Exciting tour with very little flat - Exciting and highly educated guide. It adapts to its audience. She is very kind and attentive to our questions Two small flats: – we have too often stood listening to him quickly causing back pain and foot pain; it would have been better to walk more or sit more frequently - no earphones to listen to the guide; so you have to listen when there is a lot of ambient noise

Excellent visit! - We really enjoyed our visit to the Acropolis, Olympian Zeus and the Ancient Agora, largely thanks to our guide Vassia, who was able to tell us about the different monuments by telling us the history of their construction in connection with episodes from Greek mythology! We didn't see the 4 hours of the visit go by! Thank you Vasya!
