Book the private tour! - We had a fantastic day with Eleni in Athens. Visiting the Acropolis and Parthenon with a private guide is absolutely the way to go. She had so much knowledge and information to share with us and it made our visit an exciting learning experience. We had a delicious lunch in Athens-off the beaten path and were able to enjoy a lovely experience. I would recommend-book this tour (with Eleni specifically) again without any hesitation. She did a fantastic job

Private tour - Our guide was very knowledgable. We have a 16 and 14 yrs old kids, so she asked us if the information shared was good or if we wanted less or more, We saw all the important areas and she had photos to show us what the places look back in the days, We also went to a local restaurant she suggested. Nice, friendly and affordable place.

Great tour, great experience! - Really enjoyed our professional private tour in Athens. Insightfully and with passion we learned about the stories that had been taken place at Athen's most historic sights. I highly recommend booking a tour and be moved by ancient Greek history.

Enjoyed a great Athens tour - We were in Athens for a business trip and, with my 4 colleagues, we decided to organize this visit to the Athens historical monuments and hidden gems. It was the best choice as Eleni was a perfect guide and gave us the opportunity to learn a lot about the history. I really believe that a great guide can always make the difference when visiting a great place. We are now looking forward to our next trip to Athens.
