What you can expect

Explore the fascinating Greek capital and its must-see landmarks. Learn the history of the city as your guide walks you through the imposing Temple of Zeus, the renowned Acropolis, and the world-famous Parthenon.

Immerse yourself in Greek mythology and see archaeological discoveries at the Metro Station Museum. Outside the Parliament you will watch the changing of the guard, where the uniforms are quintessentially Greek. The pleated kilts (or fustanella) and pom-pom-decorated footwear are sure to catch your attention.

As you move away from Syntagma Square, the most powerful god in Greek mythology waits for you. Marvel at the remains of the Temple of Zeus, and listen to your guide recounting the historical, mythological, architectural, and decorative details of the temple. On your way to the Temple you will pass by the National Gardens, the Zappeion and you will also admire the marvellous Hadrian's Arch.

Your next stop is the Acropolis—a UNESCO World Heritage Monument. Visit the Sanctuary of Dionysus and the open-air theatre, built in the 6th century BC. Atop the hill, stunning views open before you, including the remains of the Propylaea—monumental gateway—and the impressive Parthenon.

This exploration would not be complete without mentioning the importance of the Ancient Agora, the National Observatory of Athens and the city’s scenic hills: Filoppapos, Mars, and Pnyx.

The Covid19 Measures set by the Greek Government frequently change. Thus, it is advisable to check local restrictions applicable to indoor and outdoor activities.

It was pretty good but we thought we were getting archaelogical sites, not sure why syntagma square was one of the chosen stops or the park. We paid a lot of money and didn't get much although the acropolis was amazing. too much time wasted before getting there. Olympia Zeus was a disappointment to have to pay more money to see that and not much there. Would have been nicer to see the Panathenic stadium rather than a park. Guide was very knowledgeable but it was too long and very hot out

Not only did we get the opportunity to see these amazing treasures, but our guide, Hermes, was SUPERB. So much detailed information shared, with a lovely dry wit, and great care to find us some shade whenever possible. The tour was fabulous and it was a great first day in Athens.

It was very nice walking tour ANNA our guide was very knowledgeable and was great learning experience. I do recommend good walking shoe as the hike up to the acropolis can be sloppy in some places and lots of water and a hat that can handle wind( mine kept flying off so I had no protection from the sun) as it very hot ,arrived there around 11am. It would have better to start with acropolis and finished at subway station i would still recommend this tour and price is very reasonable.

We never got to use this service as our Delta flight cancelled and we were a day late getting to Athens. We were given 1/2 refund but never got to reschedule.
