Personalized Athens Tour w/Guide

Marselo picked us up right at our hotel and did a great job making the tour what we wanted. For about 4 hours, he took us all over Athens where we saw ancient ruins, Olympic stadium, important buildings, and the changing of the guard! We even do a short hike up to the highest church in Athens with beautiful 360 degree views of the entire Athens area. Experience was awesome.
