Reviews
An unforgettable experience! The private tour of the National Archaeological Museum was the highlight of my trip to Athens. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our interests. We spent extra time at the Venus de Milo and the Antikythera Mechanism, both of which were even more impressive in person. The personalized attention made the entire experience feel special. Highly recommend!”

An incredible way to experience the National Archaeological Museum. The private tour made it feel like we had the museum to ourselves. I loved how the guide connected each artifact to Greek mythology and history. The Antikythera Mechanism blew my mind – the level of ancient technology was astonishing! Totally worth every penny.
