Overview

A unique, full-day Athens guided tour and introduction to the most important city sights, including the Acropolis, the Herodeion, the Acropolis Museum, Plaka and more. It's a tour where the visitor gets to have a first "taste" of the city, from a small scale next to important monuments, to a large scale by seeing panoramic views of Athens from the two most famous hills, the Acropolis and Lycabettus.
Furthermore, once we mentioned "taste", you will taste authentic greek cuisine in one of the many very good restaurants that exist in the city center.

We have very experienced tour guides with whom you will have an unforgetable time!

Acropolis

The acropolis of Athens is the most visited archaeological site in Greece. Marvelous constructions exist around and on the sacred hill of Athens. The Parthenon, the Erectheion, a roman auditorium, ancient greek theater and much more. But these monuments are "empty" without the guidance of an expert who will unfold all the stories that "dress" these marbled miracles.
