Operators were at the meeting place with ample time to check everyone in. The listening devices (whispers) allow for everyone to listen to the tour guide with ease and without needing to crowd. Our tour guide, Katia Koul was excellent, bringing the ruins to life with the narration in excellent English and hear wealth of knowledge. The pace of the tour is a comfortable one, with time to ask questions without getting too distracted. I recommend doing the Agora also, for a full view of this important spot in history.

This is the only tour that I found was combining Ancient Argora and Acropolis. My tour guide Sissy was knowledgeable in her domain, I really enjoyed our chat on faminism and philosophy. I find the organisation's set start time being a problem. All tour companies start their tour at the same time at 11am, therefore causing looonngg queues inside the Acropolis from 11 am to 3pm. Why??!! You could have started with Ancient Argora first then head to Acropolis after, or start in the afternoon and finish before sunset. The entire experience of visiting the Acropolis is undermined with the stressful long queue.

Awesome walking tour experience. Our tour guide Alexandria was so knowledgeable sharing Greece history with us, was very interesting. The walk was a good pace too. Would recommend a early morning tour as it gets hot in the afternoon.

The tour in Athens was great....so many historical sites to see. Our tour guide (Sissy) was so knowledgeable and patient and a pleasure to be with.

We were able to learn about the historical sites which made the visit more meaningful. We got to skip the lines for the tickets. Our guide was knowledgable and made sure our questions were answered

Our tour of Acropolis and the museum tour were excellent because our guide, Kate, is so knowledgeable concerning history and culture of Greece. The pace was nice and she is an excellent guide and leader! She made the history come alive. We loved it and would highly recommend this company.

This was a great tour. The guide made it come alive. Magda Kareli was her name. She had enormous passion and very deep knowledge of the link between the mythology and the culture. She connected all the dots. She related directly to every one of our 16 very different participants. She was really hands-on and shepherded us through the crowds into the right places. I have walked the same ground without a guide. It’s like walking around in the dark. Magda really turned on the lights! I’m so glad I went with them. It was a great value.

Our tour guide was excellent. She was knowledgeable, fun and considerate. We learned so much. Unforgettable!

Great knowledge from the guide (Ethy) and she took regular breaks in the shade because it was so, so hot! We had a great experience.

It was a pleasure to have Ioanna as our tour guide. She was very passionate and and the experience was emotional and memorable. Recommended!

This was fantastic! We did the Ancient Agora and Agora Museum part. A small group, our guide Vicky Z was very knowledgeable, lively, informative, and fun! The tour went by so fast, that even in the scorching heat I wanted to do it again!

This was great---easy to book, easy to find, and super informative! It helped us too be prepared with snacks, sunscreen, and 2L of water each.

My sister and I had the most wonderful experience on the acropolis and museum walking tour with Artemis Olympidou. We learnt SO much, it would have been an entirely different experience going on our own. I would say it’s a necessity going with a tour guide. Artemis was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Greek culture and history, and made the tour so much fun. 100% recommend!

Helen our guide was excellent. The information she holds in her head is amazing and she imparts her knowledge with enthusiasm and pride. We did the Ancient Agora with Helen as well as thoroughly enjoyed the experience. A most worthwhile tour.

This tour was very informative, and we got much more out of our visit to the Acropolis and ancient Agora than we ever could have on our own. Our guide, Amaryllis, was extremely knowledgeable, and the historical context and sociological insights that she shared allowed us to gain a much deeper appreciation of what we were seeing. I do not recommend visiting these sites without a guide.

We had an excellent tour delivered by two very engaging guides. It was a great way to see all the main attractions and learn about the history of the city. The tour was organised in a very good way. The guides could also answer our questions very well.

We took the tour of The Acropolis and Agora with the fabulous Eli. She was so passionate about the history and legends of ancient Greece and willing to answer all and any questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Our guide Hermes was was knowledgeable and interesting—a wealth of information. Came away from the tour with a deeper appreciation of history.
