The private tour connects the ancient and modern symbols of the city and the ancient agora with the modern commercial districts of Athens. The private tour in Athens starts from the Acropolis, which is inevitably the most intriguing site in Athens. Its great advantage is that it combines the tour with a visit to the Museum of Acropolis, which gives you an overview of the monument and its remains.

The Sacred Rock of the Acropolis is the highlight of the ancient Athenian architectural style and has become the trademark of the city of Athens since the 5th century BC. When visiting the Acropolis and its Parthenon you will see the Propylaea, the temple of Athens Niki,  and the Erectheum with the Caryatids, and you will find yourself up the Sacred Hill, where you can also admire the city of Athens at its whole.

The Rock of the Acropolis will offer you a panoramic view of the city that stretches from the northern mountains to the south shores of the sea and the port of Piraeus. After the Acropolis, your private tour will continue to Plaka, which is one of the most colorful and picturesque neighborhoods of the city, known for its lovely coffee shops and the amazing tourist shops where you can buy your memorabilia and souvenirs to bring back home.
