Itinerary

Join the original Athens walking tour and benefit from over 20 years of experience. Stroll to the foothills of the Unesco World Heritage Site of the Acropolis of Athens, one of the world’s most revealing archaeological sites.

Avoid the crowds and head for the south slope of the Acropolis to avoid the main crowds. Visit the Theatre of Dionysus, a 5th-century amphitheater cited as the birthplace of the performing arts. Hear about its history and imagine it filled with the theatergoers of Ancient Greece.

Stop at the Dionysus Sanctuary, dedicated to the Greek god of wine and fertility. Once inside the Acropolis, get up-close to important sights, such as the Propylaea gateway, Erechtheion, Temple of Athena Nike, and Parthenon. Pause for photos of these fascinating ruins, and learn their history from your guide.

Once at the summit of the sacred hill, take in the sweeping panoramas of Athens. Learn about the excavations, and get an insight into the citadel’s ruins. Hear about surrounding monuments, such as Mars Hill, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and the ancient Agora, once the heart of Athens.

Continue on to the Acropolis Museum, now ranked as one of the top 5 museums in the world. See the highlights of the impressive collection of statues and relics. Go to the Gallery of the Slopes of the Acropolis, where the glass floors reveal excavation sites. End your tour inside the museum, leaving you free to explore its exhibits further should you wish.

Skip-the-Ticket Line Access

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.
