Having purchased these tickets ahead, it certainly saved time at the Acropolis. Otherwise, you will see that the line to get to the gate is about 10 blocks long and if you first have to get to the top of the mountain to purchase tickets and then find a place in the line to the gate, that will set you back in time very much. My advice is to get there early with tickets like this purchased and get in the line quickly. :) The museums were easy to get in and thoroughly enjoyed both experiences and the myriad items on display. Worth the money!

Obviously the acropolis and museums were everything we had expected from all the reviews. Even in February it was getting quite busy by later morning so if you want a bit of space get there early! My phone was refusing to work with the acropolis scanners but the fabulous chap at key tours sorted us out and printed tickets off for us. It was less than five minutes away to get to the office, so not a bother, he couldn't have been more helpful. The info on gyg said that the tickets would have to be picked up, that's not quite accurate, if you have a phone ( which isn't on the blink) the tickets are sent to you digitally.

This guided tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum was excellent - our guide Joanna was clearly an expert on the history and architecture, and excellent interpersonal skills. She took a genuine interest in our party of four to make our experience meaningful and pleasant. After the tour, she went above and beyond her responsibilities to guide us at least one half mile through a labyrinth of streets to hail a taxi back to our hotel. Thank you so much Joanna for your thoughtfulness and expertise.
