Overview of your Athens tour

One of my best selling tours. The best way to discover all monuments of Athens and learn about the history of the city that I love. In this tour I am going to show you the Acropolis with the Parthenon and all the masterpieces of the 5th century BC and the Acropolis museum. From the top of the Acropolis Hill we'll have views of the Temple of Zeus, once the biggest temple in the city with Hadrian's Arch, the Old Olympic Stadium, the Ancient Greek theatre of Dionysos and the Ancient Agora. The visit of the Acropolis Museum is an amazing experience. Voted as one of the best museums in the world, with wonderful statues and sculptures that once decorated the Acropolis temples. Visiting the museum is like a stroll around Ancient Athens! What my guests enjoy most in this tour is seeing the Parthenon, the symbol of the city, hearing myths of the Ancient Greek Gods and learning the stories behind these amazing temples.

This tour, and Ioanna, were excellent. She knew everything about the Acropolis and the museum and planned out a great itinerary for us. She was accommodating to our requests and built in breaks when we wanted. We were a group with ages from 23 to 53 and all of us loved the afternoon with Ioanna. It was a highlight of our trip and we look forward to doing more tours with her in the future.

This was a great tour of the Acropolis and the Museum attached to the Acropolis. Johanna knew all of the in’s and out’s to navigate us around the crowds and yet see all of the amazing sites. Her knowledge provided me with a better understanding of the structure, history and architecture of the Acropolis. I would recommend booking a tour with her.

Ioanna knows her stuff. She was able to answer any question we had and did a great job weaving the stories of the city into an engaging narrative as we walked through the city. Her experience of 20+ years in the field stands out. We would go to her directly for any future trips to Athens. (2 adults, 4 teenagers)

We had a wonderful half day tour in Athens of the Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis. Ioanna was a thoughtful, insightful, and knowledgeable guide, telling us much history and interesting facts within the museum and about the Parthenon. She brought things to life, I encourage you to ask many questions, as she has a knowledge base well beyond the basics. And also an enjoyable and easy personality!
