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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Skilled tour director who provided so much context about the longstanding history of Greece. We have wanted to see this museum for many years and the Viatour guide from Warmpenguine did not disappoint. She did an outstanding job.

Having a licensed guide made all the difference to our museum visit and we highly recommend it. She was able to tell us the stories behind each gallery while taking us directly to the highlight exhibits in each. Along the way she helped us see things that matched our interests. It never felt scripted - very personalized to us with plenty of room for questions and conversation.
