Athens for history geeks

Wat eennprachtige ervaring, echt de moeite waard. Alleen stond er evengoed een lange rij ondanks dat we online tickets hadden gekocht.

Bellissima escursione secondo me assolutamente da fare! La costa di Atene è incantevole ed il tempio di Poseidone spettacolare al tramonto. Tempo di permanenza giusto per potersi godere a pieno il luogo. Non do 5 stelle solo per la gestione degli orari: il prelievo/partenza era previsto per le 16.30 invece siamo partiti alle 17. L'attività sarebbe dovuta durare in totale 5 ore con rientro alle 21.30 ma a causa della partenza alle 21 e del tanto traffico presente Siamo arrivati ad Atene alle 22.45 dopo un viaggio di quasi 2 ore!

The tour was well organised and very professional. Petros our guide was absolutely amazing !! Very informative, and a great personality, engaged with the whole group and made the tour extremely enjoyable.

Our guide was so kind and knowledgeable. Also the application is perfect! Thank you guys for everything, it was great. I totally recommend it!

We went on the English speaking tour and had Vaso as our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the monasteries the local area and geology which was an added bonus. Inside the chapels, is the most beautiful artwork and intricate carvings I have ever seen. For me, my favourite places were St Barbara and St Stephan. Everywhere you look there is so much history and so much work that has gone into building these sanctuaries. I 100% recommend this tour. Is it a long day? Yes it is. Is it worth it? 1000% yes. Book the tour, you will not be disappointed.

Our driver Cristiano was professional, personable, and very knowledgeable. We had a lovely time and would book with him for other adventures in the future.

My visit to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens was one of the highlights of my trip to Greece. From the very moment I arrived, everything was exceptionally well organized. The entrance process was smooth and efficient, with ticketing and security procedures handled quickly and professionally. I was particularly impressed by the museum staff. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and eager to assist visitors. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm contributed greatly to the overall experience, making me feel comfortable and well informed throughout my visit. The exhibits themselves are truly outstanding. The museum houses an extraordinary collection of artifacts that beautifully showcase the richness of ancient Greek civilization. Every gallery offers remarkable treasures, from magnificent sculptures and exquisite gold artifacts to fascinating everyday objects that bring history to life. The displays are thoughtfully arranged, allowing visitors to fully appreciate both the historical significance and artistic beauty of each piece. The National Archaeological Museum in Athens is a world-class institution that exceeds expectations in every way. Its excellent organization, dedicated and knowledgeable staff, and breathtaking collections make it an absolute must-see for anyone visiting Athens. I wholeheartedly recommend this museum and look forward to returning in the future. This visit was a special gift for my 17-year-old son, who has a deep interest in Greece, and it made the experience even more meaningful and memorable for both of us.

Wonderfully displayed artifacts with plenty of information. Even though there were large crowds, the museum handled it perfectly. It was an experience of a lifetime.
