4.Acropolis and Parthenon Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 5,882 reviews · from $38

Join a local licensed guide for a 2 to 3.5-hour walk up the Acropolis, from the Theatre of Dionysus to the Parthenon. Headsets help you follow the stories amid crowds, and the views take in Athens’ hills and ancient sites. Past guides have included Eva, Dory, Maria, and Victor. Choose carefully between options with and without entry tickets.

“The guide was excellent. Regrettably I didn’t get his name but I think it was “Panos” (short for a long Greek one lol). His English was excellent and he was an engaging story teller. The only issue is it’s very busy but that is not the tour’s fault - we went at 5:30pm and I would recommend that (not only for the heat but the “golden hours” for photos!) I definitely recommend this tour.”

Meet your English-speaking archaeologist-guide at Porinou 5 for a walk up the Acropolis’s south slope, past ancient theaters and temples to the Parthenon and Erechtheion.

“Anna was such a great tour guide. She was very enthusiastic and considerate! Also very thorough in knowledge of everything and anything we had questions for. The 4 hour tour sounded quite daunting but it was so intriguing that it didn’t feel long at all. If ur interested in Ancient Greek history at all this would be an amazing and educational experience. I learned so much it was so much fun and once again Anna was so great! (Should give a raise) would love to do it all again.”

“This Acropolis and Parthenon self-guided tour is well worth a visit. The entrance can get a little crowded so buy your tickets in advance so you can jump the queue. There is a lot to see so take your time, that way you won’t miss anything. It is a steady uphill walk so in the summer months visit early and take plenty of water. Top tip: my wife always takes an umbrella because shade is very scarce.”
