Fantastic Kick-off for Mother-Daughter Greek Adventure - Memorable Tour with Dimos K.

We booked this tour through our travel agent, and had an AMAZING experience! Dimos K. was our guide. As a native Athenian with a Master's degree in History, he was knowledgeable, personable, and had a lovely sense of humor. In addition to the information he shared, he also knew the perfect angles for stunning photography, the hidden walkways of Anafiotika, and introduced us to our first freddo cuppacinos! Dimos is a gem, and he set the pace for a fantastic holiday!

Excellent tour and tour guide

Alexia was friendly, interesting and knowledgeable… not to mention a great photographer! Alexia made sure to stop and talk in shaded areas and that we stayed well hydrated in the heat. 10 out of 10!

FABULOUS EXPERIENCE in ATHENS

Maria was FABULOUS as our guide. She met us at our hotel and catered our walking tour to what we wished to see! We saw the highlights around town and loved the Acropolis. She was very knowledgeable about the history and taught us a lot. We loved sitting outside at the quaint coffee shop, and tasting some authentic greek foods in the square. Highly recommend this tour with Maria as your guide.
