Lots of walking and hills - not that you can avoid this - but beware. Now that’s out of the way, the tour and guide were excellent. Lots to see, even though there is scaffolding on so much, but the history was worth it.

We didn't have to wait in the line which is a really good thing in my opinion. The thing that I like the most is the map we got with the audio guide, it is really helpful. Made my planning much easier

Our guide was amazing and the tour was so well planned. I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend the tour to anyone in Athens, especially, if you only have a few days in the city.

Overall, this was a really easy process. The audio guide readers were not all equally charismatic, but two of the three were good. The QR codes were fairly easy to handle with a smartphone.

It was soooo good. We got to see sunset and the mountains from the steps of the acropolis! So cheap and worth it!
