Headout's service was good, although the tickets were quite expensive for what it really is. The temple of Zeus is one of the largest temples of the ancient world, however, you can save the money and see it from the outside. It can be seen in the same way, but you would lose the remains of the marble foundations of other temples (not so necessary to see).

The Acropolis was a beautiful piece of history. It’s rich connections to ancient Greece and the ancient Greek gods makes it an informational and interesting visit. But even if you’re not interested in learning it is still a must see when visiting Athens as you don’t have to be interested in the story to appreciate the cover. The line was practically non existent and we didn’t have to wait to enter anything, despite this there were plenty of people at the actual sites, but this did not present an issue for us. Whilst toured guides are obviously informative we personally did not use one, the Acroplolis was easy to navigate and we read the boards near the individual sites for information. Overall, it was the highlight of our trip and we would absolutely go again. Would recommend to anyone visiting the ancient city.

Convenience of having 6 sites under one ticket. What I would change is to have tickets that can appear in Apple wallet. Also the booking disappears from current bookings day after Acropolis even though tickets are valid for a few days at other sites.

The ticketing and meeting point was organized. Our tour guide was very informative and professional. I honestly would have preferred to just listen to her lessons first, and then go on my own to the acropolis and museum. It was simply too crowded and too large of a group to be fully engaging. It was challenging to follow the group walking through the immensley crowded acropolis. I think groups could be limited to around 10-12 people for these tours during peak travel season. The lunch break was an hour in a taverna in Plaka with a limited menu, seated with the fellow tour group (by then only around 10 of us were left). The guide was not present. The trip to Cape Sounio was good, it wasn't guided and we were left to walk around the site for an hour or so on our own. The site and view were beautiful. All in all, it was informative and nice to see several sites, however a very long day. If I had to do it over again, I would have gone on my own to the acropolis and museum then taken the smaller tour to Cape Sounio.

It felt very chaotic and a lot of waiting around. We were asked to meet at 7.55am however guide eventually turned up at 8.20am and told us they also had to stop at key offices to collect guide. Eventually left at 8.40am. When we got out of acropolis another 20mins waiting for the bus. Lunch absolutely awful, really disgusting , would not recommend.

The different sites were nice but the audio was really hard to hear and understand. The guide had far too many people in the group (40+) which was challenging to follow on the very busy sights like Parthenon. Audio quality poor. Would have preferred pre recorded audio.

Disappointed .. I booked a hotel pick up but this did not happen & I was not told .. the morning of tour I was not picked up at hotel. I tried to contact company had issues very bad support. I had to get a taxi to the office - to meet the bus. Can I get reimbursement for the taxi charge ? The tour itself with the tour guide was rushed as well. Everything was a rush.

At the beginning it seemed very disorganized but once we were on the bus the wonderful guide took over and it was fantastic. The luncheon was extraordinary and then a bit of a rest as due to the extremely hot weather it meant the day had to be split so it became a sunset tour to Poseidon Temple but was worth the exhaustion if a very long day. Recommend this tour

Make the most of Athens
Why visit the Temple of Zeus?
- A glimpse into the past: The Temple of Olympian Zeus is over 2700 years old. Its construction began in the 6th century BC and was completed by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Walking through the temple's remains is like stepping back in time, into a world where mythology, religion, and politics were intertwined. Listen to the audio guides and learn more about the myths and legends associated with the site.
- Largest temple in ancient Greece: As the largest in ancient Greece, Zeus’ Temple once boasted a total of 104 columns. The remaining columns, each standing over 17 meters tall, hint at its former glory and showcase the skill and ingenuity of ancient Greek architects.
- More than just a ruin: The temple was not just meant to be a worshipping site but a symbol of Athenian power and prestige. Nearby, you’ll find Hadrian’s Arch, built to honor Emperor Hadrian. The arch points to the boundary between Old Athens and the new district, symbolizing the blending of Greek and Roman cultures.
- A photographer’s paradise: The towering Doric columns against the backdrop of clear blue skies make for stunning clicks. With the Acropolis just a stone’s throw away from the temple ruins, you can frame both monuments in a single shot.

Itinerary
Tips
- 9am: Start your day with a visit to the Acropolis archaeological site. Climb up the hill and marvel at the Parthenon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has stood for over 2,500 years.
- 11:30am: Head to the Ancient Agora, which once functioned as the political and commercial center of Athens.
- 1pm: Enjoy a traditional Greek lunch with moussaka, souvlaki, and gyros in the Plaka neighborhood and soak up the vibrant atmosphere.
- 2:30pm: Continue your tour with a visit to the Temple of Olympian Zeus. The massive Doric columns, once adorned with statues and carvings, remind you of the temple’s past glory.
- 3:30pm: Explore Hadrian's Library, a Roman-era complex that once housed a vast collection of books and manuscripts.
