Well Worth It - Go Before Visiting the Acropolis - Our tour guide was very funny and energetic. It was nice to learn more about the pieces in the museum versus read the labels or listen to an audio guide. I recommend going to the museum before your visit to Acropolis for better understanding.

Pure and simple, this is a don't miss. - Once in a while you meet a tour guide who is capable of painting in words a vivid picture of a time and place from long-long ago. The Acropolis Museum is impressive; however, with a passionate and knowledgeable guide, the museum comes alive with wonder and understanding. YOU GET IT! You understand the who and why of the ancient Greeks. So thank you for helping us GET the Acropolis and GET the time, people, and society from long-long ago. Highly recommeded.

Magnificent Museum - Must see museum after you visit the Acropolis and Parthenon. Tour guide was very informative and helpful on pointing out high spots ( Carytids) and explaining design of museum. Many amazing artifacts.

Great tour with Dimitris - We visited the Acropolis Museum as parents with our two young adult children and had an excellent guided tour. Dimitris, our guide, was excellent - knowledgeable, engaging and able to bring the exhibits to life. He highlighted key pieces and explained their significance, giving us far more than we would have discovered on our own. Confirmation that doing an organised tour is well worth it. Much better than going through the museum unguided. The 1¼-hour length was perfect - I had worried it might feel too short, but it was just right. We visited the museum before going up to the Acropolis, which I highly recommend, as it gave us an excellent overview of what to look out for once we were there.

Unmissable Tour - Margarita was simply fantastic. The way in which she conducted the tour brought everything we were seeing 'alive'. Her enthusiasm and love of the many incredible sculptures was contagious. My museum reluctant partner thanked me for booking it and agreed that it was the highlight of our short stay in Athens. The museum is breathtaking and should not be missed. We learnt a lot and will remember this tour for a long time to come.

Highly recommended - Margarita was great. Her English was great, and her love of her homeland and its history was very evident. My wife and I visited the museum on our own two years ago, but missed so much. Having Margarita as a guide made the experience so much richer.

Good Museum Tour - My wife and I had a pleasant 1.5 hour tour of the Acropolis Museum. Sophia was very knowledgeable, and the time spent was enough to get a good background of Ancient Greece.
