Cần Quan Tâm
South Slope of the Acropolis of Athens
As in every good story, everything begins with an introduction. It's not easy to tell the story of one of the most historically rich cities in the world. Yet, we aim to give our guests a broader perspective. That's why, at the beginning of the tour, we offer a concise lesson on the creation of human civilization, and then we place ancient Greek civilization — and Athens in particular — within that framework, so that people can truly understand its importance and contribution.
Theatre of Dionysus
The first monument we will see on our way up to the Acropolis is the Theatre of Dionysus — the first theatre in human history. This is where theatre and drama as a practice were born, and where the earliest plays — tragedies and comedies — were performed in front of the Athenian public. These plays were written by some of the most famous writers of all time, including Sophocles, Euripides, and Aeschylus.

5.00Our guide was so extremely informative and enthusiastic about not only explaining history but also teaching the values in this world. He was spot on and so entertaining. We were so extremely lucky to experience this history with such a dedicated, high energy, respectful, and decent guy. He should be a teacher and if you let him guide you, you will see that he already is an educator. He knows what happened in every age, era, and place. What a lesson. We will always look for him and recommend him for tours in the future. Thanks for a fabulous afternoon! MEGAN and MATT STEVENS
Personable, Knowledgable & Down to Earth!

5.00Harris was exceptional. His knowledge of Greek history left me speechless. I learned so much from his “history lesson.” I enjoyed every bit of it! He is extremely personable & kind! We had a medical emergency & could not reschedule our tour with him, so he met us while we had dinner & wine. He wouldn’t even drink with us! He sat with his laminated cards and taught us so much! I am very grateful for this opportunity. I highly recommend Harris to guide you around the acropolis. You will see so much more than the ancient ruins. You will get a feel for the historic times and an appreciation beyond measure! Thank you Harris!

Understand Why Ancient Greece is Still Important Today

5.00If you're in Athens, book this guided tour of the Acropolis. My wife and I completed our visit with a “Historical Tour For History Enthusiasts” led by Harris, a real-life historian. But if that sounds dull and boring, you are definitely in for a treat. Turns out Harris is also a comedian, a philosopher, a photographer, a student, a teacher, and a very kind person. He brings the history of this ancient site to life and connected the brilliant innovations of ancient Greece to the world we live in today. I walked away with a profound new appreciation for the origins of democracy, philosophy, and athletics. Beyond the fascinating commentary, the tour itself was a feast for the eyes. The Parthenon and other ancient structures are breathtaking up close, and the panoramic views from the top of the rock are simply amazing. You can see all of modern Athens stretching out below, creating a stunning contrast between the ancient and the new. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Our guide’s humor and expertise transformed what could have been a simple sightseeing trip into a truly meaningful and memorable historical journey. Book this tour—you won't regret it.
Excellent for an original and in-depth immersion from ancient time to the world of today

5.00Fantastic tour, really out of the ordinary. This is not an ordinary touristic visit. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable. We had in depth discussions not only on the history of Acropolis and Greece, but also the impact it had on western civilisation and the world today. The guide also did a great job in making the visit entertaining, even for our kids who enjoyed the stories and quiz! Highly recommend for those who want to learn one layer further.

5.00This is the best ever guided tour I had in my life! Charalampos was our guide. His name means "glowing with joy and with wiseness". And so was he! And so was the tour. Four hour of nonstop stories and history, focusing on the history of Greece from the dawn of civilisation till today, to explain and depict the impact of the Greek civilisation on our world. Moral, ethics, law and culture.
Best tour we’ve ever had!!

5.00Harris was so knowledgeable and helped us learn about the history of the area back to 10,000 years BC. He was a very patient and knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! We had an amazing time and are leaving Athens knowing more about Greek history and even some life lessons. He paused to help take photos of us and knew all the best spots to stand. Amazing!!
