Walking tour of Greece was amazing! - We really enjoyed our walking tour with Effie this week. We started at 8 am which was perfect since it’s been so hot in Greece. A driver picked us up from our ship/port and we met Effie who took us on a fun and educational walking tour. Coffee was included in the tour and it was a perfect break to sit and relax for a few. Our 12 year old said she thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Effie took time to ask her questions about Greek mythology and educate all of us about the history and tales of Greece. I felt that the price of this tour was more than reasonable and less than that offered by our cruise line.

Amazing 2 days Athens tour experience - Amazing 2 days tour experience !
Extremely professional agency (Be a Greek) and incredible italian speaker guide (Alexia).
The agency guys called me one month before my trip to accomplish an assessment about our family desires and objectives. Then they tailored a personalized experience that shared with us a couple of weeks before.
The actual tour definetely exceeded our expectations !
Thanks a lot to Bianca, Antonis and Alexis.

Great tour through the heart of Athens and it's history up to modern times - We had a great tour with Maria(Martina). She provided us with a great background on Athenian history and how the Greeks contributed to Western Civilization. Additionally, we spent time exploring some of the hidden gems, such as the Plaka neighborhood.
We also had time to take some Instagram worthy photos of the highlights of Athens, such as the Acropolis, the Agora and neighborhood's in Athens.
Our guide was knowledgeable, patient and pleasant during the tour. She also customized the tour to suit our needs, so that we would see something different, as we had conducted a tour the day before.
Highly recommend this tour and Maria as your guide.
Fun travels,
Mark
