Uneven terrain but wife and I are in our 70"s and we made it just fine. There were plenty of breaks and our guide took his time getting us to the summit. The Parthenon and other temples were spectacular and the views of Athens were incredible. Loved this tour.

You took my money for tickets that I didn’t use
Despite making efforts to cancel pre the booking
You ignored me
Dreadful and disingenuous
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Dear Colin o,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Upon reviewing your booking, we confirmed that the product is subject to a 24-hour free cancellation policy. As your booking was made for the same day, it fell within the non-refundable cancellation window. The tickets were also duly issued and shared with you, and our team assisted you with your queries.
As the booked services were duly provided and the attraction follows a strict cancellation policy, which is beyond our control, the booking was non-refundable.
We had trouble locating the place to redeem our tickets and getting into the museum. And the staff was not very helpful.

Dear jarrodwalpert,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced while locating the entrance and accessing the museum.
Upon reviewing the booking, we found that our team was already in touch via Whatsapps or email. We wish you had reached out to us at the time of the issue, as we would have been happy to immediately assist you with the correct entrance point and help you access the museum.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your feedback.
This museum is first class. From passing through the entrance your interest in captured and held until the final upper level floor . Each exhibit is clearly described and throughout are brief descriptions of the history and culture of Athens and the acropolis. Even below the museum is a thought provoking excavation of Roman buildings. I consider this to be a well structured and descriptive museum that demonstrates the history of the acropolis from initial build through its troubled times to today’s restoration. I would state however that anyone visiting should try to get there really early as it is very popular.
Lovely building
Good museum
Nice and cool
Good restaurant with a lovely view
Very busy museum
Not worth booking in advance - the walk-in had a shorter queue and much cheaper than the online booking via the App
Response from Host, Sep 2026

Great at your own pace and very quick to get in and explore without waiting—we started around 11am so good timing before it became very congested.

This museum is a must. The audio tour/guide was spectacular. I suggest selecting the entire audio tour and then skipping to the audio spots you are interested in. It was difficult to find some of the exhibits on the shortened tours. Don’t miss out on the ground floor excavation site!

The Museum is essential to the understanding of the entire Acropolis visit and experience. You should try to do the Museum before the Acropolis if possible. Either way it is essential to do both to fully appreciate this place.

"Skip the line" ticket was a waste of time and money. After repeated contacts (text and phone calls) to Viator the guard finally just let me in without a ticket explaining that "third party vendors" resell tickets to multiple people.

Dear James B,
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that the staff assisted & you enjoyed your visit.
Upon reviewing your booking, we identified that the actual tickets and related access details were duly shared via email 1 day prior to your visit. We sincerely wish we had been contacted during your visit so we could have assisted you immediately with the actual tickets and helped avoid any inconvenience.
I arranged for Audio but there was nobody there at the Museum to install or give instructions how to "handle" it. The museum by itself is nicely equipped with great expositions but without proper guide you havd to be an "Acropogist" to follow and know the facts behind all the objects, sculptures and building sections. Truly disappointed for uncomplete tour experience. You should give timely thorough instructions for digital guide usage in order to truly make this tour worthwhile.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Dear Ruben F,
Thank you for your feedback. Upon reviewing your booking, we identified that the digital audio guide, along with detailed instructions on how to access and use it, had been shared with you a month prior to your visit as per your request.
We wish you had reached out to us during your visit, as our team would have immediately assisted you in accessing the audio guide and resolving any difficulties.
Thanks for sharing your feedback.
I purchased tickets for a group of us traveling to the Acropolis. I had a personal tour guide I booked on Viator that was fabulous.
However, it was recommended to purchase the museum tickets ahead of time which I did through via not only did the link, not work to get entry into the museum, but Viator is currently not refunding us for our tickets which we had to pay for at entry to the museum after already purchasing them through via tour, which was absolutely pointless apparently.
I am shocked that an app that is seemingly so popular could not refund us or help us out with the situation as the museum helpdesk looked into it as well as the company when I called First experiencing this issue at the museum entry.
It is disappointing to plan an advance for such a wonderful experience in vacation just to have the stress of not being able to access the actual ticket properly. The museum needed a QR code, which was not on the link that I was sent.
I have been in contact back-and-forth from Customer Service with this app and just been given a refusal to refund. Wanderung guides private limited was the third-party who was supposed to supply the tickets. Be wary of this company as we never got our product that we paid $379 for.
Terrible Customer Service.

The museum was closed because of may 1 Labor Day. My credit card was charged and no refund was issued. How can you sell me something that I cannot do?
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Yvonne V,
Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Upon reviewing your booking, we found that the booking confirmation was processed due to a technical error, despite the Acropolis Museum being closed on May 1st for Labor Day. Our team did reach out to assist with rescheduling; however, we understand that the alternative options did not fit your travel plans.
Please be assured that your refund request has already been raised and is currently being processed. We truly regret the experience you had and appreciate your patience in this matter.
The guide was really knowledgeable and passionate. Being the first entry let us experience the Acropolis before it got crowded.

Very nice facility with many displays. Entry was easy and there is a restaurant and cafe in site. Escalators bring you floor to floor.

Dear matthew c,
Thanks for your feedback, we are glad you had a nice time and enjoyed your visit.
Provider emailed HALF of the entrance ticket barcodes. This created confusion and a period of chaos as myself and the museum information booth person problem solved to access our full barcodes. This took almost an hour (frustrated to tears).
I do not recommend purchasing tickets through this provider. Museum staff said they see this all the time and always recommend getting tickets through their website to assure there’s no issues.
Viator shrugged and offered no solutions.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Marisa L,
Thanks for your feedback, we are sorry to hear that you faced difficulties, the ticket were shared through the viator app., email in a PDF attachement, we are sorry to hear that you missed checking the same.
Please remember that our team is always available via chat or phone and would be happy to help plan your visit more efficiently in the future.
Booked 2 hrs in advance nad immediately received tickets. I can recommend the Company for last minute bookings.
Good way to supplement the Acropolis visit, enjoyed the diversity of the exhibition, with a film on the top floor, small reading area and views on the second floor, and the vast exhibit on the first floor. Didn't enjoy the confusion with the restaurant on the second floor- we went to check out the gift shop and when we tried to continue seeing the museum an over aggressive security officer didn't recognize the Viator ticket since she didn't see the date on it
We coukd make the best use of a
Rainy day. We could spend as much time as we wanted in the very intersting and informative museum. It is a must visit museum in Atgens.

Dear guest thanks for your feedback, we are glad you had a nice time and enjoyed your visit.
Allow plenty of time because there are so many things to see and read about. You could probably spend several days or a week. The audio guide is very good and easy to follow. The museum cafe was very pleasant and food was good. The museum is very open and spacious. You can go into the museum store without paying the entrance fee. I’m going back to the store.

The history is deeper than the Athenian gods, older cultures are revealed here. Amazing artifacts pre date the era.

Worst experience ever using Viator. Company they use sent us used tickets, Acropolis Museum confirmed the tickets sent us had already been used September 27th, so could not enter. Museum could not help with problem since tickets were bought thru 3rd Party. This is October 22nd. Wasted about 35 precious minutes communicating with company trying to make them understand & resolve. Exasperated finally bought tickets at the Box Office. Waiting for refund from company, if don’t get it will contact Viator and/or Credit Card Company. FYI-Acropolis Museum is great.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear guest thanks for your feedback, we are very sorry to hear this upon investigation we noted that this happened due to a technical error this has been discussed and resolved with the museum, your full refund was already approved, the issue is now resolved.
We avoided the lines. We just walked up, they scan our ticket and off we went. . We didn’t to do a guide but there was scan which gave us a map to tell us what we were looking at.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear guest thanks for your feedback, we are glad you had a nice time with us.
This is a more cost effective way of purchasing tickets for the Acropolis museum. Tickets are normally 40 euros. Paid USD33. Plus the lines were long to get tickets. It’s a win-win. Plus if you are traveling with kids, it allows you to skip the line and buy discounted tickets for your kids at 10 euros each.
