Fantastic Kick-off for Mother-Daughter Greek Adventure - Memorable Tour with Dimos K.

We booked this tour through our travel agent, and had an AMAZING experience! Dimos K. was our guide. As a native Athenian with a Master's degree in History, he was knowledgeable, personable, and had a lovely sense of humor. In addition to the information he shared, he also knew the perfect angles for stunning photography, the hidden walkways of Anafiotika, and introduced us to our first freddo cuppacinos! Dimos is a gem, and he set the pace for a fantastic holiday!

Excellent tour and tour guide

Alexia was friendly, interesting and knowledgeable… not to mention a great photographer! Alexia made sure to stop and talk in shaded areas and that we stayed well hydrated in the heat. 10 out of 10!

Excellent Acropolis Tour

Maria was a pleasant and extremely knowledgeable tour guide. We learned so much about Greek history, archeology and mythology, as well as the birth of democracy. My only criticism would be that I was expecting the tour to be a little more food-focused than it ended up being. We only had souvlaki and bougatsa, which were both delicious, but expected more food related stops as part of this tour.
