Ono was amazing, he went above and beyond. He took us to places that were non touristy, we learned a lot about local history. There was not a question he couldn’t answer. He even helped us to travel to our next destination safely. We would highly recommend him.

We had an amazing time with our guide Natasha! We visited all of the highlights of Athens and still had time for some breaks at great restaurants in Plaka for refreshments and some small bites. Natasha is an amazing person and we can't recommend her enough. 5 stars!
