About this activity

Skip the queues and explore Athens' most iconic classical site with a licensed archaeologist guide fluent in German. This intimate afternoon walking tour covers the Parthenon, ancient temples, and theatres spanning 2,500 years of Western civilisation, with expert insight into sculptures and architectural significance.

Explore the monuments of the Acropolis on a small group afternoon walking tour with a German-speaking licensed tour guide and archaeologist. Visit the Parthenon, and learn the fascinating history of the most important classical site in the western world. 

Join a licensed archaeologist guide, and admire an astonishing collection of sculptures that tell more than 2,500 years of history, from the 1st theater of human civilization at the Theater of Dionysus, to the Healing Temple of Asclepius, and Odeon of Herodes Atticus. 

See the Temple of Athena Nike (Temple of Wingless Victory), and the gateway to the Propylaeum. Go to the remains of the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheum.
