More of a history of the gods than a tour of the ruins. Better to read a book about the gods and look in from the outside. It’s €20 to get inside to the construction site. We didn’t do this

I feel deeply disappointed with my experience related to the Temple of Zeus visit. I purchased what I believed to be official entrance tickets through Treevisor. However, upon arriving at the site, I was shocked to find out that what I had actually paid for was only an audio guide — not valid entrance tickets. This was never made clear during the purchasing process, and the way the product was presented was extremely misleading. As a result, I had to buy new entrance tickets for both myself and my child at the gate, which turned out to be quite expensive. The overall experience was frustrating and felt like a scam. I trusted this platform to deliver what was promised, and instead, it led to confusion and additional costs. I hope this feedback helps prevent others from going through the same situation.

The self guided tour was the best for our group. We loved the freedom to see it ourselves. Do some research before you go and it is a great time.

Would highly recommend this audio tour, it gives great information that you would not get going alone, and is thorough without paying for a group tour.

So much history in a nutshell. The temple was beautiful and the stories of the audio guide made me travel back in time.

Wonderful! I didn't use the audio guide. There are explanatory signs on site and today the internet helps us with accessibility to all information! It's very worth the visit!

It can be avoided. Very little remains of the temple of Zeus, a couple of columns and boulders everywhere. In fact, they sell you skip-the-line tickets but it was just us who got in. Must see the Acropolis and then that's it.

Der Sprecher liest Geschichten vor. Wir hatten uns fundiertere Informationen zur Location erwartet. Da reicht es auch, wenn man die aufgestellten Schilder liest.
