Many visitors to Athens make a stop at the Acropolis Museum but completely miss the world-class National Archaeological Museum located north of the other tourist sights. Not so if you take this tour! Other excellent sites that shouldn’t be missed such as the Panathenaic Stadium, the Greek Parliament on Syntagma Square, etc…) are located a little further away from the Acropolis and easy to reach with the wheelchair accessible van.
