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.
At Fresko Yogurt Bar Acropolis (3, Dionyssiou Areopagitou Street), look for your expert guide with an orange sign that says “Athens Walking Tours.” 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!
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.
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. Failure to notify us in advance will require us to buy the tickets for you, and you will have to pay for the entrance ticket through us also at the meeting point. Please be cautious when acquiring your ticket, as selecting an incorrect date, time, or guest type may result in a non-refundable tour fee. Additionally, please be aware that we cannot issue a valid admission ticket at the meeting point under these circumstances.
