Itinerary

Explore the history of Athens on a walking tour with a licensed guide. Start at the city's most monumental site, the iconic Acropolis. Admire the astonishing collection of sculptures that describe more than 2,500 years of history, from the glorious first theater of humanity at the Theatre of Dionysus to the healing Temple of Asclepius, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. See the Temple of Athena Nike (Temple of Wingless Victory), the gateway of the Propylaea, the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion, and the crowning glory of the Parthenon. Your licensed guide will explain the roles the various monuments played at the center of classical civilization in the western hemisphere.

It was so fascinating to see the sites and learn the stories behind them.

The tour itself was normal. The only problem is that the guide, whose name is María, and who was specially hired for the Spanish language, despite having knowledge of the subject, did not control the (Read More)Spanish language. He always included Italian words in all his comments. He did not speak the language enough to offer a guided tour of the acropolis, with the technical language that entails. It has been uncomfortable to pay €400 and have a frustrating experience. They must control the guide's profile more.
