Fantastic Walking Tour

Christina was awesome. She was really knowledgeable and very friendly. We had a small group, so we felt as if we were getting some amazing 1 to 1 service.

Guided morning tour to Acropolis

Mr Neris was a great guide, knowledgeable and talked well articulated and in a proper pace. When he looked around his mouth changed position in relation to the microphone which made the sound sometimes too loud, sometimes too low. A head mounted microphone would be much better. Nevertheless a very good experience.

A fascinating history lesson

Great experience with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We really wouldn't have appreciated the incredible history of the Acropolis and Plaka had we not booked this tour.

Very well-preserved and reconstructed sculptures and monuments.

I think it is a very motivating excursion that you can really enjoy. I advise people to pay for a guide who will tell them many interesting facts.
