Easy peasy - This was a perfect way to avoid the lines and go at your own pace. There was a little bit of a line at the gate but it moved quickly. Tickets came tight to the email and I downloaded just in case I had no reception there. I had no issues.

Informative tours - Overall the tours were informative and worth hearing. There were a few problems however. The address for the starting point of the acropolis tour is completely wrong. Sometimes the directions from one monument to the next were also confusing. Finally, there were too many "stories" that went with certain monuments, while other monuments (in the Agora, for example) were completely skipped. I would rather know a little bit about every monument rather than multiple stories about only certain sites.

Time slot confusion. - I thought I had reserved the earliest time slot but ended up with 1 pm. It was the day before Easter Sunday and it was very crowded.

Dissatisfied with my experience but we did ultimately gain access - After waiting in line because there were no options. Identified for skip the line we were told our tickets had already been used. They were not going to let us enter. I assume it was because the line was long and we arrived at the gate after the appointed time. A bit of clarification on how to use the skip the line option would have been helpful…

Viator provited little... - Viator provited little details about how to get the tickets. They send an email with the tickets at 8:15 when the tour was schedule for 8:00. Overprice tickets charging 50 euros for a 30 euro tour. I will advice to buy the tours directly from the acropolis website.
