I managed to visit all the sites during my 3 days in Athens. The audio tours were also useful both those for the specific sites and for the general area tours.
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).

Convenient skip-the-line tickets for all major archaeological sites. They don't even have to be exchanged for tickets.

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.
Great, although the schedules, out of season, are a little short and should be taken into account to know that more days are needed to see everything.

To download the audio guide I tried to contact you and it was quite complicated, more than half an hour and when I was finally attended it turns out that I was sent to a chat with another company or another app to download the audio guide, they attended me faster than you but still I lost almost 1 hour.

The wind was causing the dirt the cover us and there was no shelter. The pillars were behind scaffold and whilst preservation work is important it detracted from the experience.
A full-day guided tour covering Athens’ ancient icons and Cape Sounion with entry and lunch.

The trip was comfortable and the guide was very informative all the way through
Our experience was absolutely amazing. Our guide was super infiramruve and knowledgeable. This is a truly great tour. Dediwnrelt recommens!
Acropolis and Parthenon .....but long day.
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 best tour guide, loved the time in each activity, the food was really good and full filing. Everything amazing! Would highly recommend!
I booked online from home, so had some doubts. However, we were picked up on time and had a fantastic day. Kostas clearly knows his history and was the best guide I've ever experienced. The Parthenon and museum were totally amazing. We had our lunch included as we booked the full day. The food was good and plenty of it. We then travelled to Soulion, which was a long trip on the bus which was a bit of a drain. Purely due to the distance and time. The route was beautiful and the coach lovely and cool. The review may sound made up, but we found the whole day excellent. Totally amazeballs. Find a bot that will write that.
Our guide Katarina was incrdible. "Mama" as she told us to call her, was so knowledgeable and fun. She provided a ton of back story and I learned so much during the tour. While she incorporated her viewpoints into the tour, it never felt biased or unwarranted, so it was the perfect balance of facts and perspective from a Greek person. She tapped into her mothering skills to start managing peopel around us, in order to ensure our group was not affected by execssive queues and nonsense. I would definitely take another tour with her.
It was the best experience! !I had lots of fun visting the temples.
Learned more of ancient history and the host truly knowledgeable beside of being very approachble
