Please be aware that even with our skip-the-ticket-line service, there might be some waiting time required for security checks.

Our tour guide, Sissy was incredibly knowledgeable and fascinating. I’ve done dozens of walking tours and have never been on a tour with a tour guide so knowledgeable. I initially only had the acropolis/city walking tour but when she said she was also scheduled to do the acropolis museum tour I booked that tour with her and so glad I did. Sissy was a wealth of information and learned so much about mythology and Ancient Greek life. Highly. Recommended

I really enjoyed the myths that Athena told and how well she could describe the significance of the monuments. She was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable, and a great person overall. Highly recommend taking a tour from her.

Being here has really brought me the history that I have read about, taught, and watched documentaries. There was so much and was so wonderful. The tour is not for the faint hearted.

Georgia our guide was great, friendly, a lot of knowledge and the tour was well organized. We had great weather so it was more enjoyable to walk around Athens sights.

We really enjoyed our walking tour! Lots of great information at a pace that was relaxed but allowed us to see all of the sites.
While the acropolis was amazing, we also enjoyed the changing of the guards at the parliament buildings, and the walk through the National Gardens.
Our guide Apollon did a great job, and we were fortunate to meet two additional guides (Eva and Maria) who will be doing tours in the summer. They were all lovely and we would be happy to do another tour with them in the future.

Great tour.. We got a bit late as I had an injured leg.. Our archeologist guide Yanis (hope I spelled that right) was more than wonderful & accommodating.. He altered his pace to match mine, took the right number of breaks to help me & presented history in a great way.. The Acropolis tour could've been longer, but it was incredibly cold & windy up there.. He answered all our questions & delivered the tour right how it was described.. Thank you !!

Can’t say enough about Olesya’s Athens walking and Acropolis tours. Highlights of the walking tour included the changing of the guards at the Parliament building. I’ve watched my videos repeatedly with awe and respect for the guards. Strolling the National Garden brought a sense of quiet and calmness to the bustling city.
Acropolis tour was teeming with information from mythology to architectural facts. Her details aided in imagining the lives of the people who walked the paths before present time. Highly recommend her.

Arranged this tour last minute as we wanted a little more than just wandering around the summit on our own.
Meeting place near the south entry was easy to find and check in completed quickly. Price included entry to the archaeological area and a front of line pass.
Our guide, Antonis was incredibly knowledgeable and imparted information we would not have been able to get otherwise.
Although the climb to the summit is high it was managed in easy stages. Bring water as it is hot even in cooler months. It can be refilled at the summit.
Highly recommend.

Great walking tour with our guide Apollon on this 3.5 hour walk around Athens ending with a tour of the Acropolis and Parthenon.
Apollon was very informative and delivered in a great style which made the whole experience thoroughly worthwhile.
