The Parthenon and Museum combo ticket is a really good choice. It's very practical and we were able to access the sites without queuing. I'd recommend it The museum is really splendid and very well organized and gives an idea of the grandeur of the details that we can't see on the actual Parthenon. The two visits complement each other extremely well

I traveled by myself so took time to view the exhibits as much and as little as I wanted. I preferred this to being told many facts and figures which I would have forgotten before I was out the door. I liked seeing some of the pieces in their stages of deterioration to remind me of how many eras and years they have been around to help me understand that great art has been with us throughout time.

We enjoyed the beauty of the history there! Being able to get tickets in the phone was great. The lady viewing our tickets was not very friendly & she held us while she let everyone in line behind us through. Then she helped us w/a simple resolve in our ticket view on the phone. But overall we would do it again given the opportunity!

We only had one day to visit the Acropolis as we had a 24 hour layover. The tickets to the Acropolis and the museum was a good combination for us to spend the day. Sadly, my companion did not walk very well, and the elevator was not in working order for tourist. We did manage the steps slowly much to the ire of the various tour groups that visited at the same time as us. as for the museum, it was nice to see some of the pieces that were returned from the British Museum, I do hope someday that the Acropolis can be returned to a condition prior to the damage done by the various "visitors" of the 19th century.

The Acropolis where the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Propylaea sits, are exquisite architecture of the Ancient Greek culture. The Acropolis Museum is an impressive modern architecture which complements the Acropolis and holds artifacts such as the Parthenon Frieze and the Caryatids.

Our guide was charming - without her we wouldn't understand even a quarter of what our eyes see. The excavation area under the museum also adds a lot and really takes you back 2000 years to see and feel the period and what was there. The archaeological findings are simply amazing. Especially in a cluster of archaeological and historical sites like this, I really recommend others take a guided tour - it's simply a different experience that's much better than traveling alone without guidance.

Our guide Alexia made the experience enjoyable. While she couldn't eliminate the heat or the climb, she mitigated these challenges by stopping frequently and in shady areas. She was very knowledgeable about the Acropolis and excavating techniques because she is a trained archeologist. The audio equipment worked very well and I heard everything despite us being in crowded places. I would highly recommend.

This was not really the vendor or Headout at fault, but I wanted to give further instructions to others so that they do not miss their tour like we did. DO NOT USE APPLE MAPS to find the ADDRESS given for the meeting spot. It lead us to the wrong part of town. Instead, USE GPS to find ATHENS WALKS. This will take you to the meeting spot, which turned out to be near Acropolis and near our hotel. Good luck- better luck.

I have to say that the whole experience has been very good. I bought the tickets without having read reviews of this app. When I then started to read, almost all negative, I got very nervous and wanted to cancel, and obviously , you could not. Honestly I was quite scared at the door thinking it was a scam, but I have to say that, both the app and the ticket system, it was all super easy and works great.

The acropolis itself was amazing. We personally found the museum underwhelming, lots of the same type of things making it all feel overwhelming. I also recommend rethinking the max capacity of the museum at any given time. It was difficult to navigate as there were so many crowds. It felt borderline overwhelming and unsafe if there we an emergency given the location of all the crowds.

Ask for John, and you will for sure have a great tour. We sure did.

We had a bit of a mix up with some of the tickets but we reached out and got a quick reply with a solution to the problem. The attractions were amazing (crowded but what can you do during top season 🤷). I would highly recommend using this service if you are in Athens and want to see the best attraction without having to wait in line and hassle with all the individual tickets.

a visit to the Acropolis and the magnificent museum, and the plus: a ticket that cuts the crowds. 2 days on a great bus to discover the city of Athens with as many stops as possible.

We booked with the MagaPass which in itself was great value. The problem however with the MegaPass is that they have a relationship with the partners that the bookings seem to only be made when we show up and SHOW the email confirmation. The Big Bus company were great. We Showed them the Pass and all went Well. HeadOut - Could not provide the Audio Guide on their App, so the Museum tour was lacking the Audio. Finally - Sights Of Athens (sightsofathens.gr) When we showed them the booking for our Corinth Tour said - Sorry Bus is full No Space, can sort you out on another day but since this was our last day, nothing could be done ...

Beautiful museum with beautiful content and the concept of how the museum has been built alone is incredible. Finally, a beautiful terrasse with incredible view on the Acropolis to stop for a coffe or refreshment.

Disastrous service! The general QR code didn't work anywhere! For the Hop on Hop off we didn't receive a specific code, and the info in the app wasn't specific enough for people of the Athens Sights brand. We wasted a lot of time trying to prove which company. Luckily I found a photo, and they finally gave us a ticket for only 24 hours. So we only had a Hop On Hop Off day, whereas the info on the site said 2 days. For the Museum, it wasn't clear that there were 2 tickets for the outside and inside of the Acropolis, including the Museum. Support is unreachable by phone in case of emergency. The phone line in FR did not work. The Acropolis tickets mention opening from 9am to Xam, whereas we also had a specific slot. Really unclear. Too many e-mails without clear and specific information.

We enjoyed the beauty of the history there! Being able to get tickets in the phone was great. The lady viewing our tickets was not very friendly & she held us while she let everyone in line behind us through. Then she helped us w/a simple resolve in our ticket view on the phone. But overall we would do it again given the opportunity!

I was great getting a local Athen view of Acropolis with entry tickets. Wear good comfortable shoes because the footing is uneven and can be slippery. The Acropolis with the museum is a long day and by the time we got to the museum, our group only had stamina for an hour in the museum.
