What makes this tour unique
On this small-group tour, you skip the long lines that crowd the main entrance. Your expert Athenian guide takes you to the Dionysus Theater entrance, allowing you to go at a relaxed pace to see the Parthenon, the Choragic Monument of Thrasyllus, the Eumenes Stoa, the Asclepius Sanctuary, and many more sites and monuments.

What You Will See and Do
See the Acropolis and its Famous Monuments
Entering on the south slope of the Acropolis, you’ll visit the Dionysus Sanctuary and Dionysus Theater before you walk up the slope leading to the Acropolis monuments. Panoramic views of the city will be perfect for Instagram-ready photos.
During your tour, you’ll gain insight into the significance of the historic monuments of Acropolis including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Propylaia, the Nike Temple as well as other significant sights of Athens including the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Ancient Agora, the National Observatory of Athens and the city’s scenic hills: Filopappos, Mars, and Pnyx.
Note: After the first part of the tour, between the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum Tour, there's an approximate 15-20 min break during which you may get a snack or a drink but there is no time for a leisurely meal.
Visit One of the Best Museums in the World: Acropolis Museum
Designed by renowned Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi and notable Greek architect Michalis Photiadis, the Acropolis Museum captivates guests the moment you arrive. The sleek, modern building opened its doors in 2009, and elegantly showcases more than 4,000 artifacts exclusively from the Acropolis in an open-floor layout. One of the most spectacular aspects of the museum is its glass floors and walkways that reveal real excavations below your own feet. Panoramic views of the Acropolis and top the experience.
