We opted for the combined ticket, including audio guide. We cannot share the negative reviews of the audio implementation. We found the voice guidance to be fluent and understandable and - thanks to the geotracking - even intuitive at times. Overall, we were satisfied and felt well informed. Many thanks

Having 6 entrances for a affordable price. However, the audio app is not friendly use. I could figure out how to use it.

Not boring at all, it provides a lot of interesting information. Also convenient is the fact that the guide automatically updates as you move around so it explains step by step what you are visiting.

Acropolis and Parthenon are wonderful. The audio guide very poor in descriptions. More interesting and detailed were the signs in English in front of the sculptures. I expected the audio guide to come much closer to that level of description.

The discovery of the magnificent historical heritage that makes this beautiful country so rich. A wonderful journey back in time to the 21st century.

Explore ancient Greek history

The Acropolis is a stunning Athenian temple complex located on a rocky outcrop above the city. Stop by the ruins of legendary structures like the Propylaea, the entrance to the ancient temple of Parthenon. Dedicated to Athena, the Parthenon’s main function was to shelter the monumental statue of Athena that was made by Pheidias out of gold and ivory.

Temples in the Acropolis

Wander across the once-sacred halls of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus will leave you in awe. The large amphitheater was built in AD 161 by wealthy Roman Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife Regilla and is still used to this day for concerts and other events. You have the option to include a mobile audio guide in case you're looking to add some insights to your tour.
