Entrance to many major sites such as the Acropolis and museums is not included and requires separate admission tickets, which you can purchase in advance or on the day of your tour. The driver guide provides commentary during transfers and at panoramic viewpoints but may not accompany you inside archaeological sites due to local regulations unless a licensed guide is arranged. The sequence of stops may vary depending on traffic conditions, your interests, and the chosen itinerary duration. Comfortable walking shoes and a charged smartphone or tablet are recommended for optional audio guides and viewing informational PDFs provided by the operator.
