The audio app with this ticket provided by Key Tour is poor. It is difficult to find what artifact is highlighted next in the app because no room number is provided and the artifacts are out of order according to the museum map. There is no logical flow. Some artifacts have also moved locations in the museum. It’s best to ask a museum curator where each artifact is located along with a museum map to find room numbers. Or update the app so it’s accurate with a logical flow! I would recommend getting the audio tour provided by the museum itself. The app from Key Tour was a waste of time.

It is an easy process to book the experience and there are lots of other options to choose from. Highly reccomended
The ticket link did not work. I will never book with you again
I was unable to download the tickets…. So I had to stand in the long line to purchase additional tickets… In effect, I paid twice for my experience.
The audio tour part was not good and well organized. Paid 41 per person when entry was only 20 per person. Not worth the extra cost as live to buy tickets was not long.
An unhurried wonderful day, spent amongst beautiful things. A very relaxing experience, I spent 3 hrs, and stills much to see next time! Definitely worth a visit!
After booking and attending other tours, we booked this. This was a great option touse reward points in my opinion. I would suggest the earliest time possible to start as the crowds get rather big. You can scan the museum guide once inside to listen in varying languages. A lot of exhibits were closed or on loan but they still had a lot to see.
We went to Exarchia to visit the car museum and had seen this lovely building nearby and decided to go in. It was very interesting and fabulous to see all the exhibits that have been saved for future generations to enjoy as well as us. The building itself is a work of art and a thing of beauty in a large modern city
If you love history this is your place. You should be prepared before going otherwise you will be overwhelmed by the number of exhibitions of importance that are easily overlooked. (The downloaded tour didn’t match the museum. Experience)
Fascinating museum in Athens with a truly unique and well curated gallery. Highly recommend for a nice morning out!
Having the digital tickets helped us get into a shorter, faster line on Tuesday when the museum opened at 1 pm and there were a lot of people waiting to get in.
There are plenty of interesting displays and statues to see and the museum has plenty of space so that you can see everything without feeling rushed or crowded. The cafe has a good selection of food and drinks, and the shop has a lot to offer too.
Excellent museum with an amazing collection of statues and artifacts. Would definitely recommend a visit.
Outstanding collection of Greek artifacts. It is not crowded and has a coffee shop when one needs to take a break.
The tickets would not download properly and we had to buy tickets from someone else. Very disappointing.
Great museum. If you really want to explore and learn, plan for at least 5 to 6 hours. An audio guide is included with the basic entry ticket.
Lots of walking but truly amazing exhibits. I was impressed by the level of differentiation of the rooms. If you were looking for something in particular, you could find it. It was so well provided, there were places to sit, if needed. It was a wonderful experience.
Amazing arceoligical pices. There was so much to see. It's great how much people has been able to save those old old historical finds. For us it was bit too much. The museum is so large and when you're looking around, it starts to repeat it self with the vases.
The depth and breadth of the artifacts is amazing. I would recommend starting on the second floor to avoid the bottleneck at the entrance.
The museum itself is wonderful. However, you can get the tickets cheaper from the museum. At the museum there is a free included audio guide. The audioguide thru Viator is not intuitive and is like a scavenger hunt to find a few pieces that the tour company thought were worthy.
Lovely museum. So much to see. So glad we added this to our itinerary. It helps to put all of the pieces together if you see some of the sights in Athens.
Amazing collection, really very illustrative of ancient Greek History. Highly recommended for any Athens’ visitor.
It doesn’t describe all the exhibits. Just highlights. The tour was approximately 2 hours long. Very interesting
You need to experience this museum to understand civilization and ancient greek life. Impressive, thank you.
We were unable to use your tickets because you sent them to my email--which wasn't functioning in Greece. We arrived with a photo of the confirmation that came on my phone, but the Museum couldn't honor it. We had to purchase two MORE tickets in order to enter the Museum. We were there, tickets were available, and we had a great visit. I would not bother to buy tickets online again. It cost me MORE THAN double . . .
The museum is great and must visit..I'd recommend booking it directly on the museum website since it's half the price viator is offering it at. The English audio guide is also free at the museum, so it felt a little misleading that this was marketed on viator like it was coming with an extra perk otherwise unavailable.
A really impressive museum but, if you only visit one museum whilst in Athens, the Acropilis Museum trumps it.
The adventure would have been better with a human guide, the audio was horrible. Audio was not synced.
The ticket or voucher would not print. The museum would not accept your voucher even though I showed them the receipt. I had to pay separate to enter. I’m requesting a refund.
We came here with my brother and my girlfriend in july. We're under 25 so it was a free tour and to be honest I would have paid for the tickets anyway. The place is very well composed and has many different themed parts. One of the best museums that I've ever been to. We had limited time, so i could only spend 3 hours here. If you want to see and read everything and get absorbed in the atmosphere you need 4-5 hours. The staff were really friendly, they even let us in and out (because my brother wanted to buy some books nearby). So it really is an essential part of the "Athens experience" I highly recommend you try it out. Keep in mind that it may be a little too much for families with children. : )
Lots of interesting history for a few hours in a cool (temperature wise) setting. It was nice to get out of the heat of Athens for a few hours. Very interesting and good audio tour.
As you stroll through the museum and admire the artifacts and the majestic walls. The museum is the largest archaeological museum in Greece and one of the most important museums in the world devoted to ancient Greek art. You will see the Gold Death mask of Agamemnon, and the Ring of Theseus. There are also great sculpture like the statues of Zeus, Poseidon and Aphrodite..
Purchase a ticket with the audio guide for a richer experience. We visited on a Friday morning and so did many other local school children on field trips! Be sure to visit the highlighted sculptures from the tour. I especially loved the Mycenae jewelry collections!
Arriving at the museum the download for the tickets would not work. It gave an Error message. We had to pay admission to the museum despite already paying Viator. Now I cannot get my refund.
Ticket by the door entrance cost 6€. Here you sell it more expensive. Not worth buying in advance and over paying!! By straight away there. Cheaper
Rate 3. One reason is that some areas of museum was isolated without notice. Another reason is the guide programe is not updated well. Some room numbers and exhibited items are not matched or missing.
It was fantastic to see all the artifacts and learn the historical age (amazing) but we were missing an overview. Since most of us took some form of Greek history in school, we felt we still needed a refresher to put the story of leaders/ages together. If you purchase tickets online and show your pass to enter, you jump the line which is great, but are whisked into the museum with very little if no orientation. Happy to use a QR code to access a website or app, but nothing was offered. We searched for the website and a map and found one but still felt the organization of objects was random. The website has a virtual tour – great – but still needs that timeline.
never emailed actual tickets. emailed guide to audio but never sent ticket had to purchase at the museum. asked for a refund and denied refund. this vendor should be removed.
This collection is a must see if you’re visiting Athens. Laid out very nicely, you’ll want to allow 2-3 hours for your visit. Nice cafeteria downstairs also.
6/26/23 Athens Greece. I paid for admission for two to the National Archeological Museum with audio. No instructions for audio were included with the ticket as stated and instructions were not available through the museum. I respectfully requested a refund for the audio portion. To date I have not received a response. The cost was approximately double the cost if we had booked directly through the museum
It’s not necessary to buy skip the line tickets if going in the late afternoon. Also we purchased these tickets specifically to receive the audio explanation of the exhibits and when we arrived we were told no such audio tour exists at the museum. Will be submitting for a refund.
A fantastic museum, well organized, amazing pieces. A shame some sculptures are incomplete because of pilfering and are in other museums out of Greece. Pay attention to the hours, they open later on Tuesdays (which worked out wonderfully for us, we arrived a little while before opening unknowingly, and we able to be some of the first visitors inside
We purchased the skip the line ticket with audio. The audio portion was not working as instructed. The museum itself is extraordinary!! A must do!
Absolutely amazing museum and enjoyed hours there. Highly recommend to visit. Skipping the line was worth it
We were looking for less known artifacts, but ended up looking all! Great Experience . Pleasant coffee shop in the museum garden, too.
Very well laid out Museum to see all the history documenting Ancient Greece, however there was no audio tour?
These tickets got us in quickly and pleasantly. Do not miss this museum. Tremendous collection with (lucky us) excellent documentation telling us what we were looking at, where it is from, & why it is significant. Wished we had allowed ourselves more time.
Convenient for skipping the line at the entrance. You pay commissions
The museum is closed!!!!!!!!!!
アテネ考古学博物館は素晴らしいです。入って即!アガメムノンの黄金のマスクがあり、目を奪われますが、その他にも収蔵されているものは素晴らしいものばかりでした。昨年夏に大英博物館に行き、ギリシア、ローマの遺物を見て感激してきましたが、さすがに本場は凄いと思いました。小さな副葬品から、大きな大理石の神像まで、一つ一つ見て歩くと、3〜4時間はかかります。 一人で好きなものを自由に見られるチケットは有り難いです。
