Booked the tickets in advanced and I was so glad we did as the queue was huge (we travelled at the end of September). We didn’t end up using the audio part of the tour so I can’t comment on that. The Acropolis is well worth a visit and quite spectacular. Nothing special about this tour, it’s entry into the Acropolis without having to queue (the same as what you purchase when you’re there!)

The trip to Acropolis was wonderful and magical, the energy is ethereal up there, so much history and the view down the sea and the small traditional whitewashed houses is amazing.

Great application!!accurate guide,which offers you a personalized and detailed tour, and compines past (history) with present through augmented reality!

2 hour boat ride to Lindos was pleasant. Seating was ample and not over crowded. Clean bathrooms. Swimming in the bay afterwards was awesome.
