Great Tour with Annie!

Annie was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable, fun and did her very best to stay out of the sun as much as possible. Highly recommend this tour and Annie!

Great Acropolis tour

Acropolis tour was great, very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Expecting samples of food on the walk afterwards through Plaka, but apparently it’s not part of the tour (though the description said it was).

Wonderful Guide

Our guide was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and engaging. I highly recommend, especially if using our guide (not sure, but his name might be Michael or request the guide working on his PhD)
