Simply fantastic! The Acropolis tour was simply fantastic. We were there in mid-January and the tourist crowds were manageable. Be sure to visit the Acropolis Museum afterwards. Only then is it a complete experience. Booking and service via Headout were reliable and perfect!

I loved the kindness of the staff on arrival. The Acropolis garden, but also the great theater, I loved the monuments and the sun reflected on the stone, the distinction between the color of the original stone and that of the restoration done by professionals.

    An excellent tour to see the city's main tourist attractions, accompanied by a brief explanation in your language. Good punctuality, the only thing that could be improved is the stop when leaving the archaeological museum, as it is not correctly located when returning to the center.

    Unfortunately the skip the line did not work and we were made to wait in the regular line for the acropolis entry. When we tried to use the hop on hop off bus ticket the driver would initially not accept the ticket. We were made to wait downstairs on the bus so he could see us the whole 20 minutes it took to get to a stop with a agent outside who then eventually was able to issue us paper tickets. This was not a pleasant experience and kind of spoilt it for us unfortunately. Again these are not necessarily headouts faults but there clearly is a issue with the expectations from the local companies you use not fully fulfilling the expectations of us the clients.

    Very punctual, clean, super convenient, friendly staff. This is a great way to see the sites in Athens central and down the coastlines. Ofcourse much cheaper than a taxi tour and gives you a good appreciation of the historic city.
