    Everything went according to schedule without any major lines. Since it was early in the day, we were able to explore the Acropolis itself without the crowds. I wouldn't recommend the museum if you have a fear of enclosed spaces. Fortunately, we didn't. It was an interesting time.

    Our tour guide Deppy was very friendly and informative. She was very helpful to the group and helped us gel in order to make it a nicer day. I found her information very very good and she guided us through the tour wonderfully well. She gave us great breaks and yet, we still stuck together and got through the whole tour. The content of the tour itself, that is the Acropolis, museum and surrounding area, was fantastic. Our tour guide made it possible for us to understand and imagination in its former glory. Thank you for a great day.

    This is my favorite experience I've ever been to on a vacation. Loved the audio guide. The temples and ruins were so beautiful. I managed to kill 4.5 hours here. I'm also having bad jet lag, so I liked that I could go at my own pace. There were plenty of places to sit and rest. Highly recommend going here. It's a lot more manageable than the Acropolis which is also amazing but loud and overly crowded.
