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.

Interesante recorrido por las zonas más importantes de la acrópolis. El guía conocía muchos detalles y datos con precisión e hizo muy amena e interesante la visita. Tuvimos un contratiempo con el día y hora de visita y la compañía de tours lo resolvió de forma rápida y cómoda.

Hicimos el tour con Juan y lo cierto es que, como él mismo dice, "pone toda la carne en el asador" para lograr una más que satisfactoria visita a la Acrópolis atenienses. Los datos históricos demuestran el enorme conocimiento del guía sobre el terreno que maneja con maestría. Además, su carisma personal hace que puedas zambullirte sin dificultad en el complejo devenir de los tiempos que han marcado el conjunto arquitectónico en cuestión. Un completo acierto.

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.
