Athens All Included: Acropolis and Museum Guided Tour with Ticket
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
This tour connects the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum into one complete story. Rather than seeing monuments and artifacts separately, you first explore the Acropolis with an expert guide, then continue to the museum to understand how its sculptures, reliefs, and architectural elements once belonged to the temples above.
With a small group and a licensed local guide, the experience is paced, informative, and easy to follow, helping first-time visitors grasp the historical, artistic, and human context behind the sites. Pre-reserved tickets ensure smooth entry, while the museum visit—including the Parthenon Gallery and Archaic Gallery—adds depth and clarity that a standalone visit can’t provide.

Good Tour but not enough free time inside Acropolis

4.00I enjoyed this tour but the reason I gave it 4 stars is because I wanted more free time to explore the Acropolis on my own. We only had 10 minutes of free time there. The information was good and the tour guide very knowledgeable, but it was too in depth for my liking. I’d rather have a little less of listening to the guide and more free time to explore and take pictures on our own in the Acropolis. Note that the museum part was fine. The tour ended after a short time in there and then we could explore the museum more on our own.

Walks In Europe : Acropolis and the museum
SHARAD M,,Jan 5, 2026

5.00Our tour of the Acropolis and its museum was truly generative and enlightening, thanks to Eva’s profound historical expertise, her energy and her infectious, vibrant passion for Greek heritage. She possesses a rare gift for storytelling, blending academic rigour with a sharp humour and open-mindedness that made ancient history feel both relatable and alive. Beyond her vast knowledge, Eva’s genuine consideration for our pace and her intuitive, patient nature ensured every moment was comfortable and engaging. It is uncommon to find a guide so articulate, charismatic, and inclusive, and she turned a simple sightseeing trip into a deeply meaningful cultural exchange.
It's been an amazing tour.

5.00It was such a great tour. Despite barely making it on the tour due to a flight delay, they followed us closely. The explanation of the key points was also very nice. They also gave me sound advice on where to take photos.
