5 stars for how easy it was to skip ticket lines and enter sites. the ticket was available offline. and the small map provided with it was helpful. also the fact that it is valid for 5 days. for anybody interested to buy this combo, i would recommend to visit the acropolis+slopes in the morning, because it gets busy during the day and there is a lot to see. the only site which was sort of a disappointment was the ancient cemetery: the grass was overgrown and you had to really use your imagination to make out the different ruins. I would recommend buying this ticket. PS we visited during January 2023.

bikes were excellent. the guide was better. very chill way to see the acropolis and surrounding areas. good bits of info given as well. highly recommend.

Angela, our guide, gave detailed explanations throughout the walk. Our questions were also answered promptly. Thank you Angela!!

Everything was perfect Always fast entry which saves lots of time
