Important Details
Good to know:
ID Requirement: A valid passport or ID document is necessary for utilizing the skip-the-line tickets for the Acropolis and Ancient Agora.
Accessibility: The tour is designed to minimize walking. However, archaeological sites like the Acropolis have uneven terrain. An elevator is available at the Acropolis for wheelchairs (and 1 escort), people with diminished abilities, and parents with two or more infants. Note that the elevator cannot be pre-arranged, is located 350 m from the main entrance, and is unavailable during extreme weather.
Children/Car Seat Note: Kids are welcome, but a ticket is required for all passengers, as all must occupy a seat for safety reasons. If a car seat is needed, please contact us in advance.
Dress Code: Modest attire is recommended for visits to religious sites and the Ancient Agora.
Tour Changes: As this is a fully private experience, the itinerary can be tailored to your preferences within the time available, keeping in mind traffic and the schedule.
Guide Note: Only a professional private driver is included. Drivers have extensive historical knowledge but are not licensed to enter the sites with you. A licensed guide is available upon request and advance booking.

George was amazing. Took us around at our pace and made sure we saw everything despite a strike happening that caused some challenges. If you want to experience all to see in Athens in one day this is a fantastic way to do so. Very enjoyable day. Best weather warm but not cold.
