The experience itself was ok. But I booked (via google ) a ticket for the akropolis MUSEUM. Then in the end it turned out to be a ticket for the Acropolis (where we already went to a couple of days before. Then I called Headout. They said they were not responsible for a refund, I should call key tours. (I had bought several tickets at key tours before so I thought they would help (for hundreds of euro's). Then Key tours said they were not responsible so I should get back to Head out. At Head out I got a number from Key tours in de UK and the USA. When I started calling I thought this would cost me a lot more money on telephone bills so I stopped. We decided then to go to the acropolis for a second time. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The visit itself was absolutely amazing. Getting the tickets on line that morning was easy but I had trouble getting the audio tour via the app.
Nevertheless we were able to read a lot of information on the boards dotted around the site.

We arrived around 10 o'clock and it was not too dangerous, whether because when we rolled up the hill, eventually sat-sat ipo, there were a few tourists waiting for the hill... It is best to buy tickets online.

My experience at the Acropolis was good, I only point out that the audio guide was not for touring the Acropolis but for touring the Plaka neighborhood, in English (very close to the Acropolis).
If you have time and know English I recommend it because it shows places that I would not have visited by my own means and it was useful because I did not take any tour.
The experience to the temple of Poseidon was very good, as it was punctual, the bus that took us was well equipped (there was wifi and space to charge the phones) and we had audio guides for the tour to Cape Sounion.

Highly recommended and no defects! Everything went excellently. On this excursion we used the south gate as our entrance which was great because we were able to see the Dionysus Theater first and then the Acropolis. The excursion was really worth the money and I recommend using their service.

It was simple.
The closing time of the Acropolis was not clear. When we arrived there we were informed that the Acropolis closed at 5:00 p.m., so having booked for 4:00 p.m. we had little time for a thorough visit.

My friends and I enjoyed the fact that we booked and entered by the time we reserved which makes easier to walk around and contemplate the sites.
That was a good way to explore the area!

Since the negative aspects that we encounter on the Hop On Hop Off bus are not mentioned above, I would like to use this space to mention our 'not so favourable' issues.
The audio on our bus was not at all good. It was as though the connection in our earphones was at fault, but on moving seats and getting new earbuds, we could tell that the fault was definitely in the sound system itself. Very crackly and very muffled.
The seats on the bus were far too small for two people to sit on but the seats were very limited in number. We sat downstairs as the bus was full upstairs. With my husband and I in the seat, I was literally sitting with my bottom on the windowsill of the bus. Not very comfortable at all, and it resulted in me getting a nasty bruise on my thigh. We sat on the bus for about 4 stops until we decided to get off as I we were so uncomfortable. Some people from our group were actually forced to sit on a parcels shelf at the back of the bus, just so that they had somewhere to sit!
We had the tickets for a two day pass but after less than a half day, we never got back on.
This was the biggest disappointment and waste of money for our whole two weeks holiday.
We did take advantage of the 10% discount on the Acropolis and Parthenon tickets and we thoroughly loved every bit of this self guided tour.
I do not however, recommend this particular HOHO bus operator at all. Perhaps there are better ones, but it was a big expense and it did not live up to expectations at all.

It's practical for getting to the cruise port, but this company was the most disorganized, with the guides giving contradictory information. There were few buses to get back, which meant that we arrived at the boat very late.

Re the audio guide, I bought Akropolis tickets, so expected Akropolis audio guide. Instead, it was the MUCH cheaper guide for sites I had visited already. Also, going first day of lower off-season prices was a mistake - many did the same so crowds were HUGE.

We went relatively early, before 09:00 hrs and until 10:00 hrs, we could walk around and admire the whole Acropolis without any inconvenience, then, after 10:00 hrs. the amount of people and agglomeration was such that we had to leave the place.

The hoho bus driver with sight seeing tours did not accept our vouchers and did not allow us on the bus. We missed the acropolipse tour . 20 min later a guide from another tour company explained to the same driver when he returned on his route that we should be allowed entry. However it was too late as we missed the last tour of the day. Fortunately we got there the next day and the skip the line tickets saved quite a bit of time.

Akropolis is great.
The communication with headout was perfect.
Especially the additional directions were great.
Any time again!

When booking, I was told that the tickets would be sent to my email address. This was not the case, I had to download the Headout app. Very stupid, as I don't trust the app. And the ticket prices were far too expensive. On site, an adult ticket only costs €20.

My visit to Acropilis was amazing. I went by myself around 5pm. The views were absolutely breathtaking although it was a little crowded. Nonetheless, I got some great photos and people offered to take photos for me. However, I never received the audio equipment. When I arrived at the ticket window, someone pointed me in the directed to get my ticket scanned. I was never offered audio equipment.

We were really impressed by the acropolis. The walking routes were well laid out and the boards informative. Incredible restoration work has been done since I last saw the Parthenon 25 years ago!
I would highly recommend visiting. Staff were also helpful and queues managed effectively.

Acropolis is unbeatable, a must in Athens.
Completely smooth process, audio guide not clearly recognizable how it works, reference to original ticket confusing

Great experience to see this ancient wonder, we opted to visit the Akropolis first thing in the morning at 8am which was perfect as the crowds were still small the weather was nice but cool and after we finished exploring it was only 10am so plenty of time to do other things during the day, highly recommend and of course you can't be in Athens and don't visit Akropolis so you really don't have a choice but to do it! Well at least I believe so, it is worth it definitely as you can literally feel the energy when you are there.

Good morning, Sir or Madam,
Thank you for conducting this satisfaction survey.
Unless I'm mistaken, the ticket is sold as "Acropolis and Parthenon with audio guide".
However, on my e-ticket, the audio guide to download was "Exploring PLAKA: the old town of Athens."
I looked for the audio guide for the Acropolis, but it was not free.
I continued my visit without an audio guide.
The staff on site are professional and welcoming.
Best regards,
Imad
