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.

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.

Our tour guide Christina was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable, probably has a degree in Greek history. Made everyone feel welcome and included. Would highly recommend this guided tour to gain the extra knowledge conveyed by our scholarly guide.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Langdon! We are absolutely pleased that you had such a fantastic experience at the Acropolis Museum. You have a great eye—many of our guides do indeed have academic backgrounds in history and archaeology, and Christina loves using that scholarly expertise to bring the ancient world to life! We're so glad she made everyone feel welcome and included. Thank you for the high recommendation, and enjoy the rest of your travels! Warmly, Athens Walking Tours Team
Eva gave us the most brilliant tour of the Acropolis Museum and we got so much more out of the museum thanks to her. She is an excellent historian, hugely knowledgeable, and guided us expertly through all the highlights. She was able to communicate with all ages on our tour, including keen historians as well as children, and she was utterly charming too. Thank you Eva for your time (you were very generous staying longer than you were required to in order to answer our questions) and your expertise. We are so pleased that we took this tour.
What a joy to read this, thank you so much! Eva will be super happy to know her passion for the museum and its stories made the visit richer for everyone, from the history enthusiasts to the younger listeners. Her generosity with time (no surprise to us!) is exactly why guests love touring with her. We're pleased the experience felt so rewarding. Warm regards, Athens Walking Tours Team
We needed a midtour break. Sitting down and enjoying the experience for 10-15 minutes at a unique spot would have helped.
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate the suggestion, taking a short mid-tour break is a great idea, and we’ll certainly consider adding a comfortable pause at a scenic spot to enhance the experience for future guests. Warm regards, Athens Walking Tours Team

Our guide had a wonderful amount of detail and history to really give us more knowledge of ancient Athens and Greek society. As a plus- she was pretty funny!
Hi Adele, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that our guide combined deep knowledge with a good sense of humor — it’s the perfect mix for bringing ancient Athens to life. Warm regards, Athens Walking Tours Team
I learned so much on this tour. I was glad to go to the museum first to understand more about Greek history before going to the Acropolis. The tour group worked very hard to help me gain entry to this fabulous tour of the museum and the Acropolis. I so appreciate it.
Dear Gail, Thank you for your kind words! Your words make us smile as we hear that starting with the museum enriched your understanding of Greek history before visiting the Acropolis. It’s a delight to know that our team’s support helped make your experience smooth and memorable. Warm regards, Athens Walking Tours Team
