About this tour
This is a short planning call for travellers deciding which of Athens's many museums to prioritise. Sofia asks about your interests, from ancient sculpture to twentieth century Greek painting, and matches them against the museums worth your limited time. She draws on years of visiting these collections herself to explain what each one does well.
The call is built around your questions rather than a fixed script, so Sofia asks first about how much time you have and what you already plan to see. She then talks through two or three museums that fit, explaining what makes each collection distinct. You leave with a short written route and opening hours.
This suits travellers overwhelmed by choice who want a local's shortlist rather than a full guidebook. It also helps anyone travelling with children or limited time who needs to prioritise.

What happens if the call drops?

Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
