On this skip-the-line, informative and fun tour of the Acropolis of Athens, you'll explore the city’s most significant monument through a blend of history, mythology and storytelling. An English-speaking field expert and licensed tour guide will accompany you as you move through the site, pointing out key structures and explaining their historical and cultural context in clear, engaging terms.

The experience continues at the Acropolis Museum, which has been ranked among the top museums in the world. There you'll see the original surviving masterpieces from the temples of the Acropolis displayed with the use of natural light. Along the way, excavations are visible beneath glass floors and walkways, so you can observe archaeological finds in situ as you learn about their place in Athens’ past.
