This 2-hour walking tour covers the Acropolis in Athens with an official guide speaking Spanish. The guide provides historical, social, architectural, and cultural background on ancient Athens as you explore the UNESCO-listed site. The tour covers all main monuments inside the Acropolis, including the Parthenon, Propylaea, Erechtheion, Caryatids Porch, Herod Atticus Odeon, Temple of Asclepios, and the ancient theater. An optional entrance ticket to the Acropolis can be included depending on your selection. The entire visit is on foot, and a wireless audio system is provided so you can hear the guide clearly. State taxes are included, but transfers and personal expenses are not. The visit begins at the Acropolis itself with an overview of its historical and mythological significance. You then spend about 20 minutes at the Parthenon, learning about its 2,500-year-old construction, architectural refinements, and its history as a church and mosque. The Propylaea, the marble monumental entrance, is explained next, focusing on its defensive role and column styles. The Erechtheion, built after victories over the Persians, is described as a commemorative monument to the golden age of Greece. The Caryatids Porch draws attention for its sculpted female columns and its dedication to several divinities, including Athena and Poseidon. The tour continues to the Herod Atticus Odeon, a restored Roman auditorium seating 5,000, still used for performances during the Athens festival. Near there is the Temple of Asclepios, where the guide explains ancient Athenian medical practices and votive offerings. Finally, the ancient marble theater is visited, known for its 17,000 seats and excellent acoustics, and where classical Greek dramas were first performed. The tour does not include transfers and is fully on foot.
