What To Expect
Acropolis
The Athens sightseeing tour starts by visiting the imposing naturally fortified hill of the Acropolis. The tour includes a walk that travels the visitors through ancient times in one of the oldest cities in the world, which was considered as the cradle of the western civilization, birthplace of the philosophy, the theatre and the democracy. By passing the monumental gate of Propylaea you’ll see the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechteion and the Parthenon. You will enjoy the panoramic view of Athens and Piraeus port. At the foot of the Acropolis hill you’ll see the ancient theater of Dionysos (the oldest theatre of the world), the Odeon of Herodus Atticus and the Areopagus (Mars Hill).
Propylaea
The first propylon, or gate, was constructed in the age of Peisistratos (mid-sixth century BC) after the Acropolis had become a sanctuary dedicated to Athena. A new propylon, built-in 510-480 BC, was destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC and repaired after the end of the Persian Wars, during the fortification of the Acropolis by Themistokles and Kimon. The monumental Propylaia admired by modern visitors was part of the great Periklean building program. They were erected in 437-432 BC, after the completion of the Parthenon, by architect Mnesikles.

5.00Andrew was a terrific guide. Even with my broken knee, he made sure to get us to all the sights as close as possible. He was even able to get me on the elevator at the Acropolis. It was a wonderful and enlightening experience.
Lovely!

5.00We took the 6 hour Athens tour with Andreas. He was very professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable of the city. He showed us all of the important main sites of Athens,including the area around the beach and coast. I would highly recommend him for your day tour.

5.00We were a group of ten, with our own mini-bus. Clean and comfortable. Our driver Frank made it the most wonderful experience for us. He was very flexible around what we wanted to see, and really knew his way around where we timed things just right (e.g. changing of the guard, Acropolis tickets). His restaurant recommendation for lunch was honestly a big food highlight of our whole 10-day Greek trip! Delicious authentic meal served in the most wonderful family-run place we'd been to.

5.00Our driver Alex brought history to life. He knew how to get around a busy town, where to park, where we should go for lunch, and went over and above by showing us historical photos of the famous sites we were seeing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and spoke great English. He tailored our tour to our families, specific needs and interests.
Wonderful Experience
