Regarding the tour to the Temple of Poseidon. It is beautiful, it is worth to get this pack to see it. It is in the afternoon of course, but seeing the temple and the views is beautiful. It made me fall in love with Greece even more. The tour guide was very nice, charming at all times and super patient with all travelers. He was always looking out for us. Regarding the Parthenon it is a must see, you can't leave Athens without seeing it before. The organization is not bad, but it is better to go in advance. We did not have to wait in line, but I imagine that if you go in high season things change. I hope you find my review useful, I wish you a good trip 😊

Skipping the line and getting to the Acropolis early was great and super easy. We were able to go slow with our grandmother and enjoy all the sites on the hill. It was so busy when we were leaving I'm glad we got in early. The bus was okay. It took a very long time to show up and there was confusion at the interchange about which bus was going where. We missed our bus to the beach because of this. One of the drivers was also not giving people enough time to get off at the stops so many people missed their location. The staff at the interchange did well at organizing cruise participants though. We were not on a cruise but noticed they were helpful.

The whole experience was mind blowing so much history and the view is picturesque. I highly recommend going early in the morning. We took the 8 am tickets and by 9 am the sun was scorching. The booking with headput was easy. However I think the instruction for the Acropolis should simply mention redemption tickets at main entrance rather than south slope as even our taxi driver had no idea about south slope. We met other people that had booked with headput and they found it confusing too. Other then that I recommend headput and a visit to the Acropolis for sure!

Save big with this super-saver combo as you visit to the Museum of Illusions and the world-famous Acropolis & Parthenon.

At the Museum, 15 illusionary exhibits like the Kaleidoscope, Vortex Tunnel, and Infinity Room will completely blow your mind away.

Don’t miss out on the Infinity Tunnel which seems to defy gravity –

you'll feel like you're walking through a bottomless pit!

Visit the ancient Acropolis and the temple of Parthenon with a multilingual audio guide, and fully take in the architectural beauty of ancient Greece.

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus – an amphitheater built in 161 AD and which still holds concerts today – will surely leave you in awe.

Fun Fact: In the 6th century, Christians converted the temples of the Acropolis into churches and the Parthenon became a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

The sights on both parts of the combo were breath taking. No problems with the tickets, only issues I had were a miscommuntication to me when purchasing the tickets, was originally told pickup would be at my hotel but was later told (after purchase) that had to go to a meeting point, which was an added expense to me. Headout did provide a future credit for the miscomunication on their part as they attempted to resolve the issue. Additionally, there was confusion on the first part of the combo (Acropolis) as it mentioned a meeting point, but there was no guide, we had to show the tickets at the entrance so we were standing around looking for a guide from the vendor. Only only part was the tour for Temple of Poseidon, it was not a true guided tour, they just drove us to/from the site, no tour info was really provided, but was otherwise a nice trip, just be aware this combo is more self-guided than guided.

Amazing experience! The Acropolis is rich in history and very well preserved, just beautiful to explore, learn about and admire. The views of Athens from above are also remarkable. The booking process with Headout was super quick and easy, no issues with the tickets or meeting spot. We went at the 1pm timeslot, which I usually wouldn't do as its known to be busy but we hoped in October it wouldn't be so bad - and it was alright! Definitely busy but the lines moved quickly and you still had space! The lines moved quickly (immediately started letting people in at 12.45pm) and before we knew it we were in! The audioguide of the Acropolis would've been worth the extra few euros to make it mor engaging but there are lots of informative signs around! We got lucky with sound testing at the ampitheatre too!

Everything about the experience was just surreal. I’ve always had a huge love for Greek mythology, so actually being there and seeing it all in person felt like a dream come true. Walking through the ancient sites, imagining all the stories that took place there it honestly gave me goosebumps. The guided tour made it even better; they shared so many cool facts, myths, and little details I never would’ve known on my own. It wasn’t just a visit, it felt like stepping right into history.

Visiting the Acropolis was absolutely incredible. The history and architecture are breathtaking, and seeing it in person gave me a real sense of how advanced and artistic ancient Greece was. The views of Athens from the top are stunning, especially around sunset. Everything was well organized, clean, and easy to navigate with clear signage and helpful staff. It’s one of those places that truly lives up to the hype — you can feel the history in every step.

1100 entry was a good time to go - well managed numbers and not too hot. We were warned about the steep access - the walk ways are well marked, sturdy and supported with hand rails. allow min 1 hour obtained parthenon and another hour the see the rest of the sites. Good transport on the 3 main hop on hop off bus routes. An easy walk back down to enjoy the old town. A good day out easy walk down to the old tie.
