The best guided tour EVER! Our tour guide was Victor, and besides his vast knowledge on all things Acropolis and Greek history in general, he also has a great sense of humor and truly understands his work.

We went on my birthday. I've always been into history and I thought it was amazing to be able to walk through an actually archaeological dig site! It's been a dream to participate in one. There was so much information, I could've spent all day there! The hike to the top of the acropolis brought tears to my eyes once we reached the summit. It's amazing that this was built without modern technology or tools. I would love to go back again

We visited in June and had an incredible experience at the Acropolis and Museum. The weather was perfect, the crowds were manageable and obviously the site was awe-inspiring. Our guide Elizabeth was fantastic. She is an archeologist with a special interest in architecture. Her knowledge of the Acropolis and history enhanced the tour. She loved questions...and we asked tons. She was able to engage both the teens and my elderly parents. She stealthily guided us to the top of the Acropolis which my 80 year old parents did not think they could do! She was the BEST. Thanks!

This was such an amazing experience. It was very hot, so make sure you take your water and maybe a hat. We went a little early so we had to wait. Just be mindful that they only let you in based on the time you booked. So, if you go early you will have to wait in the heat until it's your time to go in. Other than that, it was a great experience.

Seeing the original statues from the Athena Nike Temple in the museum was a highlight. Also fantastic video that outlined the history of the site and the metropoles and architecture.
Unveiling ancient treasures and a living archaeological site
Opened in 2007, the Athens Acropolis Museum has one of the largest collections of fascinating Greek artifacts and sculptures that were housed in the Parthenon. The primary highlight is the cavernous excavation site below the museum. Believed to be an active neighborhood consisting of sea streets, houses, and shops from around 3000 BC to the 12th century A.D., the site is a highly unique exhibit.
A journey through four captivating galleries
There are four main galleries in the museum, and you have access to all of them! The Gallery of the Slopes of the Acropolis contains objects of everyday life used over the centuries. The Archaic Gallery houses some of the oldest findings dating back to the 7th century B.C. The Parthenon Gallery features a video presentation of the Parthenon and how it was designed and built. The final gallery contains a wide variety of fabulous artifacts including the coffered ceiling of the Propylaea and sculptures from the Temple of Athena Nike. You can also spot a range of amazing portraits depicting philosophers and historical figures. If you so choose, you can learn more about these wonderful artefacts and the museum with the help of an engaging audio guide.
