5.00I travel a fair bit. The Discover Athens Walking City Tour was the first walking tour I have done in all my travels and it was the best way to get a snapshot of the layout of central Athens and the history of the area. Katerina was very knowledgeable and I particularly enjoyed learning about the history of Athens and Greece. Katerina was friendly and engaging, everything she shared caught my interest! Without hesitation, I highly recommend a walking tour with Katerina.
Thoroughly enjoyable tour of Athens.
