Private Shopping Tour! - The tour was private, which was nice! The guide found us only because I was holding the printed voucher and approached us. We wouldn't have known it was him otherwise, especially in such a busy area. We chatted briefly about the plan. I mentioned that we were hoping for mostly shopping and the items we were interested in. Dennis was very patient and great. He walked slowly, pointed out various shops and items and the history behind them. We hit the main shopping areas both touristy and the markets. We never had an issue pausing to stop in a store to shop. Sure, you could do this on your own, but having someone guide us so we can focus on the fun part was really relaxing.

Shop til you drop - Our guide led us through the markets of Athens. She made sure we got great deals on everything we bought. If you just want to shop. This is the way to go. Not just tourist shops. Great day !!! Thanks

More than just shops - Our guide Dennis provided more than a shopping tour pointing out historical facts and taking us to an area outside of standard tour path on our request.

Nice few hours in Monastraki - My mother in law, my niece & I had a Fun day shopping with Helena. She helped us navigate the shops & find great treasures.
We felt safer with her and the shop owners gave us better deals.

Exciting - Oh yes, I had an enormous amount of self satisfaction going shopping. There were lovely items to purchase and the prices was right as long as you bargain for a lower price.

Shopping in Athens/City Centre - Much cheaper to shop here than in other Europe countries like Italy. There is an assortment of high end shops, as well as your typical market type shops. Feel free to barder with market type vendors as they are competing for business. I didn't pay asking price for anything.

A bit of a disappointment - We booked the tour in order to give us an idea of the different areas in the downtown. The guide was very knowledgeable but she did not have the personality to hold the attention of most of our very small (5 people) group. I stayed close to her and leaned a great deal but the rest of our family group simply walked along.
