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!

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.

Incredible but here's why - go first thing 8am and during shoulder season Is a real gem! Save the cup of coffee for after because there are no drinks other than water allowed and there are great breakfast spots on the way out! The sunrise is stellar and less crowd means better photos and better views. Bring a jacket in September October as it's chilly that early but definitely work it!

The life is magnificent and the ruins grandiose! It's been 17 years since our first visit, but this is a must-see in Athens! Well-preserved site and efficient organization. It was crowded, but that's to be expected. For a more intimate visit, prefer the morning slots, and it's useful to book in advance.
