Pan gave us a very informative tour and helped us navigate a very busy museum. During the two hour tour, Pan briefly shared the history of Greece and how the history was captured with the various collection pieces. She made sure we saw the most important pieces. Pan was delightful and answered all our questions. This was our first excursion in Athens and it was useful in understanding many of the other places we visited in Athens and around Greece.
Our guide was interesting and knowledgeable. The artefact in the museum were fabulous. We learnt a great deal and would recommend the tour.
We took a 2 hour tour with Dorina at the National Archeological Museum of Athens. The explanation was very interesting. As the Museum has a lot to offer, Maiana chose the most interesting findings combined with a lot of knowledge-based experience enthusiasm and humor. We warmly recommend her as your next tourguide.
Thank you for the awesome review, dear Guest! We work very hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you; Dorina will be extremely pleased with your kind comments. Please come back and visit us soon! Until then, stay safe and keep traveling!
The private tour in the National Acheological Museum was a great experience. The vast abundance of artefacts from different time periods was impressive. Our experienced guide Hani elaborated on selected pieces quite the right amount of background for us to get deeper understanding of cultural areas of Pagan Greece. We enjoyed it very much an can only recommend to go visit to extraordinary museum.
Dear guest, thank you for your wonderful review. We are very happy you enjoyed your private tour to the Archaeological Museum, which is indeed spectacular. We hope to host you again soon in our beautiful city for more exciting dives to ancient Greece!
Aristotle was incredible... His depth of knowledge and his manner with me and my teenage children was exceptional. My view having taken a guide for a number of places in greece now would be to suggest to anyone wanting to truly understand the depths of greek culture through the ages and today is to absolutely, definitely take a guided tour.
<p>We were unable to see the National Archeological Museum because of the strike. However, the supplier arranged for our guide to take us to the New Acropolis Museum which was amazing! Even though transporation was disrupted, Vicki made a heroic effort to get to our hotel so that we could take the tour. Her expertise in archeology makes her an exceptional guide. We truly bonded with her. She will be a life-long friend of our family. We are so grateful to them for making our trip to Greece memorable even though the city was practically shut down due to the strike. They are amazing!</p>
