Visit the Acropolis hill and admire all the monuments like Parthenon, Temple of Nike, Erechtheion and the theatre of Dionysus.

Itinerary
Acropolis is an archaeological wonder, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of the most instantly recognizable landmarks of Athens. Receive your ticket on your phone and see the ancient Greek temple of Parthenon which is dedicated to Athena, the goddess of war as well as Propylae, the temple of Athena Nike, Erecheion and Herodes Atticus from the top. Marvel Parthenon and its amazing views on your own pace on this solo exploration of the very cradle of Western civilization. Towering over the capital, Acropolis is a very impressive sight, and walking around on its grounds, gives the visitor a feeling of awe and a true sense of the greatness of the ancient Greeks.
Visit the Acropolis Museum which contains some of the important works of contemporary architecture and priceless findings from the Acropolis monuments. Marvel at the main attractions such as votives, artifacts of everyday life, statues from the archaic period, Caryatids, and of course the majestic Parthenon hall with the metopes, the pediments, and the frieze.

The bus was on time, the route was good. The website says the bus runs until 8, so I thought we'd be able to catch it after our 6pm acropolis visit, however, the last bus actually leaves the acropolis stop at 6:30pm, so we had to take transit/ walk back to the hotel.
Horrible experience!! We have taken many Viator tours and Hop on Hop off buses in many cities. Do Not get the Acropolis option on this tour. We bought this on a Friday late afternoon to go for 24 hours. They sent the Acropolis tix at 8 pm via email and we did not find out about until we called the next day. They then informed us the tickets expired and Viator refused to give us a refund. We took the bus at 6:15 pm the previous night and asked the bus driver how and when we could get the Acropolis tickets. He said they will let you know. Absolutely do not recommend this. Much better option is to buy tickets online, even scan in the barcode while in line is safer and you won’t waste your money on this scam!!!
Dear Neli, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. However, we’d like to clarify some important details. When purchasing the Acropolis option, it is clearly stated during the booking process that visitors must select a specific time slot for entry. These tickets are issued with strict conditions by the official ticketing authority and cannot be used before or after the selected time. This requirement is not set by us, but we are obligated to follow it. Tickets are delivered electronically, as noted in the booking confirmation, and we urge all guests to check their emails and spam folders promptly after booking. Our staff is also available to assist with any concerns before the selected time. We regret that this situation resulted in a missed opportunity, but the process and conditions are communicated to ensure fairness and proper access for all visitors. For future visits, we always recommend reviewing ticket instructions carefully to ensure a smooth experience. We hope this helps clarify the matter and would be glad to assist you directly should you choose to travel with us again. Best Regards, Margarita Karavasileiadi
