“I was very grateful to skip the line on a rainy day when everyone was seeking shelter indoors. A very cool and focused museum showing the ancient art in its context in and around the Acropolis. I was jealous of people with tour guides. This isn’t an easy museum to explore self-guided.”

“You can’t come to Athens and not go to the Acropolis. Buy your ticket before hand, get up there by 7.30am, wait the half hour until the gates are opened. After 9am it is completely and utterly packed. At least at 8am you have some space and can enjoy the area without being completely sardined with tours and guides.”
Meet at the Acropolis Metro Station for a two-hour guided climb through the Parthenon, Propylaea, Erechtheion, and Temple of Athena Nike. Guides such as Lisa, Vicki, Eva, and Maria bring Greek myths and history to life, while headsets help you follow clearly in crowded spots.

“The museum is amazing and should be the first stop before you visit Acropolis - Parthenon. Overall design of the museum is very nicely design. The e-tickets were emailed to us a few days before our booked slot, which allows us direct access to the museum. This saves time for not rushing with the crowd at the ticketing queue on top of cheaper pricing. Thanks.”
Join an official Spanish-speaking guide, such as Efi or Simon, for a two-hour walk from the Theatre of Dionysus to the Parthenon and Erechtheion. Early entry, headphones, and an optional entrance ticket help you focus on the monuments, myths, and 360-degree views.

“One of the best museums I would have been, I would of like to have seem more statues of the gods, since this region has such history regarding their gods.”

The tour includes transport, tickets, dinner, breakfast, Wi-Fi, and a 3- or 4-star hotel in Kalambaka. Guides vary, with names including Stephanie, Evie, Xenia, and Avros.
“There is no doubt that Delphi and Meteora are amazing destinations with great history and fantastic vistas. It is a long way from Athens and this mass-tourist experience is fair way of seeing them at a reasonable price. Our guide for the Meteora was great.”
Enter the Acropolis and Parthenon at a reserved time, then explore at your own pace. See the Erechtheion, Temple of Athena Nike, Theater of Dionysus, and Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Add smartphone audio tours for the Acropolis and Plaka, but download everything before arrival.
“The Acropolis & Parthenon are fabulous! Initially the Viator website was a bit confusing regarding how you download the tickets (other reviewers has said this too). We downloaded and printed them out before travelling. In my opinion the cost of pre-booking the ticket with audio tour is a bit high when compared to the actual entry ticket price. That said, when we got there we saw that the queue for the ticket office was very long and so I definitely recommend purchasing tickets in advance. We didn't find the audio guide that helpful but perhaps that was just us. The overall experience was fantastic though.”
Ride from Athens along the Athenian Riviera to Cape Sounion, then spend about an hour at the Temple of Poseidon with an English-speaking guide. Air-conditioned transport, admission, and selected hotel pickup are included. French commentary is offered only on Mondays and Fridays.
“I had trouble reserving online since the site changed my email and I inserted all the payment info but couldn’t get a confirmation. I wanted to speak or chat with a customer service but that was impossible. I retried making the reservation on the next day with higher prices & I was able to do so. it was initially 39.89 euros for the 2 of us for half day pm tour but it got jacked up to $ 155 for the same tour the next day.”
Pick a hill, a market or a coast road.
