About this experience

This is a private tour — not a group tour.
No strangers, no added participants. The experience is exclusively for you and your companions. What will we see?
Together, we’ll explore the world-renowned Acropolis Museum, home to some of the most important treasures of ancient Greece.

Highlights include:

Artifacts from the slopes of the Acropolis – everyday life of ancient Athenians.

The Archaic Gallery – hauntingly beautiful statues from before the Parthenon era.

The Parthenon Hall – a stunning glass gallery aligned with the temple itself, displaying the original frieze and sculptural masterpieces.

The Caryatids – the graceful maidens of the Erechtheion, each with her own story.

And many more masterpieces that reveal the soul of ancient Athens.

Your licensed guide will walk you through the myths, meanings, and historical context behind each exhibit — in a way that’s lively, informative, and fully tailored to your pace and questions.
