Itinerary

Discover relics from Ancient Greece at the peak of its creative influence in the 5th century BC, and complete your visit to the iconic Acropolis with a guided tour of the Acropolis Museum. Designed by the architects Bernard Tschumi and Michael Photiadis, the museum is a treasure chest of artifacts formerly held in other museums, in storage, or returned from foreign collections. Marvel at the 1st floor Archaic Gallery as it is bathed in natural light. See excavations made visible through stunning glass floors. A licensed local guide will show you highlights from the museum's collection of more than 4,000 artifacts, which include votive offerings to Athena, statues of the Caryatids, and a glass atrium built-in alignment with the Parthenon. Get a sense of what the city looked like in days gone by with 3D exhibits and a plexiglass floor that reveals the ruins of an ancient Athenian neighborhood.

The tour was insightful. The guide was very knowledgeable. The only caveat is that we had to wait quite long to get started. The tour at the museum was the 2nd part for most participants - but no for (Read More)us - after a 1st part at the Akropolis.

The biggest advantage of purchasing tickets in advance was that we were able to enter without having to wait in line to buy tickets on the day.
