Highlights
  • Acropolis - Explore the most emblematic monument in all of Greece listed by UNESCO, with an expert and official guide exclusively in Spanish.
    The visit begins with the historical, mythological and cultural context of this wonderful space.
  • Parthenon - We will visit the famous Parthenon listed by UNESCO as one of the most important buildings of antiquity for its perfection and harmony. Built 2,500 years ago, we will discover its optical refinements and all its legends.

We will explain the history of its construction and the phases by which it became a church during the Byzantine period and a mosque during the Ottoman occupation.

We will learn about its decoration and looting up to the restoration work in force.

  • Propylaia - Monumental entrance built entirely of marble to impress the pilgrim of the time and the tourist today.
    Due to its strategic position, the Propylaea functioned as a funnel in times of war thanks to its impressive topography.
    Discover why it was built with different types of columns. Essential point in the history of the Acropolis.

  • Temple of Athena Nike - A true architectural jewel built on the monumental entrance in honor of the goddess Athena Victorious. A work carried out by the Athenians just after the victories obtained against the Persians, it achieves its goal to this day: To remember from generation to generation the most culminating moment of all Greece, the golden age.

  • Erechtheion - It is without a doubt the most photogenic monument in the entire Acropolis thanks to its marvelous female-shaped columns, the Caryatids.
    Built right next to the Parthenon, it was consecrated to various divinities including: Athena, Poseidon and Erectios, the latter for being the first mythological king of Athens.
    Discover its legends and peculiarities. Why is your olive tree so sacred?

  • Herod Atticus Odeon - We will visit the famous Herod the Attic Auditorium with a capacity of 5,000 spectators built by one of the most renowned Roman governors in Athens. Dedicated to his wife Regina, it is today the only fully restored ancient building in use.
    It is here that the most outstanding performances take place every year during the famous festival of Athens.

  • The Temple of Asclepios - Temple dedicated to the god of medicine Asclepius.
    Right in this space we will learn how the ancient Athenians cured patients and the types of votive offerings they gave as thanks.

  • Theatre of Dionysus - One of the oldest theaters in the world built entirely of marble.
    With an incredible capacity of 17,000 spectators, its chosen space on the slope of the Acropolis itself managed to guarantee the maximum desired acoustics.

Unbeatable!!! - Super recommended experience!!! The tour was dynamic and very interesting thanks to Efi, our guide. Efi is a 20 out of 10!!! You can tell he loves his work and Greek culture. He manages to convey that passion in each of his explanations, always didactic and very visual to enter into context. I knew where to stop at every moment, I gave you thousands of details, I was watching the group... Thanks also to Meritxell and Top Tours Greece. The treatment and service are spectacular: fast communication via whatsapp, reminder messages, live location... They also helped us with tickets. UNBEATABLE EXPERIENCE. We would repeat tomorrow! If you want to visit the Acropolis and get it right, this is your place.

Essential experience for those visiting the acropoles of Athens - Expectacular service and the Efi guide was unparalleled. Since before booking they explained how serious it was they sent me all the indications by w up with a continuous communication. The day before they sent me a reminder wup and the same day a wup with the meeting position. The Efi guide was simply spectacular very good the explanation paused with time to enjoy and take photos and with a lot of knowledge and passion for what it does.

Amazing tour - We traveled as a family with two children, our Guide, Efi, with an amazing knowledge of history, made the tour incredibly interesting and dynamic, enjoying every point, and taking advantage of the shadows to tell us the story. The tour super well organized. It is worth going first thing to avoid queues and heat. I was sorry not to have taken advantage of a more complete tour. Super recommended!
