I am heading over to Greece in late February. I am wondering if I am better off having a personal guide of the Acropolis. I know you can get one at the gate, but can you recommend hiring one in advance. I read your pocket guide and it was mentioned, but I never reference to it.

Rick Steves has a great free audio tour of the Acropolis that you can use.

The most important thing you can do is be there right when it opens. The crowds become staggering as the day goes on.

Warning scam ---- DO NOT use athenstickets.org
These ppl are a TOTAL SCAM. Please do not bother booking thru this site; they are absolute THIEVES.
Booked through their site looking for 8:00 AM Acropolis tour and as a "convenience" because they were unable to honor my time booked me for 11:00 AM. I requested twice to be refunded via link provided. Then because there was no response I followed up with an email. They claimed that because they sent me the tickets no refund was possible. Had to go to AMEX to open a dispute to get my $$ back.
