Our tours are conducted primarily in English, but can also be arranged in French or Spanish upon request.

To make the most of your visit, we recommend bringing:

• A bottle of water, sunglasses and a hat (esp. during the warm months, for April to October)
• A raincoat/umbrella if the weather forecast suggests rain
• Comfortable, enclosed shoes with good support as the paths of the Acropolis Hill can feel like a light hiking experience.

For safety reasons it is NOT allowed and/or advised to bring any the following items:
– Any food or beverage except for water
– Any sharp items, such as knives or bottle openers
– Any large backpacks will be handed to the cloakroom in the Acropolis museum

No food or drink is provided by the company.
In case it rains the company will not provide with an umbrella.

Of course! The Parthenon is one of the monuments you are going to admire on top of the Acropolis Hill.
