PRIVATE GUIDED TOUR OF THE ACROPOLIS
Small Groups from €70pp
What you can expect
Through beautiful cobble-paved pathways you will reach the base of the Acropolis where under the watchful eye of your expert licensed guide, you will climb to the top reaching what is widely accepted as the navel of Western Civilisation. Walk through the Propylaea, the imposing marble-gate of the Acropolis that is a mix of Doric and Ionic columns. Take a look at the iconic Temple of Athena Nike and get the chance to know the Greek maidens or Caryatids that support the Erechtheion.
The Parthenon awaits to show off its architectural beauty and its harmonious structure where you will learn all about its secrets and the beauty behind its construction.
Visitors will also see the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the iconic open air theatre below the southwest slope. As you descend, you will visit the ancient theatre of Dionysus where theatrical performances took place in ancient Athens.
This tour offers a detailed narrative of the Acropolis and is ideal for those wanting an in depth understanding of the Acropolis and its history. The tour ends close to the Acropolis metro station for further independent exploration.
You can book a private pick up to transfer you to or from the port of Piraeus or Athens International Airport if required. (A separate booking is required and we will manage both for you, to co-ordinate with your tour times).

WHY ATHENS TIPS
* Wear comfortable walking shoes as there is an ascent up to the archaeological site. We would rate this walk as low to medium intensity, you don’t need to be super fit. Don’t forget your sunglasses, sunscreen and a good hat during summer.
* There is a kiosk at the entry below the Acropolis that serves drinks and light refreshments. You are only allowed to enter the site with water.
* The most delicious Greek yoghurt is close by, so be sure to check it out before or after your tour!
