We offer different options for our tours. If you choose the ‘entry tickets included’ option, the entrance fees to the Acropolis, Museum, and other sites will be covered in your tour price. However, if you select the ‘without entry tickets included’ option, your booking will not include these entry tickets, and you will need to purchase them separately.

If you have any doubts or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team for more information. We’re here to help ensure your experience is seamless and enjoyable.

You can get around by taxi (see Useful Info for useful apps) or by Metro. The Piraeus Metro station is located approximately 27 minutes on foot from the cruise terminal exactly opposite port’s Gate E6. If you would rather not walk, you can take a bus (it costs 1.2 euro per person and is valid for 90 minutes). You can take bus no. 843 or 859 from the cruise port (starting point) to the metro station. The ride should take approximately 10 minutes.

Then you will take the Metro (blue line) to Syntagma (20 minutes).

At Syntagma, you change to the red line (direction Elliniko) for one more stop (1 minute) to Acropolis.

Outside the Acropolis Metro Station (exit for Makriyianni/Dionysiou Areopaghitou), just opposite the Crescendo Cafe your guide will be standing next to the Metro sign, on the Makrigianni pedestrian walkway, holding a white and light blue ‘Athenian Tours’ sign.

Parking near the Acropolis in Athens can be tough due to limited street spaces.

We recommend booking your tour in advance to ensure availability. However, based on availability of both the tour and entry tickets, we do accept last-minute bookings up to 1 hour before the tour start time.

Please note that it’s crucial to arrive on time as the group must leave promptly, and most entry tickets are valid for a specific date and time slot.

If delays are unavoidable, contact us immediately. We may be able to suggest a solution or make alternative arrangements to help you.

Gratuities are not included in the tour price. While they are always appreciated, they are entirely optional and not expected.

You can have a small backpack with you given that:

a) You can carry it during the tour
b) When you enter Acropolis Museum, all visitors are requested to leave backpacks and other bulky items at the Museum cloakroom. The Museum is not responsible for fragile or valuable objects left in the cloakroom.

Please note that we currently don’t offer luggage storage services.

There is no formal dress code for visiting the Acropolis of Athens, but it’s recommended to wear comfortable, modest clothing. Choose lightweight and breathable fabrics due to the heat, and wear sturdy shoes as the ground can be uneven and slippery. A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are also suggested to protect yourself from the sun. While there’s no strict requirement, it’s respectful to avoid overly revealing clothing.
