5.00Our guide, Demos, made the tour EXCEPTIONAL.!! He was very knowledgeable and able to answer all questions asked by the group. However, what made it the best was how he made historical facts relatable and connected them to our current way of life. His humor and down to earth personality made the tour fun!
Demos and the acropolis were amazing!

5.00The Acropolis and neighborhood tour was well worth doing. The Acropolis tour was a bit of uphill walking but Anna easy by stopping at points of interest and enlightening us to their significance.. The neighborhood tour was wonderful. Anna took us through several different areas and offered suggestions for shopping and restaurants. Anna was very knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic and appeared to truly enjoy what she does which really made the tour worth doing.
