The Acropolis Museum is a true gem in the heart of Athens. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a stunning blend of modern architecture and ancient history. The layout is spacious and thoughtfully designed, allowing visitors to appreciate the incredible artifacts without feeling crowded. The displays are beautifully curated, with clear explanations that bring the stories of ancient Greece to life. The highlight for me was the top floor, where you can admire the Parthenon Marbles with breathtaking views of the Acropolis itself through the glass walls. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to answer questions. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious, the Acropolis Museum is a must-visit—an unforgettable experience that deepens your appreciation for Greek culture and heritage.

Actual tour was amazing, but we were told 2 different pick up locations and only ended up realising this once we got to the wrong location. Bus didn't turn up so rang the company and they said the pick up address was on the other side of Athens. Had to quickly uber to the right location after being told the wrong one, we were very lucky to not miss it. More information should be provided on this tour as it is quite unorganised.

The museum was amazing! So many thing a to see. I went by myself so I was able to stay at each exhibit for as long as I wanted, and I stayed for at least 2.5 hours. I had a hard time trying to go in the order of the digital tour so I gave it up after a while. But I didn't mind, the plaques infront of the displays gave plenty of information to make it a wonderful experience. I just wish other visitors were more aware of the people around them. 100% recommend to anyone visiting Athens

The iconic location itself , combined with the clear blue sky and Attica view made the day memorable. The museum was lovely. The crowds, heat and sometimes lacklustre commentary means I would not repeat the the experience.
