What To Expect
Areopago
The rocky hillock was the seat of the Areopagus Council. It was from this spot that the Apostle Paul first preached the doctrines of Christianity in Athens.
Acropolis
The Athenian Acropolis is the most famous archaeological site in Greece and a prominent symbol of Western Civilization. If you are visiting Athens you must experience a stroll on the Athenian Acropolis and admire some of the greatest achievements of ancient Greek architecture. These buildings were constructed during the Golden Age of Pericles when the citizens of Athens spared no expense to glorify their city with everlasting monuments. They include the monumental Gateway, known as the Propylaea, and three temples: the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. The east and south sides of the summit also offer breath-taking panoramic views of the lower city, where some of the most important landmarks of Athens are located.

Expert tour of Acropolis and Museum

5.00Our guide, Angelo, is the best! He made sure we got a complete history, while also making sure we had plenty of water, shade whenever possible, and photo opportunities. He's quite an expert! It's probably best suited for adults, as we both were. Children may not find it so interesting.
Highly recommend!

5.00This was a great way to see the Acropolis and Parthenon! Evangelos was excellent. Kind. Knowledgeable. And patient! We learned so much. And it was amazing to end the tour in the Acropolis museum after having just visited the ancient site. Well worth it. Highly recommend. Thank you Evangelos!

5.00Evangelos was a superb guide! We booked 1.5h visit of the acropolis, with a private tour. He explained and guided us through all the acropolis site, with his expert views and knowledge of the site. He is kind and fun, never boring. He also took us wonderful pictures whenever I wanted. The tour I booked was 1.5 h but he remained with us for almost 2.5 h. We enjoyed our private experience!

5.00I have to admit that I do not know much about ancient Athenian history and Greek mythology. Angelos did a splendid job patiently explaining and bringing the magnificent artifacts and monuments to life. He interacted well with children (10 and 8 yrs) to keep them engaged during the 4 hours we were together. Thank you Angelos for a wonderful day.
Highly recommend!

5.00We had a great experience with Angelo on our tour of the Acropolis. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Though it was quite chilly on our January visit, it made for an uncrowded, unhurried and very memorable experience. We highly recommend Angelo as your guide.
An Exceptional Acropolis Experience With Angel

5.00Our tour with Angel was one of the highlights of our trip to Athens. His experience as a field archaeologist and deep knowledge of ancient history truly shine through in every explanation. What made the experience even more enjoyable was his warm personality, he welcomed every question and answered with insight and enthusiasm. Angel brought the ruins to life, making the Acropolis and the museum not just a site to see, but a story to experience. On top of it all, he’s also a great photographer. Highly recommend!

5.00Our guide Angel was wonderful. He patiently answered our questions and was genuinely happy we asked so many. We enjoyed the variety and depth of information he provided. He also took good care of us (one of us disabled and the other seriously jetlagged). This was a déightful Tour!
