Skip-the-Ticket Line Access
We are pleased to offer all our guests a convenient skip-the-ticket-line service. We take care and pre-purchasing the entrance tickets for each archaeological site and Museum visited during the tour, saving you the hassle of buying them online or queuing up at the ticket counters. However, please be aware that even with our skip-the-ticket-line service, there might be some waiting time required for security checks. This is because visitor numbers can fluctuate unpredictably at the sites throughout the day. The typical waiting time falls within 0 to 10 or 30 minutes, though on rare occasions, it might be longer.
However, here's where our service truly shines: Even amidst a queue, our experienced guides will always stay by your side. They will use this time as an opportunity to kickstart your tour, offering in-depth explanations about the history and significance of the site you're about to explore. This way, not a moment is wasted, and you're assured of the full, rich experience we promise.
We will be waiting for you at Fresko Yogurt Bar Acropoli (3, Dionyssiou Areopagitou Street). Look for the orange sign displaying "Athens Walking Tours." Fresko is located at the start of the pedestrian walkway that leads to the Acropolis from Hadrian's Arch, Siggrou Avenue (also written as Syngrou).
Please arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes prior to the tour departure time.
Our tip: While you're at Fresko Yogurt Bar Acropoli, it's the perfect opportunity to try fresh and authentic Greek yogurt. It's best when topped with honey or a spoonful of Greek sweets. Don't forget to ask your guide for a free sample after checking in!
A new time zone system for entry to the Acropolis has been introduced. This innovative approach aims not only to minimize waiting times but also to prevent overcrowding, ensuring a more sustainable and enjoyable experience for all visitors.
Booking a tour with us guarantees your entry on that specific date and time. Advance booking is highly recommended due to limited availability.
If you have selected the “Book WITH Ticket” option, everything is included, and you will collect the admission tickets from our staff during check-in for the tour at the meeting point. We will be prepurchasing the tickets for you for the specific timezone.
If you've selected the “Book WITHOUT Ticket” option, you will need to make the payment for your admission ticket in cash at the check-in at our meeting point before the tour commences, directly with us. We will have already prepurchased the tickets for you for the correct time slot.
However, if you choose to obtain your ticket independently for any reason, which we do not recommend, please notify us in writing at info@athenswalkingtours.gr at least 24 hours before the tour's scheduled start time.
