Athens tour - Going up to the Acropolis was the highlight. We never thought we could make it up. But the experience of being on top and seeing all of Athens was remarkable.

Our driver/guide Nicholas was amazing - Nicholas was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond in so many ways. We started the day with Greek Christmas cookies, he took drone photos of us at Mount Lycabettus and made the day very special in so many ways. Unfortunately the day of our tour there was a surprise strike of the guards at the Acropolis and the Agora so they were not open, so Nicholas very kindly added a trip to the Temple of Poseidon onto our itinerary which was a real treat. We could not rate Nicholas more highly and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Athens.

Worth it - Saw all the highlights on Athens Greece with no stress about how to get there. Niklas was our driver and tour guide. He did a fantastic job explaining all the sites we visited and also took the time to make recommendations for places to eat for the duration of our stay.
