I enjoyed a wonderful tour with Helen/Eleni - I had a wonderful time with Helen/Eleni as my guide/driver. She is knowledgeable and discussed interesting history about everywhere we went. We had so much fun talking. The drive was beautiful. She stopped for me to take pictures. She is flexible, so we could stay however long I wanted and see what I wanted. She is a safe driver. I highly recommend this tour with Helen/Eleni
