The Ideal Combination Tour! See the city center including two top sights in just a few hours. At the Acropolis of Athens, you’ll explore the Parthenon which is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Then, you’ll dive deeper into its worldly significance at the Acropolis Museum where marble masterpieces tell a story on their own. Please be aware that even with our skip-the-ticket-line service, there might be some waiting time required for security checks. This is because visitor numbers can fluctuate unpredictably at the sites throughout the day. The typical waiting time falls within 0 to 10 or 30 minutes, though on rare occasions, it might be longer.

We did the walking tour that included early entry at the Acropolis, the museum and lunch with a walk around Plakka and nearby areas. Anna was our guide and she was excellent. She had so much knowledge and led us to the pertinent things to look at. As a local, she had so much perspective. I would have never got as much out of the day on my own.

We had 2 tour guides and both were incredible!! Ask for Yota & Annie if taking this tour. You will not forget it!

A lovely way to see the city and learn the endless history present! Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We only wish we had more time on top of the acropolis to wander and admire the views before continuing on to the museum.

Overall, very good. However, the first portion of the tour was mediocre, at best, which was a "tour" through the subway station with a rapid fire narrative with an assortment of random facts without context or story, followed by a walk through a park with similar disjointed narrative. The tour of the Acropolis and museum was excellent with an engaging guide. Suggest only the Acropolis and museum tour.

It’s hot. Have a hat and sunscreen and water. Fantastic day. Do the entire tour with the guide including buying and getting a tour of the museum.

The start of the starts at the bottom of escalator of the Metra station. If you use Google maps it takes you above the station. Once I figured that out and stopped being frustrated it was very pleasant. Lol! We were in a group of about 12 people and they issued us ear pieces to hear the guide as she talked and explained everything. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of Athens long history and we enjoyed the walk through all the places. After a couple hours we took a break and we went with another guide to tour the acropolis some stayed with the our original guide. The second guide was also nice and knowledgeable. It was harder to hear her on the ear piece. It kept sounding scratchy and when she turned her head away from the microphone I could barely hear her. We had skip the line access to the Acropolis which I thought was a must as seeing the line long like an amusement park ride. But speaking with other people later on I discovered they allow so many people an hour. So once that hour comes they almost get everyone through. At top of the Acropolis seeing the Parthenon and old sights were amazing. It was very windy at the top. The tour was definitely worth it.

This experience is like three tours in one! We had a fantastic day with a very knowledgable guide. The first part was a walking tour through the city, then we met up with more people before heading up to the hill to the ruins and ended our day with a tour of the Acropolis museum (which was only the two of us with our guide). I highly recommend going to the museum to get a better understanding of what you see at the ruins site. Tina walked us through the museum and did an excellent job of making the connections between what we had just seen throughout the ruins and the museum exhibits. We greatly appreciated that we were not rushed and that our guide spent extra time with us to make sure we saw everything. Tina's pride in her country, as well as, her love of history and mythology was evident throughout the entire day.

Amazing! Our guide Eva is one of the best guides ever ❤️ She is kind, patience, sweet and always smiling. We loved every second. She kept us interested for hours, waited for everyone and constantly made sure every participant was ok and happy with the tour. Thank you so much dearest Eva! Thanks to you our tour and visit were fantastic 🤗

Anna was our guide and we did the 4-hour tour starting at the Acropolis for 2 hours then going to the museum for the remaining time. We learn a lot about the Acropolis and a lot about Greek mythology.. I recommend the tour as well as specifically the tour guide Anna, she was funny, kept us engaged, and was able to quickly get us in and out of the crowded spaces.
