Itinerary

Meet your private guide at your Athens hotel (if it's within walking distance of the Acropolis) or at the entrance to the archaeological site and head directly to the highlights of this vast site. Begin with the Propylaea then move on to marvel at the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and the Parthenon.

Learn about the history and significance of these ancient Greek buildings, and their influence over architecture and culture over the millennia. Pace the tour to suit your preference, lingering at the landmarks that interest you most and asking your guide additional questions.

End at the site exit after two hours of guided visit, or remain inside the site to explore further and visit the Acropolis Museum on your own.

Our guide Natalie was...

Sharon_L, Aug 2024

Our guide Natalie was excellent and made this tour exceptional. She shared the rich history in such an engaging and interesting manner that we were completely entranced with this amazing site. She really looked after us always making sure we were shaded and careful where the ground was uneven. She had some 3D tools on her phone so we were able to look at the acropolis in front of us but also see clearly how it looked originally which really added to the look experience.

Excellent experience for all

The tour was perfect. Our guide was knowledgeable professional and fun. She knew how to get us away from the busier tourist groups and showed us things many would not have seen on their own. We were a group of 3 women age 18, 54 and 80 and we all loved it!

Beautiful site with amazing guide

The Acropolis and Parthenon are truly amazing structures, which were brought to life by our wonderful guide Despina! Thank you.

We had a great experience on this private tour! Our guide, Stelios, did such an amazing job! He came to our hotel and accompanied us to the Acropolis, giving us tidbits of history and information all along the way. He was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. In addition, he knew the best spots for photos! I can highly recommend this tour!
