Visited out of the high season, pre-booking made the process quick and easy. The collection is world-class and timeless. A must-see for anyone with a modicum of interest in ancient history while in Athens.

If you are doing tours adhoc and didn't have time to book a guide, this is the way to go. The explanations are really good, you are being guided by the gps feature so you know what you are looking at, depending your location, very useful in places like delphi and the acropolis. The ability to ask custom questions would be amazing, I hope the developers add it soon.

Incredible but here's why - go first thing 8am and during shoulder season Is a real gem! Save the cup of coffee for after because there are no drinks other than water allowed and there are great breakfast spots on the way out! The sunrise is stellar and less crowd means better photos and better views. Bring a jacket in September October as it's chilly that early but definitely work it!
