Good experience.
Paul_S

I bought the ticket online. I received multiple emails from viator. All I needed was the one email with the tickets. These were in email number 3. I managed to save a ticket into my Apple wallet, which was not the correct ticket. We didn’t manage to queue jump, though, that didn’t really matter as we got there at the right time of year/day, so that there was no long queue anyway. The site itself was pretty amazing, but I would avoid it in the height of tourist season, as the pathways are quite narrow to go up, and having to stop every 5 seconds for someone to take another inane selfie might cause a mental breakdown in hot weather. We didn’t bother with the recorded tour guide, though would recommend it. Internet reception is pretty bad up the top.

Exciting venue with taxi rip offs
Michael_T
, Sep 2021
I arrived at 3.00pm to avoid the queues and this was a great choice. Audio is not available and this should be made clear at the booking stage. You can tour with a guide but that is the only option. Steps were very slippery and a number of people fell on the descent. The taxi to the Acropolis was 5 euros, but the taxi rank at the bottom of the hill tried to charge me 20 euros for the same journey. I heard them doing this to every other customer and discussed this with other taxi drivers during my visit. The taxi rank at the Acroplois is not controlled by the city authorities and appears to be able to rip off the visitors at will. Do not allow this to happen to you. Just walk down the road and hail a passing taxi at the bottom!

Unclear communications
Heather_D
, Sep 2021
Acropolis site was excellent, however these tickets are confusing, as mentioned in other reviews. Instructions on receiving the voucher are to scan the barcode at the ticket machines, however this is incorrect. The Acropolis on site tourist information centre were unable to help to clarify and indicated that the tickets were not valid and I should buy more at the gate. Only when selecting ‘contact tour operator’ on the Viator link for support do you reach the actual ticket barcodes which are able to be used at the gate - which do work. Links and communication should be much more clear to avoid wasting time and causing unnecessary concern.

Print out/screenshot your ticket!
TRACY_P
, Sep 2021
We indeed skip the huge line, so it was great 👍 Top tip: either print out or take a photo of the bar code before you go up the Acropolis as there is literally no signal. We couldn’t get the bar code to open and I had a real faff about going between one of the staff at the office and one at the turnstiles trying to get it to work. Acropolis definitely worth a visit though. We were happy just to wander around without a guide.

Fast and Easy

Get your tickets here or you can wait in a long line at the entrance. Be sure and download the PDF and print out your tickets because the button for placing the digital tickets into your phone wallet does not work. It only places the receipt for the ticket into your wallet. You have to click and download each ticket.

Love Skip the Line access!
justin_c
, Sep 2021
Skip the line access is fantastic as the line for tickets was very long, even though it was a relatively "quiet" day (still loads of people but compared to normal, non-covid times, it was considered not busy). The ticket process was a bit confusing as the first barcode you get is not actually your ticket, it says its your ticket but it also says its not your ticket. You need to have the voucher with the QR code, NOT a simple barcode otherwise it won't scan at the turnstiles. The gentleman manning the turnstiles wasn't overly helpful but I finally managed to get the right ticket sent to my email without having to call for support. Perhaps because I bought the tickets just before we arrived at the Acropolis, I'm not sure but just be aware that you need the document (paper or electronic) with the QR code to get in.

Must purchase this in conjunction for some of the tours, if ticket not included. Use this to bypass 50-70 people in line.

Easy Process

Worked great...had our tickets on the phone and went straight into the Acropolis. We went very early and so there was not many people there at the time. Remember to bring lots of water because it was hard to find water for sale there. Have fun...we had a great time.

Must Buy "Skip the Line" ticket
Lisa_M
, Jul 2021
Amazing experience seeing this historic site. The queue to buy tickets was incredibly long and there is no way I wanted to stand in 35 degrees heat! If I had not had this "Skip the Line" ticket we would have turned round and gone home! Worth every penny!
