Seeing the historical sites is indescribable. Be sure to watch the time. We took the lt time slot to escape the crowds and unfortunately only had 1 hour as it was currently closing at 18pm. The staff at the Acropolis were very unfriendly!

Having a prebooked ticket at an early time made the visit enjoyable and less crowded. The audio guide was also perfect in length and added to understanding the significance of the monuments.

The Acropolis & museum were absolutely breathtaking! This ticket made it super easy to quickly access the venues and going at 8am was a perfect time to have the least amount of crowds! We loved see the Acroplis, especially without the scaffolding for the first time in over 20 years!

This pass was definitely worth it. We made use of visiting all the sites included, which saved us at least 20 Euros than if we visited each site individually. Other than the acropolis, the remaining sites were much less crowded and had museums that show the various ancient artifacts.
