Overview

The Ideal Combination Tour! See the city center including two top sights in just a few hours. At the Acropolis of Athens, you’ll explore the Parthenon which is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Then, you’ll dive deeper into its worldly significance at the Acropolis Museum where marble masterpieces tell a story on their own. 
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.

Our guide Tina was excellent in explaining the whole journey of the tour right from the change of guards to city tour and she was crisp with the facts and very prompt to answering all our questions. She was very keen and explained everything with so much interest. The Acropolis and Parthenon was the highlight of the tour. I would highly recommend this walking tour, while just reminding that there is a lot of walking that is required on the tour. Thank you Athens Walking Tour for the experience.

This was such a fun way to learn about Athens. I wasn't really sure what I was signing up for, so I am going to try and list some things that would be helpful to know after the review. Our tour guide Margarete was so informative and had great information and little side stories about the sites. It was a LONG tour (but we chose that) and a lot of walking, but there is literally no other way to access these sites. Also, the tour ends during the hottest part of the day at the Acropolis museum, which is indoor and air-conditioned. It was honestly really nice to walk around Athens this way. I highly, highly recommend this tour. Some things to note: -The cost of this tour is just for the guide and the tour itself. You will need to buy tickets to access the sites yourself, but they will sell them to you. Just be ready with cash. I think it was about $70 total -The meeting point is at a parkway of some sort, but the actual meeting place was inside the metro station at that parkway. We almost missed our tour because we didn't know or catch that. So, if you can't find a group, walk down into the Metro station and look for people -The tour includes "skip the line" passes at places like the Acropolis and the museum, but almost everyone will have those, so be prepared to still wait in line. -If you are going in the summer, it is HOT. Bring water. If you have space in your luggage, bring an insulated bottle to help keep it cold. -The Acropolis will probably be busy when you go, so if you want it not busy, you would have to go back on your own and buy a new ticket, aim for sunrise for no crowds -I know some travel bloggers recommend doing Athens at the end of your trip so you have wiggle room to account for ferry cancellations, etc. I would say do not to that for an all-day walking tour. I would have been absolutely beat and not made it the whole day, but like I said we booked the longest tour. There are shorter ones.

We took the Athens Walking Tours 5 hour city tour with Margarite as our Guide. She was such a great Guide - we really enjoyed our time with her. This tour is perfect for an overview of the city. Good value, well-coordinated and executed. I highly recommend this company and Margarite!

We took the walking tour of The Acropolis and the new museum. Our guide was Olesya. She was so fun and so knowledgeable about Greek history and culture. I wish we could take her with us on our cruise as our guide for all our excursions. She was amazing.
