  • Υou need to pay cash for your admission ticket at our check-in location just before the tour. We've secured tickets for your specified time. Opting for an independent ticket purchase (discouraged) requires 24-hour advance notice at info@athenswalkingtours.gr. Failing that, you will have to pay also the tickets we buy for you at the meeting point. Please be cautious when acquiring your ticket yourself, as selecting an incorrect date, time, or guest type may result in a non-refundable tour fee. Strict Acropolis entry times mean we can't wait for latecomers. No refunds will be given. All visitors undergo airport-style security; expect peak season waits up to 30+ minutes. Not suitable for mobility impairments, wheelchairs, or strollers. Cutoff times sync with Athens local time. Tours run rain or shine. Accurately select EU or NON-EU citizenship during booking.
