Itinerary
Your tour begins at the South Slopes entrance of the Acropolis, from where you’ll set out to experience the archaeological site of the theatre of Dionysus. Listen to the stories of the playful God of Wine and learn about the birth of ancient Greek tragedy before you continue to explore the relics of the Asclepieion, where you’ll discover how the pilgrims seeking spiritual and physical healing paid their respects to the God of Medicine
On the north side of the hill, opposite the Parthenon, the peculiar temple of the Erechtheion, was home to many divine ancestors, including a snake that enjoyed eating honey cakes. Discover the spot where Athena contested the patronage of Athens with Poseidon and listen to the legends about the first king’s mythic origins.
The Parthenon is the perfect embodiment of the aesthetics and ideals of classical Athens. Listen to the stories about the great minds who envisioned and constructed the temple and learn about the optical illusions that brilliantly fiddle with the viewer’s perception

Great experience with Nikoleta and the beautiful city of Athens. DON’T EST BEFORE THE TOUR! We learned so much about the culture and ate SO MANY local dishes. Can’t recommend this tour any more!
Hello, Thank you for your kind words! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had the chance to discover the local culture and cuisine. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! Best , Lina
We’ve taken audio-guided tours before, but this one didn’t meet our expectations. We eventually had to stop listening in order to enjoy our time, as it was often unclear which monument the guide was referring to.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback 🙏 We’re sorry the audio guide didn’t meet your expectations. Your input is very helpful for us to improve future tours 🌟 Best, Jo
Clio Muse let me pick my entry time for Acropolis Hill. Then let you download your tickets the night before your tour. Then you'll find out that your entry time is NOT what you selected. It's a SCAM and you trip is RUINED, and you will waste more time trying to savage your day. Good luck with your complaint and trying to get a refund. Please DON'T buy anything from Clio Muse or you'll regret.

"Headout" "Keytours" misleading information on Audio part of tour. Thus site pops up 1st with every search BUT is not the official Acropolis tour site. Audio information lacking.
Greetings from Clio Muse Tours! Thank you for your review, but I think your review is for another tour provider. We are Clio Muse Tours, selling self-guided audio tours combined with tickets. However please contact us at support@cliomusetours.com and provide your booking reference to make sure that you didn't book with us. We hope you allow us to guide you on your next travels! Kind regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.
Went to Athens during Christmas holidays with a couple friends. I came across Clio Muse Tours and we downloaded the city tour guide. I would highly recommend it as a great way to navigate through the historic parts of Athens and see some of the most interesting monuments of Greece. I think it is very enjoyable and easy to follow, it's a nice addition to your trip. I'd love if it also had some food recommendations along the way.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the food recommendations! We will consider it to improve the experiences we offer! Hope to see you again on your next travel adventures!

Customer service is a catastrophe. The fees are booked immediately, but we were notified of the time of the visit and the tickets were issued just 30 minutes before the visit. Our two tickets were for different time slots. Audio guide didn’t have any more information than our guide book. A complete waste! And a frustrating complete lack of customer support.
We had great instructions prior to our experience to download the app and the audio tour. The skip the line tickets were great since there was a long line to buy tickets. We arrived at our scheduled time and went right into the Acropolis. Make sure to charge your phone and headphones before you go. Also if you are on a cruise ship there are several "Hop on Hop Off" Buses at the cruise port that you can use to get to downtown Athens. At the time we paid 20 euros each. A taxi was 25 euros each way. We saved 10 euros and got the extra hop on hop off tour.
Dear Bruce, It's great to hear you enjoyed your experience using our app! Thank you for the tips to fellow travelers, they are useful! We hope to see you again on your next travel adventure! Best, Angeliki, Product Dept.
Other people recommended this but it just wasn’t for us, I guess. I couldn’t get into it. I bought for 4 devices and we all gave up.
Dear traveler, we are very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with us. If you feel you have a right to a refund, please contact the Viator support team and elaborate more. You may also contact us at support@cliomusetours.com to discuss this further and find a solution, as long as you did not enjoy the audio tours. Apologies once again for the inconvenience caused to you. Best regards, Clio Muse Tours
Plenty of information during the audio tour. You have to download an app called Clio Muse yours. As it was peak season when we went it was useful to buy the tickets in advance as the booking office at the entrance seemed closed although their sign did say it was cheaper.
Greetings from Clio Muse Tours! We are delighted that you found our audio tour informative and that having your tickets accessible on your phone saved you time. Let us clarify that the price variance you noticed could be attributed to the comprehensive nature of your purchased product. In addition to the tickets, it included two audio tours, thus offering an added dimension to your visit. We await the opportunity to welcome you back on your next travel adventure. Warm regards, Angeliki Product Department.
Good choice, has 2 tours for my phone with the ticket to Acropolis. A bit hot but totally worth it, nice app.
Greetings from Clio Muse Tours, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you found our Acropolis tours a good choice, with the convenience of having two tours on your phone along with the ticket.
