Best tour of our trip!
Our tour guide stopped several times to give us information about what we were seeing so the walk up to Acropolis was easier than expected. She was very knowledgeable and enjoyable.

Audio guide of a very good...
Audio guide of a very good standard. We used a Bluetooth speaker, turning the volume up enough to listen as a group of three without bothering the other visitors. By starting right at the museum's opening, we were undisturbed and listened to the commentary for 2 hours. The tickets received as QR codes were very convenient.
Operator response
Bonjour et merci pour votre commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que votre visite vous a plu et que vous avez trouvé l'audioguide informatif et facile d'utilisation. Nous sommes également heureux de savoir que les billets envoyés ont facilité votre entrée. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau très prochainement ! ✨ Bien cordialement, Claire

Book direct with Museum
The cost of booking through a third party is + €12. Audio was supposed to be for the entire museum, only some worked and no direct exhibit audio was available. Museum was absolutely worth the €20, but skip the 3rd party sellers this don’t add true value.
Operator response

Museum refused Clio Tours tickets!
The museum did not honor the tickets,we purchased! After 15 minutes if arguing, they gave up and admitted us. I emailed Clio Tours about the issue and they gave me the run around. Just buy a ticket at the museum.

Ticket issue
Unfortunately, we could not use our tickets as they were dated the 18 th March rather than the date we booked for, the 28 th March. The museum did not recognise the reference number either. Our reference is 1370567845 and we would be grateful if you could check this for us. We paid viator 44 euro for 2 tickets and had to pay a further 40 euro to get into the museum yesterday as the tickets weren't accepted.
Operator response
Hello, and thank you for your feedback! We apologize as this was a mistake from our end. Our records indicate that there was a discrepancy with your tickets from our end, as they showed past-dated information. As a result, a refund has been processed for your booking. Please contact us to get a free audio tour for your next destination as an apology. Best regards, Claire

We had issues with our...
We had issues with our tickets when we first got to the museum. It showed that the tickets had already been used by someone else. We tried to get ahold of the company, Clio Tours, to no avail. We ended up buying two more tickets to see the museum. We sent a text message to them, asking for a refund. They said it had to come from Viator. They seemed very unconcerned about fixing the problem, it also happened to three people who came in right behind us. Viator did come through and gave us a refund. While we trust Viator, I would not trust Clio Tours
Operator response
Hello, and thank you for your feedback! We are truly sorry to hear about your experience, this is certainly not the kind of experience we want for our guests. Upon reviewing your case and identifying the issue with the ticket attached to your reservation, we promptly approved your refund. As we do not have access to your billing information, we advised you to reach out to Viator for further assistance with the refund process, and the refund has been approved accordingly. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused during your tour, and we will use your feedback to help improve our service moving forward. Thank you for your understanding. Best, Claire
