Choose Vicki as you guide! Private guide is the only way to go for this museum!
C1473DEdeborahw, Apr 2026
Honestly, you should choose Vicki. Especially if you are from the US, Canada or the EU. English is her first language and she's very easy to understand. While in Greece and Turkey we found that the accents of some of our guides made it much harder to understand what they were saying. She is so knowledgeable,,, she was able to answer all of our questions. And there were a bunch. The very best part of our tour with her is that she gave us a very solid base for our understanding of the culture, and history of Greece. The resident historian on the Viking ship wasn't even half as good, if you need a comparison
Magnificent tour with a magnificent guide.

Superb experience. Vasilis, an archaeologist and passionate about the history of his country, accompanied us on the visit, explaining everything in detail, and showing us and explaining the most important works of art of this wonderful museum, in which there are remains in whose discovery he has collaborated. It was a privilege to do the tour with someone so qualified.

Vickie was a joy! She was an excellent docent covering millennia of Greek prehistory and history in 2 hours. She gave the artifacts context and flow. We highly recommend her and would definitely engage her again.

Natalie is an outstanding tour guide. She read the group, set an agenda, and took us directly to the museum highlights of interest to our group. Her commentary was informative and entertaining. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history, and made the most of our limited time.
