Towering over Athens and crowning the Acropolis, the Parthenon is the most iconic image of the Greek capital. Enjoy it at its most pristine on this small group tour that uses skip the line access and your choice of an early morning or evening itinerary that gets you there before or after the crowds. Visit some of the key monuments and temples and skip the lines at the New Acropolis Museum for an in-depth look at the history and legends surrounding these ancient wonders.
See one of the world’s most visited landmarks without the crowds on this small group, skip-the-line tour of the Acropolis and New Acropolis Museum. Be among the first people of the day to see the Parthenon on our morning tour and after all the large tour groups have left on the evening tour. No matter which tour you choose, you'll be among the few people to see this magnificent monument at its quietest.
Your tour begins meeting your guide and small group of no more than 15 people. If you're joining the morning tour, use skip the line ticket to be first through the gates of the Acropolis when it opens.
While other groups stop at the temples and monuments on the way up the hill, you’ll march straight to the main event for an intimate encounter with one of the greatest buildings in history. You’ll learn some of its secrets, take in stunning views of the city, and enjoy a full tour of the Acropolis highlights, like the Erechtheon, Monumental Gateway, Temple of Athena Nike and the Theater of Dionysus.
Then, you’ll head down the hill to the New Acropolis Museum where you’ll skip the line and enjoy a tour of the highlights of the collection, including the Caryatids and the Parthenon Marbles. The morning tour ends in the museum, so you can spend more time exploring the collection.
If you prefer an evening tour, you'll skip the line and begin with a guided visit with your expert guide at the New Acropolis Museum. From there, you and your small group will walk to the Acropolis and arrive at the Parthenon after the crowds have left and the sun begins to set on Athens. The full tour of the Acropolis continues and then concludes at the Theater of Dionysus, the oldest theater in the world.
