Great few hours spent
We were due yo be picked up at our hotel which we were then had to walk to catch the bus. Our guide was very knowledgeable and I am glad we went to the museum first as we found out a lot about greek mythology The downside was getting yo the acropolis hill for 11am in 35 degree heat not for the weak! When we booked we thought it was the other way round (but understand why the museum was really busy when we were leaving)

Reservation changed - it worked out!
Although our original plan was changed because not enough people signed up for the walking by tour, we were upgrading to the bus tour. We enjoyed the drive around the city, and although we had wanted to walk through the garden, we will definitely be back and can do this on our own. We also enjoyed our tour guide’s thorough description of the sites we visited and all of the details she added. Our group was relatively large (maybe 15-20 people) and she did a good job making sure everyone was aware of the logistics and things we needed to know to get back with the group after our free time at the Acropolis. We also enjoyed the tour of the museum and were grateful for the time she took to point out the highlights of the exhibits. Overall, we were pleased with the tour, and will definitely be back to fill in the places we would have seen on the walking tour.

Downloaded Tour Wouldn’t Work
It was a waste of money! We downloaded the tour before we left. It wouldn’t play. We spoke to a man half way up and he said it would only work at the top of the Acropolis. It did but only sporadically. Caused us way too much frustration. Not worth it!
Response from the operator: Hello from Chat Tours, Thank you for your comment . We would like to mention that you participated our Historical Walking Tour of Athens on the date that we made a test of a new application which we want to include in our tour services. We asked of some understanding on this date but we need this trial in real time in order to find the improvements we will need to make . This is considered to be another affort of our company to improve our quality and services. We will be glad to see you again in Athens and offer you this tour on its final version . Always at your disposal, Angelina Skyla.

Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation cost?
+
Prices start at €35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation?
+
Included: Professional guide; In-vehicle air conditioning; and whisper devices. Not included: Gratuities; Entrance fee to the Acropolis ticket Euro 30; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation?
+
Hotel Amalia Athens at 08:30 lobby Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Acropolis Walking Tour with Professional Guide & Transportation if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
