      The Parthenon is incredible and the history of the site is fascinating. Go to the Acropolis Museum first to really appreciate what you see at the Acropolis.
      Great to see it again after 13 years

      Easy to access tickets Gi early. UT gets very crowded in the afternoon. Spring Temps are not hot. Last time we here in August and it was very hot.

      Cathleen_L, Apr 2024
      We could not get in with the tickets you sent, we had to call the local tour company to get the tickets sent to us directly. This was not a good experience and not not worth the price.

      Viator Voucher not accepted, had to pay extra to get in
      Carlee_B, Apr 2024
      Received the voucher from Viator for the entry tickets but was not accepted by the Acropolis ticket people. Had to buy two more entrance tickets to get in. Would have paid for an actual guide if it was going to cost that much anyway:(
      Beautiful
      Jasmine_L, Apr 2024
      The walk up to the parthenon was incredible, make sure to wear shoes with traction the walk was a bit slippery on the rocks. Bring wireless headphones possibly AirPods to share for best results with audio guide to listen but also walk around.
      Acropolis did not accept voucher
      Michele_C, Apr 2024
      The acropolis itself was amazing but I was sent a voucher that the ticket office did not accept and was told I needed to contact the company. I bought a ticket on the spot for 20 euros, I was charged $35 on Viator for the convenience of ordering online and it didn’t even work. The self-guided tour I downloaded was fine
      It was an amazing experience!
      Cameron_C, Apr 2024
      It was once in a life time experience! The place was really part of history and there were less people too so this season is a good time to go.
      Great sight seeing
      Janet_L, Apr 2024
      Having the tickets and just going in. Even thought it says meeting place , it’s not because we already had the tickets . You just go to the entrence and scan your ticket. We call customer service and they answer the phone right away and explain.
      TERRIBLE!
      Howard_C, Apr 2024
      Rating should be MINUS TEN! The ticket links to our tickets did not work. We emailed the provider, which did not respond. The officials at the venue tried to get the tickets to load on my phone but could not. We had to buy two more tickets to save our day from being completely wasted. And then Viator REFUSES A REFUND. Travel friends, look elsewhere.
      Recommended.

      Very well organised. Received confirmation and ticket well in advance. Was worth it to book in advance. Can recommend it.
      Great experience!
      Heather_R, Mar 2024
      We enjoyed the Acropolis immensely! Trip of a lifetime! I wish the ticket process was easier. Waiting for the tickets AFTER receiving the voucher is confusing and too much correspondence. It would be better and more efficient to receive the tickets after payment is received!
      Athens Graffiti Capitol
      Michael_M, Mar 2024
      Acropolis was interesting and way too many people. Too hard for handicapped customers. Really sad to see graffiti everywhere in Athens - no one seems to care. Really sad

      Changed my time
      Cheri_K, Mar 2024
      When I selected a time I selected 10 am - after I purchased the tickets came in for11. I needed the earlier time. So I didn’t get to spend much time there! I was on a schedule - I should have been told my time wasn’t available before it charged me. First time I’ve ever had trouble with Viator!
      Must see and amazing site!
      Marilou_K, Mar 2024
      It a must to see the Parthenon while in Athens. It's an amazing acient ruins and incredible site! We enjoyed the our trip there. Beautiful area too!
      Excellent place to visit if you come to Athens.

      Highly recommend - a must when in Athens
      Louise_S, Feb 2024
      I was in Athens for business and had a few hours before my flight. I got there for 8am and it was like I had the place to myself! Tickets were emailed 24 hours in advance and were scanned on my phone at the entrance. You probably need a good hour or so to walk round. If you get the opportunity, I also would recommend the Acropolis Museum at the bottom (which is €10 entry) and a walk around Plaka (the old town) which is very pretty.

      Acropolis & Parthenon was on my list to see. Really enjoyed it when I saw it in person - absolutely stunning. However, we took the wrong turn and went out to the exit, We weren't allowed back in unless we bought another ticket. We missed seeing the Theatre of Dionysus.

      AMORIE_L, Dec 2023
      Wow, just had the most amazing Greek food tour with Tassous! 🇬🇷🍽️ The guy knows his stuff! We chowed down on some seriously authentic Greek eats while Tassous spun tales that brought the country's history and culture to life. It was like eating our way through a delicious history book! Highly recommend this tour – it's like a flavor-packed crash course in all things Greek. Tassous, you rock! 🌟👍 #GreekFoodAdventure
