Meet your guide and start your unmemorable Acropolis afternoon tour. See the landmark monuments of Athens in a new light during a late afternoon tour of the Acropolis. Avoid the crowds and warmer temperatures and set yourself off on a leisurely walking tour of some of the world’s most impressive monuments. Along the way, listen as your top-rated licensed guide shares knowledgeable insight of the citadel's ruins, including excavation details, and be sure that you'll step back in time and discover how Athens became one of the greatest cities of the ancient world, a beacon of civilization. Be ready to outface one of the most recognized buildings on Earth: the Parthenon. Meander around the temple to learn more about how it was constructed for the goddess Athena.

Traveler reviews
A poor experience
A very disappointing experience. Little customer service provided, tour guides were rude and arrogant. Overall a poor experience and I would not recommend using them if you are travelling from the U.K.
Dream come true!
This tour was a dream come true! Athens has been at the top of my travel wishlist since I was a little girl and we found ourselves with one day to spend there. The evening walking tour was well organized and our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Doing this tour in the evening also meant lighter crowds and cooler temperatures and the entire experience was amazing. I probably muttered, “I can’t believe we’re here” 20 times throughout the tour. Highly recommend!
