I traveled by myself so took time to view the exhibits as much and as little as I wanted. I preferred this to being told many facts and figures which I would have forgotten before I was out the door. I liked seeing some of the pieces in their stages of deterioration to remind me of how many eras and years they have been around to help me understand that great art has been with us throughout time.

Ermies was one of (if not the absolute) best tour guide we've ever had! He was beyond knowledgeable about every aspect of the tour (and then some). It was an extremely hot day, so he took care to make sure we had plenty of time to rest in the shade. He was also very considerate of the other tour groups around us. He made this experience 1000x better than we expected!

Great tour guide, Kosta. Awesome info, really felt his passion for the history and culture. I'd love more tours with him if I could! 100% recommend for anyone going. Would've been 10% of the experience without him.

As a history lover , I was able to immerse myself in what the Acropolis once was. I didn't get the audio guide , perhaps I should have however , there's information everywhere with pictures and fragments to give you the great historical experience . Views of the city also amazing !

The Acropolis itself is spectacular, it is a millenary place and incredible! It would be very useful the audio guide to learn and understand where you are and what is what but it was good the tickets with no line and no problem to redeem them. The tourist bus is good for people who dedicate the time we had no problem using it but we did not have time so next time I do not buy it because I did not use it. To improve the location of the stops in piraeus and glyfada, we could never find them.

We only had one day to visit the Acropolis as we had a 24 hour layover. The tickets to the Acropolis and the museum was a good combination for us to spend the day. Sadly, my companion did not walk very well, and the elevator was not in working order for tourist. We did manage the steps slowly much to the ire of the various tour groups that visited at the same time as us. as for the museum, it was nice to see some of the pieces that were returned from the British Museum, I do hope someday that the Acropolis can be returned to a condition prior to the damage done by the various "visitors" of the 19th century.
