5.00Great activity to start with when you arrive in Athens. It gives you the opportunity to go through main parts of Athens with all main sights and you get the first orientation through Athens. Our guide Rena was very nice, very knowledgable, she told us interesting mythological stories, true ancient facts, then about the first kings of Greece and who created the Royal Gardens. And a lot of fun facts how about modern Greece. We liked the tour very much and recommend it!
Such a lovely walk through time in beautiful Athens

5.00We had a great time with Beyla, the Athens circuit is well chosen, the rhythm allows you to admire the monuments and the explanations are clear. It is not only a historic visit but also full of anecdotes about the situation in the country. Thank you, Beyla!
