Description

See one of the world’s most visited landmarks without the crowds on this small group, skip-the-line tour of the Acropolis and New Acropolis Museum. Be among the first people of the day to see the Parthenon on a morning tour, or after all the large tour groups have left on an evening tour. If you choose the morning tour, your skip-the-line ticket lets you be among the first through the gates of the Acropolis. While other groups stop at the temples and monuments on the way up the hill, you’ll head straight to the main event for an intimate encounter with one of the greatest buildings in history. Learn some of its secrets, take in stunning views of the city, and enjoy a full tour of the Acropolis highlights, like the Erechtheon, Monumental Gateway, Temple of Athena Nike and the Theater of Dionysus. Then, head down the hill to the New Acropolis Museum where you’ll again skip the ticket line and enjoy a tour of the highlights of the collection, including the Caryatids and the Parthenon Marbles. The morning tour ends in the museum, so you can spend more time exploring the collection. If you choose the evening tour, you'll begin with a guided visit with your expert guide at the New Acropolis Museum. From there, walk to the Acropolis and arrive at the Parthenon after the crowds have left and the sun begins to set on Athens. The full tour of the Acropolis continues and concludes at the Theater of Dionysus, the oldest theater in the world.
