Excellent tour! - Our tour guide, Elena, was super friendly, told us some great stories, and had an incredible sense of humor. There was a LOT of walking and the sites were fairly crowded, but it was a very efficient way to explore the highlights of Athens. Elena also covered a delicious meal for us at the end of our tour, which was a nice touch that we were not expecting. Highly recommend!

Demos and the acropolis were amazing! - Such a beautiful setting. Demos was very personable and knowledgeable. He made the acropolis come alive! And the Plaka walk is not to miss! The connector to new and old Greece. Plus the best kebabs in Greece. A must try!

Acropolis tour worth doing with Anna - The Acropolis and neighborhood tour was well worth doing. The Acropolis tour was a bit of uphill walking but Anna easy by stopping at points of interest and enlightening us to their significance.. The neighborhood tour was wonderful. Anna took us through several different areas and offered suggestions for shopping and restaurants. Anna was very knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic and appeared to truly enjoy what she does which really made the tour worth doing.

Enjoyable tour - This tour was absolutely FULL of history and information. Our tour guide was very thorough and knowledgeable. FYI if anyone in your group has mobility issues they can get permission to use the elevator but you must tell them when you book as they cannot get access last minute.

Excellent Tour - Our guide, Lisa, was excellent. She had so much information and paced it all perfectly. Our tour was changed to include the Acropolis Museum instead of the Plaka which ended up being better than the original itinerary! Especially with Lisa as our guide
