Walking up to the Acropolis and seeing the Parthenon up close for the first time was unforgettable. The views over Athens were breathtaking, and the whole site felt truly powerful and historic. The audio guide service was very helpful and easy to use: it explained the main landmarks clearly and gave great context in my mother tongue so I didn’t feel lost while exploring. It definitely made the experience more complete. Highly recommended!

The Acropolis Museum is absolutely outstanding and a must-visit in Athens. The architecture itself is stunning—modern, elegant, and perfectly designed to highlight the ancient treasures inside. The glass floors revealing archaeological remains beneath your feet add a unique and unforgettable touch. The exhibits are beautifully curated, with clear explanations and a logical flow that makes the history easy to understand, even if you’re not an expert. Seeing the Parthenon sculptures displayed with natural light and a direct view of the Acropolis is truly breathtaking and emotionally powerful. The museum is spacious, well organized, and never feels overwhelming. The top-floor gallery is a highlight, and the café offers a wonderful place to relax with incredible views. Overall, this museum perfectly blends history, art, and modern design—one of the best museums I’ve ever visited.

Beautiful places, tour organized really well despite the strikes going on in Greece, guide super nice and knowledgeable about places, available for any questions. Only flaw, if by chance you don't want to eat in an "obligatory" place bring food from home both for lunch and dinner

It all started with a great pick-up right at the landing stage of our ship. When we got off the boat, we saw the bus just leaving. A quick call from the driver of the next bus and the first bus drove back a few meters and we were allowed to ride along. All the transfers to the next buses also went very smoothly. Thank you very much!

The experience with Headout was just awesome! Timely pick up, driver George was a good spirited guy and our guide Maria had quite the Greek delivery of the stories sorrounding The Meteora 😂. I am retelling some of the stories in her tone 😁 I have posted so many photos but I keep telling my friends back in Kenya, the deeply felt experiences are exactly those I could not capture on camera 🤷🏽‍♀️ Poli orea! Telio!! Fantastico!!!

Other than the fact that the whole trip was more than comfortable and both of the drivers were extremely good, the guide Mrs Riki was born for this job! Super explanatory and caring, as well as kind and approachable
