Highly recommend combining the Acropolis with the museum! It also saves waiting time because you can skip the line. Nothing to comment on.

My expectation was to receive a guide for Acropolis, but I received one for Plaka. In this case, the audio guide was not so helpful.

Very easy got tickets to enter at the time we wanted and had a great morning at the Acropolis. Walked the street to lunch then spent the afternoon at the museum. Skipping the buy tickets line really helped get us in there fast

Dealing with Headout has been an easy experience. The downloaded tickets were easy to use and passing through the entrance of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum was fast and hassle free. We booked the 8am to 9am Acropolis timeframe and it was packed. Maybe everyone thinks the early time slot will be less crowded but now I'm not convinced. The Acropolis Museum was so crowded by midday we had to leave. I hate to imagine the crowds when the tourist season really begins as we were there mid May. Given that, they are both exceptional attractions and I would recommend you watch any videos showing in the museum as they are very interesting and informative.

Explore ancient Greek history

The Acropolis is a stunning Athenian temple complex located on a rocky outcrop above the city. Stop by the ruins of legendary structures like the Propylaea, the entrance to the ancient temple of Parthenon. Dedicated to Athena, the Parthenon’s main function was to shelter the monumental statue of Athena that was made by Pheidias out of gold and ivory.

Temples in the Acropolis

Wander across the once-sacred halls of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus will leave you in awe. The large amphitheater was built in AD 161 by wealthy Roman Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife Regilla and is still used to this day for concerts and other events. You have the option to include a mobile audio guide in case you're looking to add some insights to your tour.
