5.00I am an older (70) woman travelling solo. The company & my tour guide, Carlos, kept in touch wirh details as the tour grew closer. Met at the assigned meeting place & time. It was a solo tour so Carlos was able to go at a pace I could keep up with. It was an orientation tour that included many sights & neighborhoods. He explained the areas fully & was able to answer my questions. The neighborhoods & areas were all so different. 1 block could make a difference between the hustle & bustle of people, vehicles, motorbikes, & scooters & the quiet calm of narrow walkways beneath the Acropolis. Carlos took pictures for me, helped me get an Uber & waited with ne until the Uber came. Delightful tour that I thoroughly enjoyed.
This is a must tour....

5.00This is a must tour. Specially if you’re first time in Athens. I am glad I got this at my first day of staying in Athens because you get familiar with city center, restaurants, shopping places etc. Carlos was such a nice and patient tour leader. He was very flexible with the schedule and such a great attitude. I highly recommend it.
