Pre-booking the tickets saved us a great deal of team was very easy to book it with headout. We decided to an afternoon trip to see the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum, we didn't have to wait long to get in which was fantastic. Plenty of seats to rest as you go up, definitely have comfortable shoes, water and take your time going up as there is plenty to see. When you get to the top although there was a bit of a crowd most people were respectful and actually helped each other including taking photos for each other. Amazing view of the city. The museum is amazing again well curated. The roof top café in the the museum was amazing you a wonderful view of Acropolis and it's reasonable priced.

Our visit to the Acropolis was fantastic and the headout ticket and advice about our visit were such a help to us. Highlight was definitely taking in the ancient site and having it tower over the modern city below. The scale of Athens was on full display up there and it gave amazing context to the achievement of simply building the city up there all those years ago. The crowds were insane, however getting in before the final entry of the day meant we missed the worst of the crowds as everyone else was arriving for sunset as we were leaving. 10/10!!!

We purchased tickets in advance online and arrived shortly before our scheduled entry time. We waited for a short time to be allowed to enter (maybe 10 minutes). It was somewhat crowded at 5 pm, but the crowds were easy to navigate with and through. It did not affect our enjoyment. The site is amazing to see in person! You can see te entire city. Of Athens and surrounding areas out to the sea. We visited in mid June and it gets SUPER hot so prehydrate and everyone take water. There are spots you can sit and take rest breaks in a bit of shade.

    As someone deeply passionate about Ancient Greek history and mythology, visiting the Acropolis was nothing short of a pilgrimage. Arriving in the early evening offered a perfect balance: the golden light cast a soft, almost divine glow across the Parthenon and surrounding ruins, bringing the myths I’ve long studied vividly to life. The crowds were definitely present — a testament to the site’s global significance — but they didn’t feel overwhelming. There was enough space to pause, reflect, and even hear your own thoughts as you gazed over Athens, imagining the philosophers, poets, and gods who once filled these same hills with ideas and legends. Whether you’re a devoted classicist or just curious about Greece’s ancient heart, I can’t recommend the early evening slot enough. The light, the breeze, the energy — it all makes the Acropolis feel not like a ruin, but a living piece of history.

    All went super. The ticket app worked perfectly. I was worried when a review said it was a scam. No idea what they did but all was absolutely fine
