The Sacred Rock of the Acropolis—most important site of your visit in Greece, with the iconic Parthenon, Temple of Athena, overlooking the vast capital. We will drive you to the bottom of the sacred rock where you will walk up to the Acropolis, enter through the Propylea gates with the Temple of Athena Nike, to then stand before the iconic Parthenon temple and the Erectheion temple with the famous Caryatid statues. We will pick you up at the same spot we dropped you off.

One of the finest museums in the world and a building of architectural sophistication, the New Museum of the Acropolis will complete the picture of the sacred rock. It’s a theme museum about findings on the Acropolis and the sculptures of the Parthenon temple. Also built over ancient ruins of an Athenian neighborhood through which you can actually walk, your immersion could not be more direct!
Grandest temple of Ancient Greece, dedicated to the King of the Olympian Gods, gaze up to the Acropolis from the pillars of Zeus to feel like you are wandering in the ancient city of Athens.

Our Athens tour with Dimitri was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and hidden gems. We were able to explore all the major highlights comfortably and at our own pace, without feeling rushed. The vehicle was spotless and very comfortable, making the experience even more enjoyable. What truly made the tour special was the warm hospitality and local insights we received throughout the day. From the fabulous lunch stop he took us to by the sea, along the websites he sent us for our continued stay was much appreciated! Highly recommended for anyone wanting a relaxed, informative, and unforgettable way to experience Athens!
Dmitri is THE BEST! We spent two days with him and his knowledge, professionalism and care of his clients is incredible! We saw the best of Athens and the beautiful Greece coastline with a private tour and he also provided us with airport transportation and a fabulous dinner reservation! I highly recommend Dmitri when visiting Athens… you will be delighted with this wonderful person’s care and experience!
Dem was a world of knowledge about the sites we visited. Very impressed with his knowledge of the history of all the landmarks. We would highly recommend this private tour! Jim and Missy
