Breeze past the line and experience the thrill of seeing the Theater of Dionysus where many famous ancient comedies and tragedies were first performed.
Continue to the Roman Herodion theater which was built in memory of the wife of Herodes Atticus.
Climb up to the gateway of the Acropolis, the Propylaea.
Take in views of the Temple of Athena Nike.
Walk to the Parthenon which was dedicated to the goddess Athena, the patroness of the city of Athens. Admire this 5th-century zenith of the Doric order architecture.
Finally, see the Erechtheion which is a unique masterpiece of architecture mainly due to its asymmetrical composition, and its supports include 6 sculpted female figures.

Our tour guide, Jordan was informative, interesting and passionate about teaching us all the history of the Acropolis and the Parthenon really appreciated his knowledge enthusiasm, and he made it a very worthwhile tour
Natasha was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She ensured everyone in the group could see, hear and even take great photos. Would recommend to anyone going to Athens.
The tour guide, an expert in the history of the Acropolis, provided us with fascinating insights into the building’s construction and the lives of its inhabitants. The museum visit was equally impressive, offering a comprehensive overview of the Acropolis’s rich history.
Petros is such a great Tour guide. He made it simultaneously fun, engaging and educational. He is super sweet and funny. He made sure everyone was doing okay during the tour. Not only he gave a well informed guided tour, but he also connected it to current developments in art and culture. Our whole group was very impressed by him.
Had a great time on the Acropolis, Parthenon & Acropolis Museum Guided Tour. Petros was an high energy and informative guide 10000% recommend.
We really enjoyed our tour of the Acroplis and the museum. The level of detail given by the guide was great. He answered all questions well and made the whole tour really interesting. In our tour group there were some one people and he was very considerate to their needs when moving around the site.
Very good experience and the guide was amazing and she is very kind and have lot of patience, the acropolis was crazy!! Mueseum is also nice, but for sure the peak is the acropolis mountain
Irene was our guide for the Acropolis and Parthenon. She was fantastic, very friendly and super knowledgeable! I certainly recommend Athenian Tours. Great service and friendly!
Petros took us into a fascinating world with amazing stories—stories we thought we would soon forget, but I believe we will never forget them. Iulian sends his regards and thanks you!
This was a great tour. Lydia, our guide was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The skip the lines advantage was very helpful with the crowds. Highly recommended!
Steve was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and patient during a very rainy and windy day.
Guide Natasha was very kind, knowledgeable and entertaining which made the experience absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended!
This tour was exactly what I was looking for. Our guide, Michael, was amazing. He was so knowledgeable, engaging, enthusiastic and kind. We had degrees of walking abilities and he was very mindful of that. There is so much to see in the museum but I felt he showed us and talked about the most interesting and important pieces. I really liked that we went to the museum first so we had that in our minds as we walked the Acropolis. I would recommend this tour and highly suggest that they try to book the tour with Michael.
Yolanda was wonderful!! She was a great guide and taught us more about Greece!
Great experience and very good guide with amazing indepth knowlegde. Would recommend. Our guide was Irine.
Our guide Konstantina was superb, extremely knowledgeable and approachable. She provided amazing insight across both the Acropolis and the museum and was very patient and professional at all times. A huge thank you Konstantina.
Michael G was our guide and he is awesome! So educated, knowledgeable about Greek history and mythology. He also took time between sites at both locations to let us catch our breath, sit and use the toilet. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him..
Yolanda was a great guide. The tour was informative and Yolanda was very knowledgeable
Michael G was an entertaining knowledgeable guide, we thoroughly enjoyed our 4hr tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon & museum.
And was sweet, funny and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Ana at Get Your Guide!
Our tour guide Petros was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of everything we saw was outstanding. He took his time and ensured that all persons understood what he was explaining and answered all questions posed by all. I would definitely ask for him the next time Rod Gonzalez
We absolutely loved the four. Yolanda was the best. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and taught us a lot. We loved the pictures she brought. They really brought the places to life. Thank you Yolanda!!
We had a tour with Yolanda from Athenian tours. She was great at telling the stories and sharing information. It was a fantastic tour. We spend around 3 hours on the Akropolis itself and then we also had tickets to go the museum, which we would really recommend as well. You get an interesting look into all the sculptures that they took from the temples and put into the museum. It was a bit crowdy at certain points, but Yolanda could always find good places to stand, so we could also take pictures.
Dimitris was a great guide! Friendly & informative
Petros was an amazing tour guide!!!! He was very knowledgeable, professional, passionate and kind. I would do another tour with him any day. The Acropolis & Partheon with Museum tour was great!! Petros would give us the history and then give us time to take pictures. So amazing to see history of such importance. Oh and he gave us a great restaurant recommendation as well.
Amazing experience and amazing guide! Eli is an extremely enthusiastic and captivating storyteller :)
My guide was the BEST!!!! Thank you for sharing this experience with me. I enjoyed the time we spent together.
Ganni was the man, great guide with awesome chat
Irene was such an engaging wonderful guide. We felt so lucky to have landed her! A great introduction to Athens and Greece. Very informative and always interesting.
Group was too large for a single guide. There were constant bathroom breaks. We must have spent 25% of the tour on one kind of break or another. The guide was knowledgeable, but the nonstop breaks were frustrating for me (and others).
An excellent tour. We arrived at the office about 10min before the tour and many had already checked in and were with a guide. We probably should have gotten there earlier due to the long line at check in desk (but they had many staff members working, so it went quick). Turned out we got an absolutely fabulous guide. Gari was a delight, very informative and fun - so we were glad to be assigned to her group. She definitely earned her tip. It was much better to see the Acropolis first and then the museum. Got a flavor for the site along with much instruction and commentary from Gari, then she filled in the details at the museum. Because of her background in archeology, her knowledge and passion for the sight helped us understand and appreciate the site so much more. Thanks and we had a great time, well worth the price, and highly recommend.
Yolanda was incredible. Her knowledge of Greek history, the Myths, the People and the details in between. She was polite, took breaks, allowed for pictures and bathroom breaks and always made sure our group was complete before we moved on to the next site. If I could give her 10 stars I would.
Katerina was a great guide to the fabulous history of the Acropolis. Thank you!
Fascinating place. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. I think I got a lot more out of the location because of his expertise.
We had very little knowledge of Greek mythology or other historical sites, but our guide's explanations were very clear and interesting. Without her explanations, the rest of our time in the Ancient Agora (not the tour) would have been boring. In the museum, she carefully selected masterpieces and provided sufficient explanations in a short amount of time. What I appreciated most was that I was able to understand the explanations despite my limited English. Since the tour ends inside the museum, if you need to leave your belongings, I recommend using the individual cloakroom rather than the group cloakroom (even if the museum staff refuses).
It was an anazing tour, just before the Sunset! Our guide Eli, an authentic greek, was great, with lots of history and mithology. We had a group of 14 people and she knew us all by the name. We had a great time! It was the 16h30 tour, in English
Was super easy to navigate to the pick up point and check in process was super smooth. Acropolis / Parthenon are incredible. Our guid, Chrysa, was FANTASTIC. She was super knowledgeable and accommodating of all questions! Would recommend Athenian tours / Chrysa to anyone!
This tour was extremely thorough yet engaging; we were in awe and never bored once! Our guide Giannis was extremely knowledgeable and kind. Couldn’t recommend it enough!
We had the most wonderful afternoon exploring the Acropolis, Parthenon and Acropolis Museum with Natasha from Athenian Tours. From the moment we met her, Natasha was incredibly warm, friendly and welcoming, while also being an absolute professional. Her knowledge of Greek history and mythology is incredible, but what really made the experience so special was the way she told the stories. She didn’t simply give us facts and dates; she brought the history to life and completely drew us into the world of Ancient Greece. She also has such a fun, quirky personality and a great sense of humour, which made the whole afternoon feel relaxed and personal. We found ourselves laughing one minute and completely captivated by a story the next. It was such a special way to experience Athens for the first time, and we walked away feeling like we had learnt so much without ever feeling like we were sitting through a history lesson! Natasha, thank you for such a splendid afternoon and for sharing your beautiful city, its history and its stories with us. It was genuinely one of the highlights of our time in Athens and an experience we will remember for a very long time. Kimberlee & Camden 🇿🇦 South Africa
Great visit to the ancient site of the Acropolis and Parthenon and to the adjoining museum. Our guide Jordan was very knowledgeable and helpful and made our visit very special. Highly recommend this tour company.
Very knowledgable guide. Great experience! Would do it again. Great neighborhood to walk around in afterwards.
Dimitris was amazing. So knowledgeable. We absolutely loved this and many others in the tour made the same comment. We learned so much and are interested in learning more about Greek history based on the amazing peek Dimitris provided. This is a physical tour (lots of walking and some segments uphill) but very worth it and Dimitris always found shady spots with some places to sit where he’d share his stories. Book this. You won’t regret it!
Great experience! You must be good on walking and climbing up to the acropolis. I’m glad I came to Greece now in my 50’s instead of waiting for later 🤣
