The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is part of the Acropolis and still in use today during the Athens Festival.

The Acropolis is Athen’s most famed landmarks so come early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

The Erechtheion erected on the north side of the Acropolis was a temple dedicated to Athena and Poseidon.

The Erechtheion was built to honor king Erechtheus who was mentioned in Homer’s famed Iliad.

Excellent tour. Our guide was very good and made sure everyone was safe and her directions were clear. There was plenty of free time for photos.

Loved our guide. The tour was great. We got to see the highlights of the Acropolis and we had plenty of free time to explore on our own.

Fascinating, informative, and efficient! Athens has so much history and our tour guide was great at knowing everything about the Acropolis and each historical point with a little humor. She also didn’t drag on too long with any subject and kept things going at a good pace. Highly recommend!

Good half day tour to go around Athens and see the Acropolis with a very knowledgeable guide. Price might be a little high for just a few hours and a big bus to go up to the Acropolis.

Great time. Hit all the major points. It's very croweded this time of the year and walking around can be a challenge but would do it again.

My wife and I had wonderful visit to the Acropolis and general tour of Athens. Our guide was friendly and informative. She explained the history of Athens and added humorous insights.

Excellent tour guide and very informative. It was worth it to see the museum as well. Going on another tour tomorrow.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and patient with an elderly participant. The tour took us to the top of the acropolis where was learned about the Parthenon. We then went on a bus tour of the city to see more sights. The tour finished in the museum which was really good.

Excellent, action packed, well versed tour guide. Hotel pick up and drop off a major perk. We enjoyed it greatly
