    Petros was the absolute best guide. My husband is an architect and Athens has been his dream trip. We celebrated our 25th anniversary and Petros was able to somehow squeeze everything into one day without us feeling rushed. He recommended the best lunch for us and it ended up being our favorite meal of the entire trip. We can’t wait to come back again someday and we will definitely be back asking for Petros to guide us around.

  • This was the best tour yet!!!
