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.

5.00My family consists of several history/philosophy nerds and this tour met all our needs, and was interesting to the non nerds also. Our guide was excellent at sharing information and ideas, and also knowing where the best photos could be taken, water could be refilled, etc. Some of the walkways are quite steep and/or slippery, but so worth it. People with mobility issues use caution.
For those who want to go beyond the clichés!

5.00We love history and wanted to avoid the typical Acropolis tours that feel superficial and full of clichés. After quite a bit of research, we were really happy to find the Historical Tour. It turned out to be almost 4 hours of deep, well-connected insights, not only about the Acropolis itself, but about the broader context that makes this period and place so unique. It was genuinely moving to imagine the birth of theatre and so many other pivotal moments. We did the tour in the afternoon in April and it was great! If it’s warm, bring a hat and plenty of water. We highly recommend it, without hesitation.

5.00The best tour guide in Athens for those who seek not a usual tour. Xaris is a well established and down-to-earth guy, who takes the historic experience in another level.

5.00The tour was very nice and the guide very knowledgeable. Prepare for a lot of historical information at a slow pace through the Acropolis 🙂 Our tour took about 3 and a half hours, with very detailed information about each place

5.00When I booked The Acropolis of Athens Historical Tour for History Enthusiasts for myself and my 17 year old daughter I described it to her: “It seems to be an almost 3 hour university style lecture on The Acropolis and its place in history, philosophy and politics.” Harris delivered beyond that expectation. As people who look for the the “why” of everything, we feel privileged to have received his wondrously wide breadth of knowledge and understanding of the history of the development of The Acropolis, the people involved and the impact it’s had from inception to present day. Harris is a personable guide who made a point to connect with us and make the information he shared relevant to our interests. I can’t imagine a better way to experience The Acropolis.
There is no better way to tour The Acropolis. Book this tour!
