The Acropolis of Athens is the ancient fortified hill in Athens that contains many historically significant buildings, while the Parthenon is the most famous temple located on the Acropolis. Built in the 5th century BCE as a dedication to the goddess Athena, the Parthenon symbolizes the power and culture of ancient Greece, using the Classical Doric architectural style
The New Acropolis Museum ( All Ancient History in one place )
The Panathenaic Stadium, also called Kallimarmaro (Beautiful Marble), is a historic stadium in Athens, Greece, and the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble. Originally constructed around 330 BCE for the Panathenaic Games, it was renovated and expanded in the late 19th century to host the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.
Lycabettus Hill is the second highest viewpoint in Athens, named by various legends involving wolves or the goddess Athena, and offering panoramic city views.
The old Palace of King Otto. Now days the Hellenic Parliament
The term "changing of the guard" refers to a formal, choreographed ceremony where new soldiers relieve others performing ceremonial guard duties at important sites like palaces and monuments. These ceremonies have historical military origins in peacetime drills and often involve soldiers in elaborate traditional uniforms

Fabulous, easy, and informative tour. Michael offers a wealth of Greek history and navigated the streets of Athens like he grew up here (he did:). We saw all of the key landmarks and a few new ones we hope to return to. Don’t skip the Acropolis Museum. The archeological part of the site is fascinating and worth the price of admission even if you are short on time. Michael’s relaxed, flexible, and joyful personality made this day so much more enjoyable. His knowledge of the area and its history is remarkable and so fun. Book this trip, you will not regret it.

We had only one full day in Athens before departing and selected the half day Athens tour and paid just few Euros more for the larger vehicle and it was so worth it. Visibility to key attractions that were pointed out by our driver/guide Dimitris we could easily see. We saw and visited so many sites and made so many memories. We have used Viator many times and have never had a less than outstanding experience. Always so informed of the area, friendly and professional. Half day Athens was perfect.

George was a great tour guide. Though this is quite expensive it really was worth having someone take care of the tickets ahead of time so we could skip the lines and who knew exactly where to go and where to drop us off. We only had two days in Athens but I feel like George gave us a fantastic summary of the whole city

A great way to see the city. Mike was our driver, he picked us up and dropped us off at all of the sites. We were able to roam freely since we weren’t part of a big tour group. Highly recommend!

On a Norwegian Mediterranean cruise, our port stop at Malta was cancelled due to bad weather and we were rerouted to Athens. We were able to book last minute through Viator this half day private tour. The weather was raining but our driver was able to take us the main sites, Acropolis Museum, Temple of Zeus, Hardian's Arch. Van was very comfortable and spacious. Would recommend.
