This tour gives you an opportunity to observe the striking contrasts that make Athens such a fascinating city. Our expert guides will take you to see the Panathenaic Stadium where the first Olympic Games of modern times were held in 1896 (short stop).

On the Acropolis visit the Architectural Masterpieces of the Golden Age of Athens: The Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and finally "the harmony between material and spirit", the monument that "puts order in the mind", the Parthenon.

    The tour guide was absolutely fantastic!!! She was so knowledgeable and had some many interesting stories and facts. She was incredibly kind and personable. The tour showed a good amount of essential Athens landmarks. We really enjoyed it, but by far the best part was the tour guide.
