Getting the tickets the day of the tour was confusing and hard. The instructions werent clear and parts were contradictory for how to get tickets. We never did use the audio. I had to call Viator to help me get tickets to get inside. Frustrating.

It is best to buy your tickets ahead of time on line. The line to get in gets long quick. Our friends hired a guide once arriving at the Acropolis. We did not, toured the sight on our own.

We did not realize that you had to download the audio. We thought there would be headphones there available for us, so we did not get the whole experience. That was a little disappointing.
Great experience

It was nice to have tickets to Acropolis, since there was a line to the ticket office and only later entry times available. Provided QR codes worked without any issues. I did not use audio guide

It’s an ok audio guide. Very short and not worth the extra money. Buy your tickets at the entrance. It’s not packed at all if you get there before 10a. The narrator in English has a very thick accent so be prepared to listen closely.

Convenience to skip the line, amazing vistas, but crowded, despite the 8am tour. The tour narration was very informative.
Times tickets = worth it, Audio Guide = trash

Worth it to make sure we could get timed tickets, and not get scammed when buying these tickets. You don’t meet up as a group - you get your tickets and go solo. The audio guide is awful.

A great self paced tour that should be a must for all to visit Athens. An amazing part of the world that is constantly undergoing maintenance for the future.

The Acropolis was amazing. Be there early or late to avoid the crowd. Take time to walk from the lower entrance as the upper one does not direct you to the ruins and amphitheater on the museum side slope.
