National Archaeological Museum Private Tour with Licensed Expert Guide

This was a must do tour for us. Having a guide take us through all the artifacts in the museum gave us such a holistic view, ensuring no stone unearthed. The guide was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. Go see the museum before they close it for renovations. Well worth the time.

Having a private tour guide made the museum close to life. Our guide, Vicki, had comprehensive knowledge of the historical periods of Greece and how the art and artifacts changed and evolved. Her insights were invaluable, making a large museum easier to explore in a meaningful way.

Our guide was experienced, enthusiastic and friendly. I would recommend this experience. A completely enjoyable trip.

Vicki was great… very knowledgeable and friendly. A great option when visiting Athens during the hot summer months.

An absolutely fascinating tour of the Archaeological Museum. Our guide was a wealth of information. Highly recommend!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. She clearly had a normal route through the main exhibits for foreign tourists, but when she discovered how much we already knew about Ancient Greece and that we had already been to Olympia, to Akrotiri in Santorini, to the Palace at Knossos, etc., she adapted her planned trip through the museum to show us what we wanted to see to fill in the gaps in our knowledge. She was wonderful.

This tour was excellent! Our guide brought to life the exhibits at the museum and made them accessible. Our guide revealed Greek history through the works of art and sculpture at the museum. Those interested in history and art will love this!

Our guide was Despina who had great knowledge and took us through the museum in a focused way. We were a group of 5 and were over 30min late due to traffic and overall took longer than I planned from our hotel near Syntagma; then had to wait on line for tickets that took another 20+min (for a mid Oct trip, I really planned for this museum to be much less crowded, and was clearly wrong! this is a big attraction!!). Unfortunately the tour then seemed rushed to complete prior to closing; still had a solid 90min with Despina. I strongly recommend doing this museum as one of the first of your Athens trip (as we did), yet leave at least 30-60 min to get there on time (whether by taxi or metro green line- Victoria station), get tickets ahead of time to 'skip the line'. We were all tired from travel and just wish we timed this experience a little better. Despina was very good. Museum is amazing and could spend a whole day covering all the time periods of art and culture, but this tour does a good job to distill to a couple hours.

We were amazed at the collections in this museum. Two hours really was not long enough for this tour. Our guide was so personable and knowledgeable. The only thing that might have improved the experience would be headsets. She had a very soft voice, and the people milling around made it difficult to hear her. Otherwise, I would say, take this tour!

This tour was excellent. Our guide was well informed, interesting and helped us get the most out of an our afternoon at the museum.
