This tour will reveal you in a fascinating way the achievements of the Ancient Athenians thanks to our highly qualified guides. The tour is conducted late in the afternoon when both the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum are much less busy than in the morning. Moreover, the tour is concluded at the top of the Acropolis in the evening, when it is cooler and the sun has already started setting. Finally, our groups are really small, as their maximum capacity can be only 15 persons.

Acropolis Museum, Athens, Greece Meet your expert guide and together walk to the Acropolis Museum. Before entering the museum, you will have a look at the remains of an ancient neighborhood of Athens that lie underneath. In the museum first you will see the models of the Acropolis and ancient Athens and then important finds from the slopes of the Acropolis. Proceed to the first floor to stand in awe before the sculptures of the first Parthenon, built in the 6th century B.C. Observe the traces of colors that still can be discerned on them. Next, admire the archaic statues that once upon a time decorated the top of the Acropolis. Among them the famous “calfbearer” and the “child of Kritias”. The renowned maidens of the Acropolis (the Caryatids), which decorated the Erectheion, will introduce you to the golden age of the Greek sculpture (5th century B.C). Lastly, your guide will take you to the third floor, the Parthenon’s Gallery. There, he will explain to you the main concept and the arrangement of the third floor, he will tell you all the myths related to what you see and of course you will admire the excellence and unique beauty of the Parthenon sculptures. 90 minutes

Nicholas was very informative and patient as we walked thru and had so many questions. We were amazed that we asked for a restaurant suggestion and he walked us there and got us a table. Above and beyond
