“This Acropolis and Parthenon self-guided tour is well worth a visit. The entrance can get a little crowded so buy your tickets in advance so you can jump the queue. There is a lot to see so take your time, that way you won’t miss anything. It is a steady uphill walk so in the summer months visit early and take plenty of water. Top tip: my wife always takes an umbrella because shade is very scarce.”

13.Acropolis & Parthenon Entrance Ticket w/optional SG Audio Tours

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 606 reviews · 1 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $50

Enter the Acropolis of Athens with a pre-booked ticket for a specific time slot. Explore the Parthenon, Erechtheion, Temple of Athena Nike, Theater of Dionysus, and Odeon of Herodes Atticus at your own pace. An optional English audio tour covers the Acropolis, and a separate self-guided audio tour covers Plaka. Bring your own phone and earphones.

“The Acropolis & Parthenon are fabulous! Initially the Viator website was a bit confusing regarding how you download the tickets (other reviewers has said this too). We downloaded and printed them out before travelling. In my opinion the cost of pre-booking the ticket with audio tour is a bit high when compared to the actual entry ticket price. That said, when we got there we saw that the queue for the ticket office was very long and so I definitely recommend purchasing tickets in advance. We didn't find the audio guide that helpful but perhaps that was just us. The overall experience was fantastic though.”
