Athens: Acropolis & up to 5 Archaeological Sites Combo Pass - Time Slots: The Part That Can Make or Break Your Plan

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 12,619 reviews · from $48Our pick

Timed Acropolis access plus up to 5 top archaeology sites in Athens, with audio guides, app-based planning, and 3-day flexibility.

“Excellent! Having the combined ticket really encourages you to go around and see all of the sites rather than try to figure out for yourself what to go and see. Our guide Joanna at the Acropolis was amazing- gave us real insight into Athenian/Greek culture from the time of the Acropolis, and how it still works within culture today. Great value for money leaves you feeling you’ve seen everything you would want to. Our personal highlights were the Acropolis guided tour, and the Ancient Agora”

“We are so glad we booked this tour. I debated if taking the metro to the starting point was worth it but it totally was! We avoided so much traffic and got on the road right away missing traffic. It was very easy to get to and super easy to find once off the train! Our guide was great… the views were great. We had to pay about €20 I think to enter the temple but it wasn’t required if you didn’t want to enter the park. The ride home was in the dark and we hit a ton of traffic but that’s Athena! I really enjoyed the tour and…”

Walk the Acropolis with an archaeologist guide, see the Parthenon and key hilltop sites, then learn even more at the New Acropolis Museum.

“We had a great time walking up to the Acropolis hill with our guide, George. He provided us a lot of good background as we ascended the hill, passing the theater and ancient hospital ruins. He showed us the Parthenon and Erechtheion atop the hill, and told us who built them and why. George provided the history after construction that led to their current appearance, before leading us back down to the Acropolis Museum for a short tour. An amazing site, with so much to take in, was made even better by George’s knowledge and passion for Athens history and culture. Thank you!”
