We had a very informative and engaging guide, Margaret, who showed us the highlights of the New Acropolis Museum in Athens. The meeting place was easy to find in the Plaka area and it was just about a 5 minute walk from there to the museum.
Very informative tour with an excellent guide. Highlighted and explained well the important aspects of the museum
This was a great small group tour of the museum. Our guide (Margaret?) was super knowledgeable and moved the tour at a very good pace. So much detail would have been lost without her guidance and explanation, which helped us appreciate the museum. We are a family of 4 (girls are 17 and 20) and we all felt this was an excellent experience. The company contacted us prior to the tour to confirm logistics for meeting, etc, and communicated very clearly.
Dear Adrian, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that clear communication before your tour made meeting up effortless, and that Margaret’s expertise and great pacing made the museum come alive for your entire family. Knowing that everyone left with a deeper appreciation for the history means everything to us. Thank you for Choosing The Original Athens Walking Tours!
Margaret was a great tour guide. There is an overwhelming amount to see in the museum, and a guide put it all together and explained it all so well. Gorgeous museum
Dear John, Navigating a world-class collection like the Acropolis Museum can definitely feel overwhelming, so it's our pleasure that Margaret brought it all together so seamlessly for you! Having a dedicated guide to weave the stories and artifacts into a clear picture really brings the history to life. Thank you for leaving such a great review, and we hope you enjoyed every moment in Athens! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
It was useful that I did it a day before my tour of the Acropolis. It helped me picture the artifacts in place.
Hi Charles, That is absolute expert-level planning right there! Seeing the artifacts up close in the Museum first is such a brilliant way to build the mental picture before stepping onto the Acropolis grounds itself. We love that you tackled it in that order! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review and travel tip! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
Great museum of artifacts. Tour guide was ok but had some poor equipment and had some issues with hearing.
Hey Eileen, Thanks for the feedback. We're glad you loved the museum's artifacts, but we apologize for the issues with the audio equipment. Clear sound is a must, and we will reflect on our headsets quality to secure a perfect function in any case. Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
I was disappointed with this tour. The guide's accent was quite difficult for me to understand, but more importantly, the delivery lacked energy and enthusiasm. It felt like she was simply reading from a script rather than engaging with the group. I honestly think I would have learned more by using the museum's free audio guide or reading the exhibit descriptions.
Hello Chun, We are sorry to hear about your experience. We sincerely apologize for not keeping the engagement as part of the tour as you expected, and we regret that the delivery lacked the energy and enthusiasm we aim for. Your feedback is incredibly important, and we will address this with our team to ensure our tours remain interesting, insightful, and dynamic. Thank you for letting us know. Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
This 1 1/2 hour tour is perfect amount of time for the museum. Our Guide Deppy was so knowledgeable about everything in the museum and the Ancient Greek times. She knew a lot about the Acropolis, the different statues and greek gods. Felt like I was back in high school (LOL) Amazing how they could build these statues and Parthenon back 3000 years ago. Definitely worth seeing. Not a lot of walking so a moderate activity.
Hey Frances, Thank you for the wonderful review! We love that Deppy managed to transport you back in time (in the best way possible!) and bring all those fascinating stories of the Greek gods and ancient architecture to life. It truly is mind-blowing what they built thousands of years ago! We're so glad the 1.5-hour pace was the perfect match for you. Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
Eva was a wonderful tour guy. The meeting point was easy and seamless. The checking process was easy. Eva was such a kind and knowledgeable guide. You can totally tell she is very passionate about the subject matter and was more than eager to share with the group.
Hey Bryan, Thank you so much for the top review! It makes us smile to hear that your experience was easy and seamless right from the start with the check-in and meeting point. Eva is fantastic, and we love that her kindness, knowledge, and deep passion for the history shone through during your museum tour. It's always a pleasure to have a guide who is genuinely eager to share these incredible stories with our guests. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
Super worth it. Our guide, Sophia, was extremely knowleadgeable and she was very kind. She clearly knew a lot about the museum's content and Athens' history. It was also very worth it to get the context of the exhibition items, complemented perfectly the self-service content available.
Hey Laura, It is wonderful to hear that your tour was super worth it! Sophia is an absolute gem, and we are happy that her kindness, deep knowledge of Athens' history, and expertise on the museum's collection made such an impact on your visit. We love that her commentary perfectly complemented the museum's displays—getting that extra context and storytelling truly brings the ancient world to life! Thank you so much for sharing your great experience with us. Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
