What To Expect

Acropolis

Sightseeing in Athens starts with the hill of Acropolis which will make your day. On the historical hill, you will have the opportunity to see the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Temple of the Athena Nike, the monumental gateway (Propylaea), the Erechtheum and of course the famous Parthenon, the main temple dedicated to the virgin goddess Athena.

1 hour 30 minutes•Admission Included

Propylaea

The Propylaea is the monumental entrances to the sacred area dedicated to Athena, the patron goddess of the city. Built by the architect Mnesicles with Pentelic marble, their design was avant-garde. To the south-west of the Propylaea, on a rampart protecting the main entrance to the Acropolis, is the Ionian temple of Apteros Nike.

Theodore grew up in Athens and has an encyclopedic mind for history. We visited not only the ancient landmarks, but the best sites within those destinations.. A terrific 4 hours in Athens.

We had a wonderful tour of Athens, seeing the highlights and the acropolis. The private van was great and the driver was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Nickolas was an excellent guide for 1/2 day in Athens. He took us to the Acropolis and had our tickets ready to use to beat the crowds. A plus for us was he drove the 5 of us up hill, very near the ticket booth, saving us a lot of walking on a hot day! He also took us to watch the “ Changing of the Guards” which we had not seen before and were up close instead of far away like other tours. Our 3 granddaughters enjoyed the tour on their first visit to Greece. We all recommend this tour with Nickolas!
Wonderful tour!!

Wonderful tour for Athens highlights! Our family had limited time in Athens before heading to the islands and this tour was perfect. Our guide talked about each place we were visiting and then we were able to explore a bit on our own. For the Acropolis, he went into detail on some specific highlights before we entered the site and we were able to find/see those things on our own (without being tied to a large group tour). We were doing this tour after a long travel day, and having the breaks in an air conditioned vehicle was nice. We never could have covered as much of Athens as we did in 4 hours if we were walking. If you have limited time, this is the perfect tour. Or, if you want to preview several sites in Athens in order to decide what attractions you may want to go back to, this is a fantastic way to do that. Would definitely recommend!!!!

Babis was our tour guide, was prompt picking us up at the hotel and was very informative and knowledgeable of all the sites he took us to. It says "skip the line tickets" in booking details at the Acropolis on Viator, but he gave us general admission tickets, so be sure to ask beforehand and check tickets when you hook up with driver. He handed over tickets for it when we got there, did not go with us and we did not check tics before walking up to where you enter. The line was over 1.5 hours long and our stop there was only 1.5 hours. That was one of the reasons we went to Athens and was disappointed about that. We did get pictures from afar though. That was our only negative about our afternoon with Babis.
