Fabulous Tour—both sites and commentary

Venardos was a great guide for viewing the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the Agora. There were big crowds as we traversed the monuments, but he took his time, kept the group together, and gave detailed explanations about the history. Touring the Agora was an added bonus. We got more than our money’s worth!
