Overview

Discover the Acropolis the premium way: in a small group of max 12 guests (option of English, French, or Italian), with a licensed Greek guide and carefully chosen start times to avoid the heat and crowds.

During this focused 2-hour tour, you’ll explore the Parthenon, the Erechtheion with the Caryatids, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike and the Theater of Dionysus, with plenty of time for photos and questions.
