Being in such a historic place was incredible, on a beautiful day, seeing the Acropolis and Parthenon and the view of all of Athens! I appreciate listening to the audio tour which put our trip in better context with Europe and Asia. Standing on the same rocks as some of the world's most famous philosophers felt surreal.

Amid a crowd of waiting visitors, our registration was meticulously checked—after that, we could immerse ourselves in this impressive Acropolis, visible from afar, with its incredible treasures. Even the fierce, stormy gusts of wind couldn't drive us away that easily.

The Acroppolis is breathtaking and an absolute must do at the top of anyone's travel list. Despite knowing about it basically my whole life and wanting to visit it, it far surpassed my expectations.

The Acropolis was an amazing place to see. The Audio Guide was fine once you found the spot to look at. I would think from the way it's displayed in the App, that you start at 1 and work your way through. There was no flow and not in order. Could have been set up differently for a better experience. No regrets seeing this though, still paid a fair price and just figured things out on our own.

We arrived 15 minutes before the time indicated on our tickets, and entry to the Acropolis was fast with the electronic tickets. The audio guide worked well and the stories were interesting.

Wonderful sites, whether it's the Acropolis or the modern museum. What ruined the experience for me was the audio guide: it had a lot of bugs, disconnected regularly, was made by AI with rough sentence syntax, and above all, it was a major battery drain. Magnificent view of the city from the Acropolis. Magnificent ruins at the modern museum. Be careful if you want to visit the baths: doors close half an hour before the museum closes.

I thoroughly enjoyed our trilingual guide, as he was so entertaining flipping between English, French and Greek as he told us about the Temple of Poseidon, and suggested how we visit the area around it to get the best experience for our large group. While there were a lot of people around the temple, it never felt overwhelming or like it was too much, which was such a delightful surprise for such a big tourist site.

Visiting the Acropolis is a must. It's not cheap, but the price is justified given the exceptional nature of the site and the maintenance and restoration costs. Don't hesitate if you're in Athens, it would be a shame to miss it. From below it's beautiful, up close it's extraordinary.

Wonderful experience. Quick entry to the Acropolis of Athens, and the clear, precise audio guide made our visit much more interesting. We entered at 5 PM and stayed until sunset: SPECTACULAR. The audio guide for the Plaka neighborhood was also great.

The Acropolis was incredible, the walk up was easier than we thought. Yes the walking was a little slippery but having good runners helped a lot. At the top was breath taking. I would do it again!
