Extraordinaria experiencia - We are a couple from Mexico and we were lucky enough to take this tour. The knowledge of the guide, Paris, is extraordinary. Not only in terms of culture, but also in ways of getting there earlier, avoiding crowds, and locating the best places where local people eat and drink. The same goes for the driver we had, Nicholas, who was indispensable in dealing with such a vibrant city full of people and cars. motorbikes and buses as is Athens. Thank you both and we hope to repeat the experience, now with our children. Jorge Villacana

Private half day tour - We absolutely loved our tour! It was a great way to see all of the city highlights in a private, efficient way! Not only did we do the acropolis but we went by parliament, the Olympic stadium and then we ended the tour going through various markets such as the meat market, fish market and veggie market. Then we went to a market where they sell fresh spices and we had a light tasting/lunch. It was fabulous! It was the perfect amount of history entering without feeling like it was too much.
