Private Acropolis and Acropolis Museum Tour

Meet our guide at 7 Makrigianni Street, next to the "Akrololi" Metro station and the New Acropolis Museum.

This point is ideal for an overview of the tour and is near the entrance to the Acropolis.

Over the next 90 minutes, tour the Acropolis.

After a short walk down through some olive trees, we will come to the main entrance of the Acropolis Museum. We will spend around 90 minutes touring the various exhibits, where the ancient stories, history, and mythology will be brought to life before you.

Finally, we will return you to the meeting point close by, or you can spend more time enjoying the museum, which has a lovely shop and cafe restaurant.

What to bring

Know before you go

• We will agree on a convenient starting time for you after booking.

• In particular, the later hours are also better because the lower light helps produce the honey colour of the temples' marble structure and is most beautiful during this time.
