Excellent small group walking tour of central Athens that includes numerous key historical sites. Our guide, Sevi, was very knowledgeable, friendly and had excellent English. Dinner was very enjoyable and we would return for a meal if we had time. It is a lot of walking (especially if you have already done a lot of walking in Athens the same day) - wear good shoes!

We did this our first night in town. We had a great guide, Ilia. We learned so much and really enjoyed our group. The dinner was so good! They let us select a salad to share, an appetizer to share and our own main dish. We went back to the restaurant for an additional meal 2 days later. Highly recommend this tour.
