How refreshing it was to experience Dora explain the development and progression of the Parthenon Athens. Navigating up the south side and meandering effortlessly around the artefacts and upwards was a rare treat. Great job!

Efficient office issuing instructions & audio, so that we could hear our guide throughout the tour. Only downside was no toilets at Athena Travel after journey in, but lovely cafe Caelum down the road for breakfast. Very knowledgeable guide who paced it well & stopped for talks in shade! Fab tour!

Tolle Tour die man machen sollte. Unser Guide (Angela) hatte ein sehr gutes Wissen und ich habe viel gelernt. Sie hat auch immer darauf geachtet, dass wir im Schatten stehen. Feste Schuhe anziehen auf keinen Fall mit Schlappen da hoch. Danke für die tolle Tour!

Half-day private tour of Athens with Acropolis and Plaka visits

Half-day private tour of Athens with Acropolis and Plaka visits

The ancient Greeks left behind a treasure trove of monuments, statues and artefacts in Athens. And on this private tour, you'll take in all the top spots with an expert guide. Exclusively for you and your party, you'll tour highlights including the Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library, the Plaka neighbourhood and the UNESCO-listed Acropolis. Vassiliki, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Acropolis means “high city” and it usually refers to any settlement built on top of a hill. You'll find many towns in Greece that have an acropolis, but the Acropolis of Athens is certainly the most famous.'You'll start with a guided tour of the Acropolis – with skip-the-line tickets, there'll be no waiting around. Soak up wow-factor views over Athens at the Areopagus – a rocky hill where legend has it the Greek gods would hold court. Let your guide bring history to life as you marvel at ancient landmarks like the Roman Agora, the Theatre of Dionysus and the still-standing columns of the Asklepieion and Parthenon. Then, it's on to the city's Instagram-worthy old quarter, Plaka – the capital's most appealing and historic neighbourhood. Always thronged with a mix of locals and visitors, the pedestrianised lanes are brimming with tavernas whose tables spill onto the streets. Vassiliki says, ‘Athenians call this area “the neighbourhood of the Gods,' as it has been inhabited since the days of ancient Greece. In fact, excavations show that the street layout has barely changed since antiquity.'
