Review of Athens Ancient Agora e-ticket and audio tour, with practical tips on entry, routes, democracy, museum stops, price, and value.
“If you get a guide and hear the stories you will benefit so much more than just walking around with your guide book. Do this early in the morning or as late in the afternoon as you can so you’re not slowly walking around in the heat. The museum is good- and air conditioned! I thought the best story was Samuel the Cobbler and his relationship to Socrates.”

Explore Frankfurt’s historic center at your own pace with a 5.7 km puzzle tour linking the Alte Oper, Römer, and Imperial Cathedral.
“Comodo il collegamento a Google Maps per raggiungere l’attrazione successiva. Le spiegazioni però sono molto basiche e piuttosto brevi. Avrei preferito contenuti più approfonditi e dettagliati, magari con qualche curiosità o aneddoto interessante. Nel complesso mi aspettavo qualcosa di più. Detto questo, per il prezzo che si paga (7€) è veramente basso, quindi nel complesso il rapporto qualità-prezzo resta comunque buono.”
