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.
The ease of restricted access through QR codes has minimized time wastage

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).

1 ticket for all sites. It's a pity that the audios, apart from the one at the Acropolis, are only in English.

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.
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.
I could not buy the audioguide for the acropolis because of problems with the application. And the audioguide that was for the plaka neighborhood, was in English and I configured everything for Spanish.

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.

good multi pass. bad audio guide only for Acropoli
Clear explanation of the history & not difficult to figure out the different locations.
Easy ticketing experience. All in one pricing
Good venue, but ticket said it closed at 8pm. We were told to leave at 4.50pm
Earliest time slot ... not too busy ... would recommend ...
Thanks to your perfect organization, we entered everywhere as a matter of course. Great experience!

Easy to find, the entrance wasn't crowded. We pass through like a breeze!
It was not possible to do the tour as the audio guide said, it was not up to date.

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.

I was promised an audio-guided tour but when we entered nobody knew anything about it.
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 little to comprehensive audio

The kindness and promptness of the guide in addition to the comfort of the vehicle.
Our experience was absolutely amazing. Our guide was super infiramruve and knowledgeable. This is a truly great tour. Dediwnrelt recommens!
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.
Easy travel to areas with provided bus. Great amount of time and information at each location. Meal provided was a nice treat. Great tour!
Acropolis and Parthenon .....but long day.
Headout put in the wrong pickup point and they did not take responsibility for their mistake.

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
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.
