The self guided tour was great to see the exhibits at my own pace. I was happy to skip some of the areas that didn't interest me as much as others.

Was so easy to access sites without waiting on line. Great value we throughly enjoy our selves viewing these magnificent sites
My son and i, loved the Acropolis, we've been wanted to visit for a while and the Acropolis museum was amazing. It is a self guided tour which we preferred.
Museum was closed day we were there but the Acropolis is a def. must see. Lots of people make for harder photos but still quite the site and such an iconic place that everyone needs to see at least once. Our hotel also had an amazing view of it lit up at night.
The acropolis portion was great. The museum part was not so great. The audio guide you get on your phone was provided by key tours not the museum. It would explain a piece, go to the next without telling you where to go or how to get there. Very frustrating.
We loved both the Acropolis and the museum but were shocked at the mark up on the tickets by both Viator and that this was on TripAdvisor. The Acropolis is a 20 Euro value and museum about 15 Euro. We ended up paying about 53 Euro per person. The audio guide wasn’t worth the extra fee as the commentary was too long-winded for such a crowded site. I would go directly to the site websites. Personally I am now suspicious of any TripAdvisor rec. btw “combo” does not mean you get into the Agora too. That’s another 10 Euros.
We were able to skip the long entrance lines at the Acropolis and the museum. Our ticket also gave us access to the excavation site under the museum.
Traffic out of the cruise port was crazy! We were an hour late getting to our slotted time to enter the acropolis, yet they honored our ticket. Having the eticket saved standing in a very long line in the sun to purchase a ticket. The Acropolis Museum is jam packed with history. It would take a good year to digest snd appreciate all that there is to see. Be sure to check out the outside excavation that was unearthed as they built the Museum. Very interesting!!
We're only giving this a poor review because we were running a day late and the ticket office couldn't reissue the tickets. Otherwise the Acropolis was magnificent and we found the handicap lift with no problem. The beautiful Museum was an easy walk downhill and was just stunning both in design and contents. Do not skip either on your Athens trip.
Unfortunately, I think this is now a tourist trap. We were fortunate we didn't have to wait too long to get in as my wife has a bad knee and we were able to go through the disabled entry otherwise we would have been in a 500m queue to get in even having pre bought tickets. Once we got up, the thousands of people there made it a waiting game to get anywhere. Most disappointing was the size now looks like a construction site with the Parthenon scaffolds on one side, cranes around the place, and building sites offices everywhere. Long waiting lines to get anywhere including exiting.
Front of line a waste of time and money. We were required to lineup for tickets and our requested time slot not available.
The acropolis is very cool. But this booking adds little value. First, the booking did a poor job of making clear that you can only enter the acropolis at a very specific time. I waited in line for admission only to be told to come back later. I raised this issue with the provider and they never responded. Two, this booking doesn’t do much. You can buy tickets online for the acropolis and museum in about one minute—without a markup. Finally, the audio tour was hard to follow because the geolocation wasn’t great. Perhaps it would work on a day when when the acropolis isn’t crowded. But on a crowded day it’s quite hard to use. You would be much better off splurging for a guide.
Unfortunately, we were unable to use the tickets wirhin the alloted timeslot for the Acropolis. Access to WiFi is not possible near the Acropolis and museum. Our screenshot ticket did not show date and time so we were not allowed in. We would have had to wait in a line over an hour long only to be told we had missed time and no more times for that day. As our trip was short we only had that day. Total waste of $77 AUD. I will attempt again on my return trip but friend is not returning home via Athens. Response from company to change date was basically... not possible, not our fault. Sorry, but you are the experts, we have never been to Athens and rely on you to explain in detail how the tickets work! What to expect etc. Others with tickets were experiencing same issues... not necessarily same company though.
The Acropolis and the museum were outstanding as expected. However, when I purchased my tickets, I never got the correct entrance QR codes (a separate one for each venue). I did receive a 'ticket' with a standard barcode (for both venues), which, to my surprise, was not accepted at either place! I had to call the customer service number on the email. To their credit, they were very responsive but I lost 20-30 min at the Acropolis (which had spotty reception), and an additional 10 min at the museum due to this (plus it may cost you money for this call as it is international). Make sure you have separate QR codes before you go!
A must see when you are in Athens. The hike to the top was manageable but make sure to bring water! Don’t forget to visit the underground ruins!
We had a great time- Panos our driver was very helpful- he also gave us suggestions on restaurant for my husband’s birthday and it was great! We were able to see more than 6 sites in and have the comfort of the private car. He also gave us insights about Athens and history of the places we visited. Key definitely is getting the tickets ahead of time to skip the line!
Useless & over priced!! Couldn’t download the audio guide before leaving our hotel for the Acropolis. Tried conveying this to Customer Service who were of zero help or care. Will not purchase any of their tours/experiences again.
To see but it's quite quick, to do very early, the opening is at 8 a.m. after 10 a.m. there are too many people. Best done with a guide because there are very few explanations
