Meet your guide outside the Acropolis metro station in the early morning and walk the short distance to the Acropolis. After picking up your tickets, head inside to explore the hilltop archaeological site.
Listen as your guide transports you back to ancient Greece with stories of the ancient city and its importance. Stop to admire the magnificent ruins, most of which date back to the 5th-century BC, including the much-photographed Parthenon, the restored Temple of Athena Nike, and the Erechtheion, known for its exquisite Caryatid statues.
After exploring the ruins, head to the Acropolis Museum to see even more artifacts that highlight the history of ancient Greece.
If you'd like, upgrade your tour to include the ancient Agora, once the epicenter of ancient Athens. Visit monuments such as the beautifully preserved Temple of Hephaestus and the renovated Stoa of Attalos on this guided tour.
Your tour ends in Monastiraki Square in central Athens.
