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.

Our recommendation is "Fresko Yogurt Bar Acropolis", 3, Dionysiou Areopagitou st , because we believe it is the right and most convenient spot for the route of the tour! Your tour guide or office representative will be holding the orange-colored Athens Walking Tours sign to identify them.
This location is at the beginning of the pedestrian walkway that takes you from Hadrian's Arch, Siggrou Avenue (also written as Syngrou), to the Acropolis.
Please be at the meeting point 15 minutes prior to the tour departure time.
Our tip: While at Fresko Yogurt Bar Acropolis, it is a good opportunity to try a serving of fresh authentic Greek yogurt, best when topped with honey or a spoonful of Greek sweets. Be sure to ask for a free sample after you check in with your guide!
Ask us for pick up from your hotel! Some, but not all hotels are conveniently located within the route of the tour and in this case, our guide will gladly meet you at your hotel lobby and start your tour from there.
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.

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.
