Acropolis

MEETING OUR GUIDE. Your guide will be waiting at Makrygianni Street at the Acropolis Metro stop which is just around the corner from the Acropolis Main Entrance. Our meeting spot provides an ideal perspective from which to view the surrounding wall of the Acropolis built by the earlier Mycenean civilization and to provide you with an introduction to the History of the Acropolis, its importance and role in the life of ancient Greece, and an overview of the temples & amazing monuments you are about to see.

5 minutes • Admission Not Included

Theatre of Dionysus

Still in a good state of preservation, one of our first stops is the Ancient THEATER OF DIONYSUS. Built in the 4th & 5th century BC in a natural amphitheater o nthe slopes of the Acropolis it would have had an impressive capacity of 25000, it is considered the world's oldest. Amazing to think that many of the most famous Ancient Greek plays would have had their original premieres here!

  • History, photos and insider tips — Vicky was amazing!

    Our private Golden Hour tour of the Acropolis with Vicky was unforgettable. She was lovely, knowledgeable, and kept our family (parents + two teens/young adults) engaged the whole time. She took amazing photos of us, shared great insider tips about Athens, and the golden light made it magical. Worth every penny — highly recommend! Also of note is the smooth and rapid communication exchanges with Warmpenguin, the tour guide company.

    Our guide was knowledgeable, considerate, and thorough. She patiently waited for us to drink water in shady spots. She produced books and pictures to help us understand our surroundings. We are slow walkers but didn't feel rushed

  • There was a lot of uphill...

    There was a lot of uphill walking. and steps. The humidity and heat complicated the climb plus we took this tour the day we arrived from the US with lack of sleep, etc. Our guide was super helpful in allowing. for rest breaks with time to hydrate using those times to give loads of historical information. Having a licensed tour guide to accompany us and showing us details and answering our questions was very beneficial. I had been to the Acropolis in 2008 on a tour bus with a large number of people and the private tour was well worth the extra cost.

  • Great Experience!
