About this activity

A curated 4-hour private walking tour combining Athens' most iconic hilltop monuments with exclusive access to the acclaimed Acropolis Museum. Your licensed guide reveals the architectural and cultural significance of 2,500 years of history—from the Parthenon to lesser-known gems like the Temple of Athena Nike and Theatre of Dionysus—then immerses you in the museum's world-class sculpture collections.

Explore the history of Athens on a walking tour with a private guide. Start at the city's most monumental site, the iconic Acropolis. Admire the astonishing collection of sculptures that describe more than 2,500 years of history, from the glorious first theater of humanity at the Theatre of Dionysus, to the Healing Temple of Asclepius, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. See the Temple of Athena Nike (Temple of Wingless Victory), the gateway of the Propylaea, the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion, and the crowning glory of the Parthenon. Your licensed guide will explain the roles the various monuments played at the center of classical civilization in the western hemisphere, before taking you to the new state-of-the-art Acropolis Museum, where relics from Ancient Greece await your discovery in spectacular displays.
