About This Tour
The first guided visit to an open air monument in Greece designed specifically for visually impaired travellers. A licensed guide trained for this work leads the tour using 3D printed models, monument replicas and tactile maps, so a blind or low vision visitor and their sighted companion experience the Acropolis together rather than one describing it to the other.
