With prepaid tickets we got to skip the line and used them days after seeing the acropolis. So we didn't have to fit all the walking into one day which was nice. The information was interesting on the app. The app wasn't perfect. It's best to look at the map and confirm the place and don't move while listening to it or it will start over or skip. Don't print the tickets as they scan easily from your phone. It's super busy. We went at 9am and it was packed. I would come closer to sunset next time

At the beginning it seemed very disorganized but once we were on the bus the wonderful guide took over and it was fantastic. The luncheon was extraordinary and then a bit of a rest as due to the extremely hot weather it meant the day had to be split so it became a sunset tour to Poseidon Temple but was worth the exhaustion if a very long day.
