Description

This activity combines a panoramic bus tour of Athens with a guided visit of the Acropolis and its Museum—ideal for discovering the capital of Greece!

Activity Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at 26 Athanasiou Diakou Street for a panoramic tour of the centre of Athens.

Along the bus route, we'll pass Syntagma Square, the National Garden, Hadrian's Arch, St. Paul's Church, the House of Parliament, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Catholic Cathedral, the University of Athens, the Academy of Athens, the National Library, the Panathenaic Stadium, the Zappeion and the Temple of Olympian Zeus.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to the Acropolis, the symbol of Athens. Once inside, we'll have the opportunity to see many of the most famous monuments of Classical Greece: the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Temple of Athena Nike and the Propylaea. After the tour, we'll have about 30 minutes of free time.

Coming down from the ‘Upper City’, we'll make our last stop at the Acropolis Museum, the most important museum of the city. Here, we'll guide you through its most important works, explaining their significance.

Finally, after a tour of about 5 hours, we'll conclude this activity in the Acropolis area.

La guia fenomenal, gran dominio del tema y muy agradable, todo en la excursion estuvo excelente, pero desde mi punto de vista el tour inicial en autobus no merece tanto la pena como el resto...ya que es muy superficial. No soy fan de los tour panoramicos desde el autocar, salvo que no puedas caminar o algo similar. Atenas es muy asequible caminando. La Acropolis espectacular, imprecindible total y el museo muy interesante y agradable aunque desde mi punto de vista le falta recreacion 3D Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was phenomenal, extremely knowledgeable about the subject and very pleasant. Everything about the excursion was excellent, but in my opinion, the initial bus tour isn't as worthwhile as the rest... as it's very superficial. I'm not a fan of panoramic bus tours, unless you can't walk or something similar. Athens is very accessible on foot. The Acropolis is spectacular, a must-see, and the museum is very interesting and enjoyable, although in my opinion, it lacks 3D recreation. Opinion translated. Show original.

La coordinación excelente. La guía posee un nivel de conocimiento superlativo. Sugiero en el tour por la ciudad cada vez que se pase por un lugar de interés, hacer una parada de 5 minutos para poder tomar una foto... Por lo demás, todo está bien. Translate this opinion into English.

The coordination was excellent. The guide has a superlative level of knowledge. I suggest stopping for a five-minute photo stop every time you pass by a landmark on the city tour. Otherwise, everything was fine. Opinion translated. Show original.

Athens + Acropolis and Museum Tour A bit chaotic at the beginning of the meeting place “Ley tours” Every time we asked at the counter about our excursion they made us wait, without anything else.
