I booked for 3 adults, myself and my 2 granddaughters. We loved it because we could have a say in what we wanted to do. George offered options and we decided. He also opened up a new idea of experiencing Athens neighborhoods and the different vibes of the city. The combination with the ancient history and sites was a good balance. We recommend George as a guide for someone new to Athens

The tour was a great experience, and was very informative. George, my guide, tailored the experience to my interest in architecture very well. We both had a good time visiting several of Athens many neighborhoods and museums. All together, this was a wonderful way to experience the city, as George’s expertise was far more beneficial than any internet ‘top 10’ list would be.
