Ancient Athens Uncovered: Skip-the-Line New Acropolis Museum tour & Ancient Olympic Stadium

IMPORTANT NOTE: From July 21st, all Athens sites we visit will require clients and guides alike to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test completed within 48 hours prior to entry. They will also require a legal form of ID matching the vaccination or test results. You can read more about it here.

Your Athens Guided Tour starts with skip-the-line tickets into the New Acropolis Museum, which holds all the wonders that once adorned the Acropolis. Inside, your guide will show you and your small group a carefully-selected collection of the most treasured artifacts, including the Caryatids, monumental statues of women that once supported the entablature of an ancient temple and the Parthenon Marbles. All of our guides are experts in Greek art and archeology, so be sure to ask lots of questions; they want you to leave with a deeper understanding and appreciation for what you see.

After you leave the museum, your Athens Tour passes the Arch of Hadrian, one of the city’s most iconic monuments, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Next, it’s on to the Panathenaic Stadium, home to the first modern Olympic Games. Skipping the entrance lines, your guide will take you through the marble halls and stands of this 2,300-year-old wonder and down onto the track. This is hallowed ground for sports fans; a must-do for anyone who wants to walk in the footsteps of over 2,000 years of athletic tradition.

Your Athens Guided Tour ends inside the stadium so you can spend more time exploring the ancient structure on your own.
