Athens · ACROPOLIS HILL TOURS

The 15 Best Acropolis Tours in Athens

277 tours  Β·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.7 average  Β·  from $30

The rock is one climb and several completely different mornings. These 15 cover the lot: gate tickets for people who want the marble to themselves at eight, two-hour guided walks that explain the Erechtheion and the 1687 explosion, and the combo passes that keep working all week. Prices, group sizes and how early each really needs booking.

“We toured the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum with Iris as our guide and had a wonderful four hours. If we had visited on our own, we probably would have walked through quickly without fully understanding or appreciating the site. Thanks to Iris, the experience was both engaging and informative, especially with the mythological stories that brought everything to life. We visited with our children, aged 11 and 13, and they listened with great interest throughout. They even said afterward how glad they were that we joined a guided tour. A special thank you to our guide Iris β€” her energy, communication, and the knowledge she shared made the experience…”

“A very good tour with lots of important and interesting information. The pace was good and I especially liked the head sets or ear buds so we could always hear the guide even when in busy crowds. I’m glad I choose to include the museum tour because that’s where all the history and information are brought together for a full understanding of the acropolis.”

“It was a deeply impressive cultural experience, and I was moved by every building I visited. The only exception was an encounter at the entrance, where I came across three young female pickpockets. Just as they were about to steal from me, I managed to stop them. They were very young, probably under 20 years old, and were speaking what sounded like Spanish. I later reported the incident to a staff member, and there was concern about how they had managed to enter the premises. Other than that, the rest of the experience was wonderful.”

“Maria was an exceptional guide! She provided a wealth of information throughout the tour and was extremely gracious during the times of trouble I experienced. When I was knocked over by a couple of dogs that were fight she took extra special care of me until I was able to resume the tour. She even offered me her own bicycle to finish the tour with because of the damage done to my bike caused by the dog fight. Her knowledge of the history of your wonderful country greatly enhanced each stop along the way. One of the best experiences we had during our two-week visit to Greece.”
