Choosing between a guided tour of the Acropolis or Delphi

Hello, We’re heading to Greece in April. We’ll only be in Athens for 2 days (we’re not big fans of big cities) and then doing a road trip to Delphi and the Peloponnese. We wanted to do a guided tour with a guide because our kids are really into ancient Greece. Initially, we were thinking of a guided tour of the Acropolis, but it seems complicated since the only day that works for us is Easter Monday. After some thought, we’re wondering if maybe a guided tour of Delphi would be better? Because the Acropolis already has lots of explanatory panels and is very well-documented, whereas Delphi might not be as much. Also, the only guided tours we found for the Acropolis are at 11:00–11:30 AM, which is exactly when it’s packed, and we try to avoid crowds (we were planning to visit the Acropolis as early as 9:00 AM). What do you think? Thanks in advance! Have a great day

Hi,

What do you think?

On Easter Monday at the Acropolis, you're going to have a crazy crowd, but trying to get in early is a good idea.

Hi there,

No, there aren’t many explanatory signs at the Acropolis. Plus, it’s crowded ALL the time now—even at opening at 8 AM. Maybe try at closing time. It’s odd you can’t find a guide. There are plenty of French-speaking guides, and they don’t get booked up that far in advance.
