Bask in the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum walking tour in the early morning lights of a fiery Greek sun and the company of an expert licensed tour guide.

Start with skip-the-line tickets to Acropolis hill. Your licensed guide is there to take you on a full detailed journey around the ancient ruins of the stunning, UNESCO-listed Acropolis. Entering on the south slope of the Acropolis you’ll visit the Dionysus Sanctuary and Dionysus Theater before you walk up the slope leading to the Acropolis monuments. Ascending towards the hill, every monument is a whole new experience. Enter the Propylea, the ancient gate which frames the entrance to the Acropolis, and come across the temple of Athena Nike, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom and war. Marvel at the cradle of western civilization and undoubtedly one of the greatest historical monuments in the world, the Parthenon. Head towards the Erechtheion, a grandiose temple dedicated to Athena and Poseidon.

Once at the summit of the Acropolis hill, take in the sweeping panoramas of the capital of Greece and enjoy panoramic views of the city that will be perfect for Instagram-ready photos.

Continue your tour at the Acropolis museum. A visit that has the power to put everything you saw at the Acropolis into an amazingly vivid context, connecting the dots between the marble ruins and filling in the blanks of nearly 2,500 years of history.

We loved visiting both sites, the guide was great. If you are travelling with kids bring a bottle of water with you, a hat and sunscreen, the sun is hot but it's worth it.

If you wish to avoid the crowds the best time to visit Acropolis is early in the morning from 8:00 am to 10:00 am.

It is recommended that visitors  bring small to medium-sized backpacks to the Museum.

Yes, photography is allowed in the museum, except the Archaic Acropolis Gallery, without the use of flash.

When visiting the Acropolis hill you will admire the Parthenon, the Erechtheon, the Propylaea and temple Athena Nike.
