Definitely not described as “moderate” walking. Lots of steps or steep hills. The weather was beautiful and the site amazing. But be prepared to climb a lot of steps.
Don’t use this tour operator

The Acropolis is fantastic and a wonderful experience but I can’t recommend this tour agent. Poor communication and we did not receive information about the audio guide until after the tour had ended! We were overcharged for the experience. Will not book through this agent again. Beware!
The Colosseum skip the line tour, just fantastic!!

We are so happy to have booked this tour. Skipping the line easily saved us up to an hour. Just go straight to the entry line on the left. A once in a lifetime experience. We totally recommend getting the earliest tour that you can to avoid both the heat and the larger crowds which arrive around midday. Don’t forget to take water and sunscreen.
Very amazing to see. I...

Very amazing to see. I didn't understand how hot it would be which made it a little difficult. Still worth visiting.
Too crowded but still something not to miss

The crowd was massive and moved very slowly in most places. It was impossible to get good photos. And a little dangerous on the slippery marble when it was so crowded
Book ahead for convenience!

Walked right up and in at scheduled time. This saved us time and made for a flawless experience. Bring water and wear sunscreen and good walking shoes. The experience is not to be missed!
Use this to Avoid the Lines and Self Guide.

This is how we got our tickets to avoid the lines. If you do not want or need a guide (we prefer to walk around on our own). This is the way to go. In July it is VERY hot and sunny. Bring a hat, sunscreen, sun glasses and a bottle of water. And, do NOT miss the Temple of Hephaestus on the way down/out. We almost did.
