Hop on hop off interesting over 1 day, but not 2, as there was too much waiting at certain stops ... we preferred to return from glyfada by tram/metro (€1.90/pers). Cape Sounion is a great way to round off a day, but don't forget the 20€/pers for access to Poseidon's temple and ... the sunset is pretty, even if it's everywhere in the world!

The sunset at the cape was breathtaking. Although quite cold due to the wind.

It was a lovely painless expierence. The ticketing app worked well and we breezed through to the main event. We have a 7 year old and the pacing and movement of the venue worked well for him

With a little research/ reading about the area and then using the recorded tour, I had a great experience and walked away well learned. I also saved some money in regards to a $100 tour to use in other areas of the city.....for more delicious food! God knows those calories will stay with me longer than my memories. That is why I take a lot of pictures. 😹

My trip to Athens lasted only 3 days, but it was outstanding! We visited the Ancient Agora during the morning on the first day and the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sunius from mid-afternoon until evening. Tickets to the Acropolis included everything from the Parthenon to the Theater of Dionysus. As for the tour to the Temple of Poseidon, it was outstanding! From the super nice and helpful guide, to the comfortable bus ride of about 2 hours to the wonderful sight of the temple on the promontory. It was windy, both at the Acropolis and Cape Sunio. There were many people at both places, the Acropolis and the Temple of Poseidon being the most visited monuments in all of Greece. For the Acropolis, I highly recommend going very early, such as 8 o'clock or arriving as early as half an hour before the opening, otherwise you will find a lot of tourists as happened to me. As for the service in general, it is really great and fun! I highly recommend this ticket!

The Acropolis was amazing. Booked the earliest session which was the best time. The hoo on and hoo off bus was seem less and let us explore so much of Athens at very little cost. The whole process was so easy and stress free.

Although lift was not working and I mobility problems, the staff were exceptionally helpful, enabling us to jump queue. We took it slowly resting when we could. But was so worth it amazing.

I loved everything about the easiness of booking it, the place was not crowded. It was very warm and I found the audiobook very helpful. I also like the sunset but you have to buy extra ticket for the temple of Poseidon

Very much. A very complete service and practical tour, which makes it special to know comfortably the area of most tourist interest. It would be more interesting if it was extended to a night tour.

An unforgettable journey through history! The Acropolis tour was a perfect blend of breathtaking views, ancient wonders like the Parthenon and Erechtheion, and insightful storytelling from our guide. We chose the 6 pm time slot, and it was perfect, was not too crowded. Standing atop Athens, surrounded by ruins and mythology, made it truly magical. A must-do experience for anyone visiting the city!

I arrived to the Acropolis at 7.30 a.m for my 8a.m booking. There are various shop type stalls around to purchase water, drinks, food etc... water is 50cent for a 500ml bottle which is very reasonable. There is a toilet at the entrance, underground which I recommend using because there are no toilets or they are out of service once you enter. The toilet is free but it is recommend to give a small tip for upkeep. Entering the Acropolis was easy. The queue does get large but if you have a pre booked ticket you'll be fine and in quickly. You can buy tickets on the day but that is a slower process. Probably only ideal if you need a student discount. Going early is essential in my opinion as it was still warm, sunny but the UV is much lower. Despite this I needed to top up my sunscreen as you do spend approx 1-2 hours there and that is just walking up and down, getting photos and reading all about the Acropolis. You get great views of the city and an excellent historical education and appreciation as you walk around the Acropolis. There is a lack of shade so be prepared for that.

Was a great experience . Although it was very hot I managed to climb up the track to see the beautiful acropolis in all its beauty. I have been to it before on my last trip to Athens 7 years ago but needed to go again. Was just magical and also the view of Athens. It is one my most favourite cities!!!! And the hop in and off bus was great too. Also off at the Olympic stadium which was so cool to see :)

Booking through Headout made the amazing Acropolis visit effortless! It was a great experience in such a historical monument at the middle of the high season. The combo hop-on hop-off bus was great too : clean, friendly staff offered great tips, and the audio guide enriched our trip. Highly recommend for a smooth Athens adventure!

What a great experience to see the sights and hear the commentary and to be able to use it for 2 days- one price. Really worth doing. We even went to the Glyfada beach as well as the acropolis, syntygma sq, monstiaki restaraunts, change of the guards and the Plaka .

Fantastic experience! The bus is located directly at the Piraeus port exit, frequency about 30 minutes. Allows you to see the Acropolis on your own, with digital skip-the-line tickets and cross the Red Line to the center of the capital. Practical, fast, inexpensive for families with children who want an experience with flexible pace.

Everything is great !!! The guide Maria is very nice in her work, she speaks many languages and that's great, the stop at the restaurant cafe "Camino " for dinner , their pizza is delicious. The food at "Eufrosino" is very tasty, recommendable to buy Tour with food included. The Monasteries are spectacular, heavy walking to get to some of them, but worth it, wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes. A tour not to be missed if you travel to Greece.

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.

Just being able to see and touch a part of history was awesome. It was very crowded but because we bought tickets for the 8 AM entry we were able to see everything before the temperatures got too hot. It was a long walk but worth it.

Everything is fine, but I would have put a ventilator on the top rows, as in the front it si too hot and no windows open. So a small ventilator would do a great job.

Perfect way of seeing as much as possible if you stay one day in Athens. One of the line was without rooftop at the upper level at the middle of a hot day. Very challenging. You can move to the lower AC part but there is no such a view. Not all the players for audio guide are working. Sometimes the audio guide is not very sinnchronised don't is not clear what/where to look.

The schedules of the Costa line are wrong. At 3:47 p.m. it stops at Glifada City Center, at 4:03 p.m. at Glifada, and then at 4:40 p.m. Glifada City Center. Not having real-time visibility on the runs, especially those out of town, is a problem.
