Guided tour of the Acropolis Licensed guideImportant Information
- This tour requires walking uphill and on uneven surfaces. Tickets to the site must be purchased beforehand. Regular tickets can be purchased online but all free or discounted tickets can only be purchased in person at the ticket office. Even if you benefit from free admission, it is necessary to have the physical ticket that is only given at the ticket office. If you do the tour at 8:15, we recommend being in the ticket office area of the south entrance around 7:45 a.m. so that when they open to the public (at 8:00 a.m.) you can get them quickly before having a longer queue. Once the tickets are given to you, you must go to the meeting point, which is less than a 2-minute walk from the ticket office. Ticket office location: https://goo.gl/maps/2NrUQSAh2ww5XZxG6 Meeting point location: https://goo.gl/maps/84CxmmK2pvrSsRrU9 If you have discount or free entrance, we recomend you do the tours at 8:15 or 17:00 (depends on availability) because ticket office will be less crowded.
