The entrance to the acropolis was well priced, and the audio guide was phenomenal, they allowed us to change the audio because I made a mistake when I selected Placka instead of the audio guide of the acropolis. Very nice. The only thing they should number the points on the map to know where you are standing, otherwise it's a bit confusing. And allow the audioguide to jump alone depending on your location, activate it or not (it always jumped), otherwise, very good, recommendable!

j ai réservé un billet pour l acropole et j etais sensé avoir le guide audio pour le site mais à la place j avais la visite audio du quartier plaka, qui en plus n à pas fonctionné. le hop on hop off était bien. I booked a ticket for the acropolis and I was supposed to have the audio guide for the site but instead I had the audio tour of the plaka district, which also didn't work. the bus hop on hop off was good

it is absolutely worth it! Even though the traffic condition around Athens could delay your plan but it is understandable and probably gives you a bit more time to look around from the top of bus. The acropolis is breathtaking and realised all your imagination about the ancient history of Greece that we learned from the school.

I bought two adult tickets, but no tickets for my daughter who is 5 as the website said children 'over 5' needed a ticket. I read that to be 6yrs and up. But when we arrived we were told my daughter did need a ticket because she is 5yrs and a few months. It wasn't a problem and we got her a ticket quickly, but clearer terms would be appreciated.
