Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 26 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Consumers frequently pointed out that the platform could be mistaken for official ticket offices, leading visitors to pay higher prices for standard entries. Buyers experienced significant markups, expensive handling costs, and unexpected surcharges applied during the final payment process. Some reviewers were not happy with technical website errors causing duplicate transactions, missed tours, and stressful admission problems at the venue gates. A few other people also felt that bundled guides were heavily overpriced or that digital tickets completely failed to arrive when minor typos occurred during online checkout.

This is a scam website and should be taken down! It's just out there to rip off unsuspecting tourists. It looks like an official site but it's not. They charged 46.50 for acropolis entry when it's only 30 Euro!! Avoid

Scam

We purchased tickets for the Acropolis online, but the expected confirmation email with our access tickets never arrived. Even after waiting for an hour, the email was not delivered, causing us to miss our scheduled entrance window. Furthermore, the only available method to contact the organization is via email, which has gone completely unanswered.
Once at the Acropolis entrance, we learned that we aren't the only one in this situation. Unfortunately we missed our tour and found out that at the entrance the tickets were way cheaper.
Nearly 4 hrs later they responded saying there was a glitch in their system and the refund will be processed. I assume they processed the refund because of the dispute I filed under Wise (payment method).

Je déconseille vraiment d’acheter vos…

BEFORE BUYING HERE: check the official ticket office first, especially if you are travelling with children or young EU citizens under 25. Eligible young visitors can receive free admission, while this website included them in the amount I was charged for “Entry tickets”.

I strongly recommend NOT buying your Acropolis tickets from this website.

I paid €199.50 for my booking: €154.50 for “Entry tickets” and €45 for audio guides.

When I received the official tickets, I discovered that their total face value was only €60: 2 adult tickets at €30 each, while the tickets issued for my 2 children and the young EU visitor aged 18–25 were €0.

So I was charged €154.50 for entry tickets with an official total face value of only €60 — a difference of €94.50, excluding the audio guides.

I contacted customer service and asked for an explanation and a refund. They refused, referring to their Terms and Conditions, which they say I accepted during the booking process. In my experience, this significant markup was not made sufficiently clear before purchasing and the relevant conditions appeared in very small print.

Had I understood that I was paying €154.50 for tickets that would ultimately show a total face value of €60, I would never have booked through this website.

👉 My advice: check the official Acropolis ticket office and the eligibility rules for free admission BEFORE buying from a third-party website. In particular, do not pay an intermediary for young visitors who may qualify for a free official ticket.

I am sharing my experience so that other travellers can check the prices carefully and avoid the same very unpleasant surprise.

Je déconseille vraiment d’acheter vos billets sur ce site.

J’ai payé 199,50 € pour une réservation pour l’Acropole : 154,50 € étaient facturés comme “Entry tickets” et 45 € pour les audioguides.

À la réception des billets officiels, énorme surprise : leur valeur totale était de seulement 60 € (2 billets adultes à 30 € et 3 billets à 0 €).

J’ai donc payé 154,50 € pour des billets dont la valeur faciale totale est de 60 €, soit 94,50 € de différence, hors audioguides.

Lorsque j’ai contacté le service client pour demander des explications et un remboursement de cette différence, ils ont refusé en invoquant leurs conditions générales acceptées lors de l’achat. Ces conditions et la majoration appliquée ne m’avaient absolument pas paru clairement mises en évidence au moment de la réservation.

Si j’avais compris que je payais 154,50 € pour des billets officiels affichant une valeur totale de 60 €, je n’aurais évidemment jamais acheté sur ce site.

👉 Je recommande vraiment aux futurs visiteurs de ne pas acheter ici et de vérifier les tarifs de la billetterie officielle avant de réserver.

Une expérience extrêmement décevante. J’espère que cet avis permettra au moins à d’autres voyageurs d’éviter la même mauvaise surprise.

Complete SCAM

Complete SCAM. They did not even email me our tickets. Sell themselves off as official website. I feel like a fool but it seemed legit. This is a MASSIVE SCAM!

Don't use this service

Do not use this service. They pass themselves off as official providers, but they are scammers. They sell you tickets at double the price. In my case, the tickets weren't even usable, and they sold me a free guide for over 20 euros. Terrible.

Stay away from shady providers like this!!!!

I wouldn't recommend Athens Tickets. It's much more expensive. The actual admission to the Acropolis, including the Pantheon—since it's located on the Acropolis—is 30 euros. On top of that, they charged 9 per person for audio guides, which is a total rip-off, since there aren’t any audio guides at the Acropolis. You can download an app there using a QR code, and it’s free for everyone. Stay away from shady providers like this!!!!

Deceptive site mimicking official platform! 80% markup!



Total rip-off! While trying to access the official Greek Government platform (hhticket.gr), this unofficial website appeared as a misleading top result, completely mimicking the official ticket office design. They charged me €110.90 for two Acropolis tickets that officially cost only €60.00 on the government site!I realized the mistake instantly and sent an email to cancel the order BEFORE the tickets were even issued. Their customer service rigidly refused to help. They survive by confusing tourists through misleading search engine ads. Avoid at all costs, buy ONLY from hhticket.gr. Chargeback process with my bank is already ongoing

Scammers

Scammers, do not but a ticket from them .
This is not official website! Double prices. I paid 60€ for one ticket . The ticket is 30€ from official website.
I will report them to my bank as my invoice is for 60€ but they charge my 109€ from my visa.

These ppl are a TOTAL SCAM

These ppl are a TOTAL SCAM. Please do not bother booking thru this site; they are absolute THIEVES.

Booked through their site looking for 8:00 AM Acropolis tour and as a "convenience" because they were unable to honor my time booked me for 11:00 AM. I requested twice to be refunded via link provided. Then because there was no response I followed up with an email. They claimed that because they sent me the tickets no refund was possible. Had to go to AMEX to open a dispute to get my $$ back.

This website uses misleading pricing… SCAM

This website uses misleading pricing practices.

Tickets officially cost €30, but I was charged €45.50, with a hidden €15.50 surcharge presented vaguely as a “booking fee”.

This represents over 50% markup and is not clearly disclosed before payment, which prevents consumers from making an informed decision.

This is not an official provider and gives a misleading impression.

Scam

The support desk have never replied my email. It is scam. Do not buy the ticket from them if you don’t want to waste time and money. They will make your bad memory.
