Visiting the Acropolis and the museum was one of the best experiences ever. The line for both were short (due to them being online tickets) and everything felt smooth. Just read the instructions and enjoy!

The buses were always on time, and we never had to wait more than a few minutes; the staff at the stops were super friendly; there were comfortable headphones to listen to some historical commentary on the various sites; the buses were clean; and the price for a day of exploring Athens was really affordable. It’s the perfect way to avoid getting overwhelmed by the different transportation options and get a great overview of the city without getting tired.

I live in Athens and my little kid wanted to have a tour with an open bus so I chose Headout to take us around Athens listening in Greek language. We visited both Athens and Piraeus and we were both fascinated, nice tour, good explanations, friendly people.
