Skipping the line and getting to the Acropolis early was great and super easy. We were able to go slow with our grandmother and enjoy all the sites on the hill. It was so busy when we were leaving I'm glad we got in early. The bus was okay. It took a very long time to show up and there was confusion at the interchange about which bus was going where. We missed our bus to the beach because of this. One of the drivers was also not giving people enough time to get off at the stops so many people missed their location. The staff at the interchange did well at organizing cruise participants though. We were not on a cruise but noticed they were helpful.

The trip was well organised with different timings across the day to spread the crowds. We were pleased it was cooler time of year so waiting wasn't too hot and it was a pleasant temperature at the top. The access was goood for most levels of mobility and it wasn't exhausting going up. You definitely need good flat shoes/trainers as it can be slippery off the main tracks. At the top there was lots of space for all to enjoy delicate the crowds on the way up. It was awe inspiring looking at the Parthenon and other buildings. Very pleased we went to the acropolis museum first and knew more about the history and buildings.

I'm so glad we pre paid and booked out Acropolis tour. We elected 6 pm and that was perfect avoid the scorching sun and just in time for the sunset as we finished the tour. Acropolis tour is an amazing experience, one that I feel I will cherish as long as I can through my memories. The historical significance can really be felt as walk up the hill towards it and enjoy the views of the ruins. Got to also see the lowering of the flag ceremony by the Greek Army soldiers. Would highly recommend this time.

Visiting Athens was an extraordinary experience! The city is a perfect balance of ancient history and modern vitality. Everywhere you turn, you breathe culture: from the majestic Parthenon overlooking the Acropolis, to the picturesque alleys of Plaka, filled with cozy taverns and Mediterranean scents. A great help in enjoying the city to the fullest was the tour buses. I absolutely recommend them! They are comfortable, punctual and perfect for those who want to explore Athens without stress. Thanks to the various lines, I was able to easily visit all the most important points: the Acropolis, the National Museum, Syntagma Square, and even Piraeus, with its beautiful sea views. The multilingual audio guide is clear and interesting, and tells the history of the city in an engaging way. In addition, the ticket is valid for 24 or 48 hours, so you can get off and back on as many times as you want-ideal for those who want to discover Athens at their leisure. Simply put, Athens is a city that captivates you, and the tour buses are the best way to appreciate it from every angle without missing anything. I can't wait to go back! 🇬🇷✨

I didnt like that the entry to the temple was not included, it was not very clear when i purchase the ticket and i dont think it was worth it without the entry to the posiedon temple. Ride was nice but i didnt enjoy the second part that much.

We loved visiting the Acropolis. I was surprised at how easy it was to go up that hill to visit this incredible area . The views are amazing and the Parthenon is absolutely awesome. Incredible that it is standing after all these years.

I took my daughter for her first trip there to the acropolis. It was my second time but this time most of the scaffolding had been taken down so it was wonderful to see how much restoration and cleaning that had been done! What a treat!
