I did two tours. Delphi and Athens. Both were well-organised and relaxing. The guides were
interesting and gave clients opportunities to wander around at their own pace .
Our tour guide was very pleasant and interactive. We enjoyed learning about the Greek history among seeing the breathtaking views of Athens
I highly suggest this tour for anyone looking to learn more about Athens huge history and the historical significance of the Parthenon. There is so much cool history here. Our guide provided us with all the important historical details we needed in such a way that we never got bored or tired. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Acropolis Museum, it's a new modern and clean building, structured in a way that helps you move around and explore each section. The driver was an excellent driver, the streets close to the Parthenon are extremely narrow and he was able to navigate them without any issue.
Our Guide for the tour, Kostas, (hope I got the name) was excellent. He made the tour so much fun.
Our guide Costa was very knowledgeable and quite comprehensive in describing and explaining the important details of what we were seeing. An excellent tour and experience.
Amazing tour guide, tour company very organized. Would definitely book again

We loved our guide, Catarina,! She was enthusiastic and fun and was great navigating all of us through the crowds at the Acropolis. She was very accommodating to all for their needs (rest rooms, etc. ) We loved hearing all of the historical knowledge and archaeological wonders of that whole area. The Acropolis Museum was beautiful. Wished we had more time there but no way to fit it all in.
