Easy service to use and get in with. Wish we would have prepared ourselves better with the audio. The experience even on a 90+ degree day was still epic. Make sure you take a water in with you.

We enjoyed the beauty of the history there! Being able to get tickets in the phone was great. The lady viewing our tickets was not very friendly & she held us while she let everyone in line behind us through. Then she helped us w/a simple resolve in our ticket view on the phone. But overall we would do it again given the opportunity!

I managed to visit all the sites during my 3 days in Athens. The audio tours were also useful both those for the specific sites and for the general area tours.
