Overview

One for all you history buffs! Discover Athens' ancient history on this fascinating city walking tour with an expert local guide! Venture inside the ancient Acropolis of Athens — a UNESCO World Heritage site — and discover just how this ancient monument towers above the city below. You'll also see such sites as the Greek Parliament House and Syntagma Square in the heart of central Athens. All entrance fees are at your own expense.
Please be aware that even with our skip-the-ticket-line service, there might be some waiting time required for security checks. This is because visitor numbers can fluctuate unpredictably at the sites throughout the day. The typical waiting time falls within 0 to 10 or 30 minutes, though on rare occasions, it might be longer.

Georgia our guide was great, friendly, a lot of knowledge and the tour was well organized. We had great weather so it was more enjoyable to walk around Athens sights.

We really enjoyed our walking tour! Lots of great information at a pace that was relaxed but allowed us to see all of the sites. While the acropolis was amazing, we also enjoyed the changing of the guards at the parliament buildings, and the walk through the National Gardens. Our guide Apollon did a great job, and we were fortunate to meet two additional guides (Eva and Maria) who will be doing tours in the summer. They were all lovely and we would be happy to do another tour with them in the future.

Great tour.. We got a bit late as I had an injured leg.. Our archeologist guide Yanis (hope I spelled that right) was more than wonderful & accommodating.. He altered his pace to match mine, took the right number of breaks to help me & presented history in a great way.. The Acropolis tour could've been longer, but it was incredibly cold & windy up there.. He answered all our questions & delivered the tour right how it was described.. Thank you !!

Can’t say enough about Olesya’s Athens walking and Acropolis tours. Highlights of the walking tour included the changing of the guards at the Parliament building. I’ve watched my videos repeatedly with awe and respect for the guards. Strolling the National Garden brought a sense of quiet and calmness to the bustling city. Acropolis tour was teeming with information from mythology to architectural facts. Her details aided in imagining the lives of the people who walked the paths before present time. Highly recommend her.

Arranged this tour last minute as we wanted a little more than just wandering around the summit on our own. Meeting place near the south entry was easy to find and check in completed quickly. Price included entry to the archaeological area and a front of line pass. Our guide, Antonis was incredibly knowledgeable and imparted information we would not have been able to get otherwise. Although the climb to the summit is high it was managed in easy stages. Bring water as it is hot even in cooler months. It can be refilled at the summit. Highly recommend.
