Afternoon Acropolis and Museum Guided Tour
Overview
Come on a 4-hour tour to Athens' most important spot and step back in time! A friendly English-speaking guide, an expert with a license, will lead you through a journey of history and mythology at the UNESCO-listed Acropolis. Visit the Acropolis Museum, among the world's best, and be amazed by original masterpieces, brightly lit by natural sunlight. Check out ancient wonders through glass floors during excavations.
