It was an enriching experience to see Athens with a guide who has such a vast knowledge of the city and its history. We opted for the private tour so that we can go at our own pace - we had our 4 year-old daughter with us, and I like to take a bit of extra time to take photos - both of which can be a challenge in a group. Our guide was very accommodating and we loved seeing Athens through her eyes. My daughter remembers some of the stories of Athena & the Parthenon and has been telling her friends and teachers all about it. :-)

Anna was phenomenal! We had the most amazing time discussing not just the sites we toured, but also Greek history, philosophy and language origins. She was knowledgeable, friendly and made history come alive. Cannot recommend enough!

Artemis was very knowledgeable and interesting. The walking tour gave us a lot of interesting sites and some very good suggestions for dinner. Taking us to the little place that makes the Greek pies was very nice and tasty.

Alex, our tour guide was excellent. Shared a wealth of knowledge and brilliant insights all throughout. A very good walking tour overall.

Sofi was our guide and was extremely knowledgable and friendly and made the entire tour an interesting and fun time.
