I was unable to download...

I was unable to download the tickets…. So I had to stand in the long line to purchase additional tickets… In effect, I paid twice for my experience.

Audio part of ticket was not good

The audio tour part was not good and well organized. Paid 41 per person when entry was only 20 per person. Not worth the extra cost as live to buy tickets was not long.

Worth it to use reward points on

After booking and attending other tours, we booked this. This was a great option touse reward points in my opinion. I would suggest the earliest time possible to start as the crowds get rather big. You can scan the museum guide once inside to listen in varying languages. A lot of exhibits were closed or on loan but they still had a lot to see.

Second museum today

We went to Exarchia to visit the car museum and had seen this lovely building nearby and decided to go in. It was very interesting and fabulous to see all the exhibits that have been saved for future generations to enjoy as well as us. The building itself is a work of art and a thing of beauty in a large modern city

If you love history this is your place

If you love history this is your place. You should be prepared before going otherwise you will be overwhelmed by the number of exhibitions of importance that are easily overlooked. (The downloaded tour didn’t match the museum. Experience)

Prebooking is the Way to Go!

Having the digital tickets helped us get into a shorter, faster line on Tuesday when the museum opened at 1 pm and there were a lot of people waiting to get in.

There are plenty of...

There are plenty of interesting displays and statues to see and the museum has plenty of space so that you can see everything without feeling rushed or crowded. The cafe has a good selection of food and drinks, and the shop has a lot to offer too.
