This included a downloadable audio tour of the Acropolis and Plaka, as well as entry tickets. The audio guide didn't work half the time, so we had no real idea of what we were looking at. Since the map wouldn't load for Plaka, we had no idea where we were so we just decided to skip that after 30 minutes of being lost and just explored the city and went shopping. had we known we would have taken the time to review the tour before we got to the site, but we thought we would be able to follow it in real time.

Sure but Also nahhhh
The Parthenon was packed . The Acropolis was packed . THIS PLACE was PACKED. Be prepared for a lot of slick steps , pushing and shucking, lots and lots and lots of tourists. The ticket companies buy out all the tickets then sell them back to you at a markup . So that u have to go through them to get a ticket. Buyer be Aware :) the audio guide is nice but kind of a joke because it does not have GPS coordinated with your listening . So rarely do you know what you are looking at but they give you some nice information to make you feel like you are learning something about Greek history and Greek culture . I would not buy this again. But good luck if you want to try it out .

Audio tour Acropolis
This was not a good experience as far as an audio tour goes. 6 people in my group total- only 3 of us were able to connect with the audio tour. We were all together and followed the directions and downloaded the same way. 1 download disappeared, 1 had partial content, and on had the following date so would not play. English was the selected tour. The accent was so difficult to understand even though English speaking. I would expect a refund if possible. Poor experience. We all (6) gave up listening and simply enjoyed the views on our own.

Dont bother
The starting point is impossible to get to at the nominated time due partly to hopelessly usekess instructions and the delay actually getting into the site..as a cosequence the audio guide was usless

Excellent experience, but overpriced
The experience was really good, we did it early in the morning, and the queue was still very big. I booked it through Tripadvisor, but still had to queue to purchase tickets for the children even though you don’t pay for them as they are under 18, it was really annoying as we had to wait to buy tickets and then again to get in. Staff were helpful and spoke good English.
We stayed for about 1.5hrs, as we did a self guided tour, which I recommend. It was very easy to navigate through the area, but it does get very busy and there were lots of people pushing to get close especially those in tour groups. If you do this definitely earlier the better..
If you take a bag you will have to queue to have this checked, and you can’t take food in there.
It definitely wasn’t worth the money that we paid for it.
Also to note, there is a lot of steps and walking to get up to the Acropolis, so make sure you wear walking shoes.

A truly wonderful experience at any age
There are many many stairs and inclines. The roads are paned with cobblestone. Because of this, they are uneven and many are very slippery. The older you are the more difficult it becomes to manipulate this area..

Good option for tickets...
Good option for tickets and to be able to go through the acropolis at your own pace while still getting some information.

Scam
Scam!! The entrance fee is €30 (available on many sites) and the audio guide is free. Here I paid €49/person for a lousy audio guide. Do not take!!!
