Know before you go

  • This tour requires walking uphill and on uneven surfaces.
  • Tickets to the site must be purchased beforehand. Regular tickets can be purchased online but all free or discounted tickets can only be purchased in person at the ticket office. Even if you benefit from free admission, it is necessary to have the physical ticket that is only given at the ticket office.
  • If you do the tour at 8:15, we recommend being in the ticket office area of the south entrance around 7:45 a.m. so that when they open to the public (at 8:00 a.m.) you can get them quickly before having a longer queue. Once the tickets are given to you, you must go to the meeting point, which is less than a 2-minute walk from the ticket office.

  • Meeting point location: https://goo.gl/maps/84CxmmK2pvrSsRrU9
  • If you have discount or free entrance, we recomend you do the tours at 8:15 or 17:00 (depends on availability) because ticket office will be less crowded.

Hicimos el tour con un guía madrileño (no recuerdo su nombre) y nos gustó mucho. El guía un apasionado de la historia, nos explicó muy bien cada rincón de la Acrópolis. Transmitía muy bien su pasión y, al ser un grupo reducido (8 personas en total), la experiencia fue muy buena.

Hicimos el tour con nuestra guía Inma, que es arqueóloga y una persona simpatiquísima. Nos explicó con rigurosidad las distintas etapas históricas de la Acrópolis de una forma muy amena y una sonrisa permanente. Su fantástico trabajo nos hizo más que llevadero el calorazo y el agobio de las miles de personas que estábamos allí.

El guía nos esperaba en el punto de encuentro mientras alguien estaba en la cola, lo que supuso que no tuvimos que esperar, así que muy positivo. Entramos a primera hora y no pasamos calor. Nuestro guía, dinámico y con formación. Totalmente recomendable.
