Why take this tour?

On this small-group tour, you skip the long lines that crowd the main entrance. Your expert Athenian guide takes you to the Dionysus Theater entrance, allowing you to go at a relaxed pace to see the Parthenon, the Choragic Monument of Thrasyllus, the Eumenes Stoa, the Asclepius Sanctuary, and many more sites and monuments. Your guide shares the important history and lesser-known facts along the way, giving you a greater appreciation for some of the world’s most significant monuments.

This tour is complemented by a visit to the Acropolis Museum, an impressive center of archaeological research and ancient Greek history — not to mention a great way to take a break from the Athens heat.

Bonus: Start the day with a free sample of Greek yogurt after you check in with your guide!
