City Tour + Acropolis & the Museum

  • 1,286 reviews | 11,563 travellers
    Magdalena is spectacular! This tour is a must if you are passionate about history. It's like having a Greek history class for yourself, it makes you experience the climb to the Acropolis in a different way and you end up dazzled and in love with Greece. Magdalena is a charm, always willing to share her knowledge. If you have to choose a tour, this is definitely it. A recommendation, take the climb to the Acropolis with the entrance to the museum, it is worth it and it is the complete experience. Thank you so much!

Description

Hop on an air-conditioned bus and set off on a panoramic sightseeing tour by bus of the most important monuments of Athens.

The bus will drive past beautiful buildings and squares, including Syntagma Square, the National Garden, the Arch of Hadrian, St Pauls Anglican Church, the Parliament House, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Cathedral Basilica of St. Dionysius, the University of Athens, the Academy of Athens and the National Library.

After stopping briefly at the Panathenaic Stadium, you'll continue the tour past Zappeion and the Temple of Olympian Zeus.

Next, you'll hop off the bus and embark on a guided tour of the world-famous Acropolis, a symbol of Athens. Once inside, you’ll visit the beautiful monuments of Ancient Greece, including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Temple of Athena Nike and the Propylaea, before having around 30 minutes of free time to explore at your own pace.
