This is an excellent tour for those wanting to tieall the exhibits together! - This was an excellent tour for those wanting to tie all the exhibits together! My wife and I had been to the National Archeological Museum in Athens once before but spent only 40 minutes there. This museum is a MUST SEE if you are in Athens. Even if you are not a history buff, you will find it fascinating. Needless to say, we wanted more so we booked this tour for our last of 4 days in the city. Viator makes it very easy to book these tours and their trust in the different tour operators isn't unwarranted. Communication from Warmpenguin was great and our guide was right on time and super-enthusiastic to share the history of her country with us. What I especially liked was that she asked what we already knew and had seen so that she could tailor our experience. The Museum was exceptionally crowded due to cruise ship tours (we were told that they were closing the Acropolis due to extreme Summer heat) and our guide was very good at navigating the crowds so we had an optimal experience. I do recommend that you have the guide pre-purchase the skip the line tickets for a seamless, more exclusive experience. I would definitely recommend this tour company and the tour itself for future travelers!

Barbara and George are the best tour guides! - Barbara and George were great tour guides and people-wranglers. We hit the ground running every day at 7:30am to get to locations before it got too hot. Barbara in particular was very knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited over three days. They both were very aware of the needs and concerns of their older clientele, making sure we had sufficient breaks on the long bus rides and providing options for those who were not up to walking for the whole tour, particularly in the hot weather. In addition, they arranged great lunches at local restaurants!

A treasure of a tour! - Katarina, our amazing guide, provided a rich tour through this world-class museum. She selected highlights that set forth several engaging themes that helped one understand how sculpture as an art form first developed--among other wonderful topics. Talk about bringing archeological treasures to life! This private tour for our party of four was a treasure! Kudos!

A "Greek treasure" at the Athens National Archeology Museum - We went to the National Archeology Museum and were greeted with a smile and energy. Andronache was knowledgeable as she started us on a historical adventure from the beginning to modern times. I loved the extra learning of the stories behind the artifacts. I made the day. I highly recommend her.

Personalized tour - Warmpenguine provided an excellent tour guide. We felt very satisfied with our tour. She allowed us to ask questions and she personalized the experience for us. We are coming back next year and hope to book with them again.

Informative - Vicki was very knowledgeable. Tour was very informative. Some time wasted in the beginning as Vicki was inside the museum waiting and I was outside in front per the instructions. So better detail on where to actually meet would be helpful.

Great guide - Vicki was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and I saw everything that was on my list plus more. I would suggest better instructions on meeting point. Vicki was inside waiting and I was in front of the building waiting. We finally found each other but instructions could be clearer

National Archaelogical Museum : a Must See place at Athens - The National Archaeological Museum visit was good but 3 sections inside the museum (like ART section) were closed due to lack of manpower. The guide provided by GET YOUR GUIDE.Com was very knowledgeable and made it interesting.
