“Perfect private tour for 4 - What a great little private tour!!! Love that we skipped the line to go to Acropolis or it would’ve taken extra time and lots of people to fight with for pictures. Lake was beautiful and fish spa was just a little extra. Definitely the 3 highlights of Athens” (Reviewed at: 2024-10-04)
