Highlights
- Acropolis Museum - Experience the riveting journey of the city’s transition to democracy as you admire the exhibits of the Archaic Gallery. Weaving around monsters, heroes, gods and iconic representations of the human body, you’ll follow the evolution of ancient art fueled by an exciting storytelling concept.
Continuing to the next floor, in the Parthenon Gallery, you’ll get straight into the heart of the Parthenon and see the narrative of the Panathenaic Procession, pieced together on the frieze of the temple, coming alive. Engrossing tales from Greek Mythology depicted on the metopes and pediments of the temple, such as the birth of goddess Athena and the battle of the Centaurs, will fire up your imagination.
Your tour ends with Propylaia, Athena Nike & Erechtheion Gallery presenting the culminating age of Greek style, the classical period, and some of the most famed artworks of Ancient Athens, including the iconic Caryatids, the curvaceous maidens who have witnessed the turbulent 2.500-year story of the Acropolis and are waiting to share it with you.

"Family Adventure: A Museum Tour Worth Every Penny!" - This purchase proved to be incredibly worthwhile! My children, aged 12 and 13, thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour. Thanks to the tour's accessibility on their cellphones, they were able to navigate the museum effortlessly based on the provided instructions. Despite the crowd, the skip-the-line tickets swiftly ushered us to the bag checkpoint within the museum premises. The guide offered accurate and descriptive accounts of the history and stories, which captivated our interest throughout the tour.

Don't Miss the Open-Air Archaeology Site Beneath the Museum! - Excellent museum; well worth two or three hours, if not more. Don't miss the archaeological site located in the open-air pavilion beneath the museum -- it's fascinating, and included in your ticket (or is it even free? I don't remember).

The Acropolis Comes to Life with the Viator Audio Tour - The Acropolis Museum is really a beautiful space that would have been overwhelming had we not opted for this Viator Skip the Line and Audio Tour package. We had a great time exploring the museum. It was also nice to be able to stop the tour and have lunch at the Museum Restaurant to recharge a bit.

Good if you want to spend the better part of a day in the museum - I only recommend this tour if you are looking to spend a strong half day in the museum. The audio doesnt cover every exhibit, but covers enough to keep you moving. It also gives directions to each piece its detailing, which was very helpful to us. Originally we were let to believe we could do this tour in about 2 hrs, but there was no way. Be prepared to spend most of the day here, and if you're not a museum person who wants to spend hours looking at chunks of rock and marble, you may want to pass. If it still sounds good, another positive was even though the description of the items may be short, the audio gave lots of other information. So for instance, if you were looking at a statue of Athena, after the brief description of the statue, the audio would go on for a couple of minutes to talk about Athena in general and what she and her temples meant and represented to the Greeks.

Fast Access But… - Getting fast access to enter the museum was the only advantage. After that, there was no benefit to having the audio tour. The guidance and map were poorly laid out and there was no easy way to connect the audio with what I was looking at. I should have purchased the audio tour offered by the museum.
