Tour Details
Taste the vital flavors of Athens while enjoying guided tours of the Acropolis and the National Archeological Museum. The Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the most striking and complete ancient Greek complex dating back to the 5th century BCE. The monument was built celebrating the cultural and political achievements of Athens and is the most famous site in all of Athens.
The National Archeological Museum is home to the world's most exquisite collection of Greek antiquities found in any single location. Here you will witness the art of Greeks emphasizing rational thinking centered around the individual human; the foundation of democracy.
If the Acropolis and National Archeological Museum weren't enough, proceed to the district of Plaka, the oldest neighborhood in Athens. Here an authentic Greek meal will be prepared and served for your enjoyment. After your lunch, enjoy time at your leisure in Plaka, the historic heart of town. As you walk the narrow paved streets, you'll discover Neoclassical mansions, quaint cafes, and the retail hub of Monastiraki Flea Market. A tour of this magnitude provides a rich sense of ancient Athenian culture and deliciousness.
Included in the cost of the tour are round trip transportation from the port to the Acropolis, National Archeological Museum, and Plaka along with entrance fees to the historic sites, and lunch. Expenses including snacks, shopping, and other leisurely activities at Plaka are not included in the price of the tour.
