Anna was great. She was so much more than tour guide. Anna told a story that kept us engaged the whole time and she did this with humor while including everyone in our group relating the story to our own life. Excellent service for the price we paid.

Our tour guide was Daphne - she was excellent! Very knowledgeable, and had clearly thought a lot about making the experience as good as possible - stopping in the shade when able, finding the best spots for photos. The tour itself was informative without being overwhelming, Daphne also used photos to show how the acropolis had changed over time - a nice touch. 5 stars

Amazing job by Caterina. She gave us so much historical information while still demonstrating ancient Greek relevance to the modern world. She also knew all the best shady spots! Excellent tour!
