Agora tour

Lori_P, Sep 2025

Easy to manage website and tickets made for an easy entry!!! Information from the audio tour was very interesting useful but found it hard to follow in regards to the layout. Didn’t help that it started at a gate that is currently closed.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hello, and thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear your ticketing experience went smoothly. As for the directions, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. There has been a recent change in the Ancient Agora site, due to maintenance work being done, and the directions need updating from our part, which we are currently working on. That said, we hope you still enjoyed your visit and that you’ll give us another chance in the future. Warm regards. Stephanie

Only if Tile Allows

Mark_C, Aug 2025

Okay to see but if pressed for time, bypass it. Most of the ruins are little to distinguish what was present. A few cool items to see if time allows. Very stringent on reservation times. Self directed tour. Must use the audio.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hello and thanks for your review! Your insights are helpful for fellow travelers. However, please note that we are only responsible for the audio guide and the tickets' purchasing, we are not responsible for the archaeological site's exhibits, nor for the fact that the tickets adhere to specific time slot. We hope you enjoyed our audio guide and hope to welcome you back again for another one experience with us! Best, Stephanie
