Very interesting trip up...
Very interesting trip up to the Acropolis, unfortunately the app stopped working while up there so didn’t get to hear the info until after

Must see in Athens
Fantastic experience definitely worth it such amazing views and love the history. So glad we did this early in the morning.

The audio portion was...
The audio portion was going in and out. It was a memorable spot to visit. Lovely views of Athens from all sides.

Acropolis audio
While the audio tour was great in theory you should know you can download the audio tour before you enter. You have more than a day and we wish we would have so we could have understood the way the controls worked better. That being said it was difficult to use because it was so hot my phone shut off due to heat (not the tours fault just something to be aware of). The site is obviously worth visiting and spending time to see. We listened to audio tour in the comfort of our room after

Expect long lines and lots of steps, BUT ... worth it!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to follow (both in english language and visibility). Incredible experience to be up there.

Legit Tickets!
Wasn't able to get the 8am Parthenon tickets from the official site so this was the next best option without the need to spend extra money an official tour. These passes were legit and it was nice to get in at 8am and see most of the sites before it started to get really crowded. We did not use the self guided tour so cannot comment on that but this company did send me the tickets via what's app the night before.

Bait and Switch
Not happy with this seller, I booked 2 weeks ahead and confirm the day before, my ticket will be 8:00 AM admission. Come tour day, they said they don’t have ticket admission at 8:00AM, want us to switch to 10:45 instead. We already booked the our guide starting at 7:30 so we go to acropolis at 8:00. 10:45 would not do us any good. This is a bait and switch. Do not use them. Thanks to our tour guide, we still able to experience Greece

Acropolis is amazing, we just wouldn't use Sights of Athens again
The Acropolis itself is amazing and I would highly recommend that everyone goes. I just wouldn't use this operator. We booked through Viator and never received our tickets before leaving the US to Greece. I sent an email & they said they were contacting their local partner, Sights of Athens. We were told the tickets would be sent the next morning, they weren't. I reached back out & was told the vendor forgot to send the tickets. We literally received the tickets a couple hours before our entry time. We had no idea if we were actually going to get them or had been scammed until the very last minute.

Great way to plan a trip
Everything we did with Viator was wonderful. Very good communication with them. We had a problem communicating with our driver yesterday and they were very helpful in resolving the issue.
