Overview

The Acropolis and its museum cover a significant amount of ground—and without a guide to connect the architectural, political, and cultural significance of what you're looking at, both are easy to move through without fully understanding either. This private tour includes entry to both the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum, with a guide adjusting the pace to suit your group.

Hear stories you’d miss if you tried exploring independently
Benefit from your guide's undivided attention throughout
Cover the vast sites with ease—no need to navigate it alone
Maximize your time with a route that checks off the highlights
