Yanna was Amazing, size of group not great for the price point.

Our guide, Yanna was great. She was friendly, knowledgable, patient and overall amazing! My problem was with the size of the group and the dual language. For the price point, about $220 per person, I was expecting a smaller group and certainly a single language tour. We had about 30 people in our group. She would give the explanation in Spanish and then in English. It would have been better to have either 2 guides - 1 Spanish and 1 English or a larger English only group. The dual language meant significant wasted time - for each group - to wait for explanations of the other group. Additionally, we spent significant time waiting for others to catch up. Yanna was very clear that we were to make no stops and needed to keep up with the group, but we still spent significant time waiting for others to catch up. A smaller group would have made this situation better. Either that or just don't make repeated stops for people who cannot follow simple instructions. All in all a great day that could have been made better without as much wasted time.
Great trip!

The trip and guide were great , but the young driver coming back was not , she was running in circles in Athens center spending a lot of time, we decide to walk from the parliament to our hotel she went by twice within 30 mnts. Also the 20 bucks to the beach , we thought we pay at the restaurant but those 20 bucks were on top of , I still recommend it because the food was good and the location is great and the guide take you and pick you from there you just have to enjoy it ❤️
