Acropolis Museum Guided Tours

The best guided tour EVER! Our tour guide was Victor, and besides his vast knowledge on all things Acropolis and Greek history in general, he also has a great sense of humor and truly understands his work.

We went on my birthday. I've always been into history and I thought it was amazing to be able to walk through an actually archaeological dig site! It's been a dream to participate in one. There was so much information, I could've spent all day there! The hike to the top of the acropolis brought tears to my eyes once we reached the summit. It's amazing that this was built without modern technology or tools. I would love to go back again

We visited in June and had an incredible experience at the Acropolis and Museum. The weather was perfect, the crowds were manageable and obviously the site was awe-inspiring. Our guide Elizabeth was fantastic. She is an archeologist with a special interest in architecture. Her knowledge of the Acropolis and history enhanced the tour. She loved questions...and we asked tons. She was able to engage both the teens and my elderly parents. She stealthily guided us to the top of the Acropolis which my 80 year old parents did not think they could do! She was the BEST. Thanks!

This was such an amazing experience. It was very hot, so make sure you take your water and maybe a hat. We went a little early so we had to wait. Just be mindful that they only let you in based on the time you booked. So, if you go early you will have to wait in the heat until it's your time to go in. Other than that, it was a great experience.

Seeing the original statues from the Athena Nike Temple in the museum was a highlight. Also fantastic video that outlined the history of the site and the metropoles and architecture.

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.

Nice museum, but the direction of the visit wasn't clearly explained and we got a bit lost. Unpleasant staff Nice relic !!! Air-conditioned so pleasant

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.

It was an amazing experience. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and very patient. The views are spectacular and the museum is beautiful. All in all well worth the money and a must do experience. Thank you me and my daughter had a fabulous day

Vicki was an amazing guide! She is extremely knowledgable, kind, and friendly. We could not have asked for a better person to show us the Acropolis. This was a tour of a lifetime! Thank you so much, Vicki!!!

The highlight of my visit was our fantastic guide Michaelis! He was captivating; highly professional and enthusiastic , sympathetic,knowledgeable and very entertaining. We have learned so much and could not get enough! A must for firsttimers on the Akropolis....

Skipping the line for entry was the best. The website was very easy to use and the tickets worked without a glitch. Your prices were fair too. Will use Headout again.

The venue is magnificent, a historical presentation with a visual backdrop of the acropolis. Thanks to advance ticket purchase, there's no waiting at the entrance. Great!

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 excellent! She covered the history, mythology and practical construction of the things we saw. I only wish it could have been longer. Very well done.

Incredible, we passed quickly and the audio guides were very explanatory. Congratulations!

Everything was just amazing! So much to see and so much history. I loved it

Fantastic and informative guide. Amazing site and so much history.

Fantastic guide. I learnt so much.

Lovely museum. Very informative. Lovely environment.

Ease of purchase and speed of the process.

Everything is parfsit the experience is worth it full of beautiful things

It was all amazig, it is the place you just need to see in your life

Had a great time. Live time of memories

Avoided the queue Autonomy in organization Excellent audio guide and historical documentation Superconducted

The guided tour was very well organized. Our guide Elisavet was very knowledgeable and very friendly and helpful. We have learned so much in the few hours tour of the Acropolis and the Museum. We are highly recommending the guided tour. She knew exactely where to stop and always did a headcount to make sure everyone was there. Amazing experience!

Visiting the Acropolis Museum was an awe-inspiring experience- like stepping into the soul of ancient Greece. The carefully curated artifacts, marble masterpieces, and immersive storytelling brought to life the grandeur of a civilization I had only admired through books and lectures. Being fascinated by Greek mythology and philosophy, it was surreal to finally see the Parthenon sculptures and artifacts in person-each piece whispering tales of gods, heroes, and timeless ideas. It’s more than a museum; it’s a philosophical journey carved in stone and light!

We had five people in our group. 3 adults and two children (ages 8 and 12). Two of the adults were over 65 years of age. Yet, we paid full price for all five people, because there was no provision to enter such information when buying the tickets. After having completed the wonderful 3-day tour of the Peloponnese with you, this felt like a letdown!

Wonderful experience. I took the latest slot. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful and funny. Wish it wasn't under construction but its a great reason to go back again one day when it is not. The views were great, the crowds moved quickly and I didn't feel there was a lot of wait time anywhere. Great team that keeps this place running!

The story is well told. The starting point should be better marked. Why not put up signs like in a museum? Not everyone can read a map.

This was such an amazing experience. It was very hot, so make sure you take your water and maybe a hat. We went a little early so we had to wait. Just be mindful that they only let you in based on the time you booked. So, if you go early you will have to wait in the heat until it's your time to go in.

Nice museum, but the direction of the visit wasn't clearly explained and we got a bit lost. Unpleasant staff Nice relic !!! Air-conditioned so pleasant

Booking tickets in adcance was very worth it. I was on a cruise and got into Athens centre at about 9.30. By tbe time we had walked up the hill to the ticket office they were selling tickets for the 1pm entry as all earlier tickets had sold out.

Michael was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable but added a good bit of humour. The organisation of the tour was great we met at the shop before and prepared our headsets. There was plenty of opportunity for a water break and a stop in the shade. Thanks Michael for a good tour!

We went right in the morning at 8, and got in line about 7:30 to ensure we'd be there before major crowds and the sun, and super glad we did! We spent about an hour and enjoyed looking at all the ruins.

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.

Just walking the whole historical site was amazing and admiring the age of it. Did not realize how high up it actually sat.

Easy service to use and get in with. Wish we would have prepared ourselves better with the audio. The experience even on a 90+ degree day was still epic. Make sure you take a water in with you.

Everything except the Sun and heat but we were aware of that and ready for it. Getting around was pretty easy and the temples are great, magnificent and the marble looks smazing in the sun.

As a history lover , I was able to immerse myself in what the Acropolis once was. I didn't get the audio guide , perhaps I should have however , there's information everywhere with pictures and fragments to give you the great historical experience . Views of the city also amazing !

Meravigliosa esperienza. Tutto perfetto consiglio scarpe comode cappello e protezione solare. Il sito è conservato benissimo Audio guida in italiano molto utile e dettagliata per la città vecchia ricca di monumenti,chiese e edifici storici

The Acropolis itself is spectacular, it is a millenary place and incredible! It would be very useful the audio guide to learn and understand where you are and what is what but it was good the tickets with no line and no problem to redeem them. The tourist bus is good for people who dedicate the time we had no problem using it but we did not have time so next time I do not buy it because I did not use it. To improve the location of the stops in piraeus and glyfada, we could never find them.

I booked my ticket late, so this was a great way to secure an 8am entry when the tickets had sold out on the official site. I was visiting alone and so the audio guide was a perfect way for me to wander as I wished and learn alot about the site, which I found alot easier to digest than the info boards. The audio guide was easy to navigate and the map useful to locate yourself, and full of great historical facts.

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.

Amazing experience. Very little information or support re queueing on arrival but once we had sussed it out all went well.

Good atmosphere, from the audience. It would be nice if there were a few more information boards. The kiosk wanted €7.50 for a pack of pringels which is extortionate. The general prices were very high, but this exceeded that.

The package is worth it, especially because it includes the entrance to the Acropolis and watching the sunset at the temple of Poseidon is beautiful. What I think is confusing is the beginning of the tour. We waited at the appointed place 15 minutes before our time and no one showed up. Then we went to exchange tickets and entered the Acropolis but we missed the first part of the tour.

The electron tickets were very easy to use. Great communication. The Acropolis was a great day out and getting round Athens on the open top bus made it easy to go everywhere. We went around the city and down the coast.

Crow de were very busy and slow at 9am, hear at that point was extremely hot. Doesn't seem to be any real procedure in place to deal with the crowds.

The pick-up points were clear, uncluttered and precise, so there was nothing to report on that score. The sites we visited were magnificent and well worth the detour - and the weather was just right too 😍. The only negative point was the temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. We had the (less pleasant) surprise to discover, once there, that we had to add €20 from our own pocket to gain access to the site. This point should be mentioned more clearly in the advert! Having said that, our guide was adorable, which helped us get over the hump 😊. In conclusion: a great day out, definitely worth doing again! But the details regarding entrance fees really should be better specified, for example: "Tickets for the temple of Poseidon are not included." Thank you for a memorable experience.

We loved seeing the acropolis and exploring it. Our guide Maria was absolutely wonderful. It was a super hot day and she kept her passion going

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.

It was amazing after many years of wanting to visit it was everything and more the guide was very knowledgable and it would not have been the same without him

Our guide made this the best visit to the Acropolis that I have experienced. She was clear and extremely informative. She was careful to stop in the shade whenever possible.

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.

Not very informative tour... just showing us what each monument is... no history or storytelling and guide wasn't great at answering questions

The tour was amazing. Our guide, John the archaeologist was fabulous. He gave the right amount of detail and was so knowledgeable about the artifacts in the museum as well as the acropolis. He kept us moving, but made sure that we had time to see every important aspect. We could have never seen so much or grasp all the history and facts on our own. Ask for John, and you will for sure have a great tour. We sure did.

Our guide was excellent. To tour the Acropolis museum and the Parthenon without a competent guide would be impossible to accomplish in 3.5 hours - if one hopes to really understand the chronological history. While it is physically challenging, it was extremely educational and fulfilling.

It was very organized. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I appreciated hire well she handled the crowds and time

The tour timing was not accurately depicted. We were late for a tour we booked after that one because the tour guide moved very slowly, took breaks, and it did not begin at 9am as expected.

Keep the group together and do not start telling the story of an object before the whole group is in front of it. It is a lot of visitors and crowded so it is difficult for everyone to be close to the guide all the time.

John "The Archeogist" did a great job !!! He hás much knowledge about Greek -me Acrópoles History !!! I was a very rich experience !!!

There is no point trying to desribe the sheer glory of the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum (which is fantastic!) in mere words. Understanding this period of ancient Greece through sculpture and town planning is essential for understanding Europe, even today.

What an incredible experience it was to return to the Acropolis! Seeing the museum for the very first time, especially with such an engaging and insightful guide, made it all the more thrilling. The history and beauty of the place truly came alive!

The guide was what made the visit so memorable. Excellent English and very well informed but also very charming. Full marks!

Our tour guide Eleni was PHENOMENAL. It was extremely busy during our visit but she ensured that we all had adequate time for photos and had an overall good experience .
