Our guide, Maria, and...

Published on Sep, 2024

Our guide, Maria, and driver, Nickos, were both excellent. Maria struck the perfect balance between sharing history, telling local jokes, and giving us time to explore on our own. We absolutely loved Athens, especially Plaka. The view from the hill was stunning, and the Greek food was finger-licking good! The Acropolis Museum was really interesting, and believe it or not, it had air conditioning. Also, our van in Athens had the best A/C compared to all the other Greek ports we visited. Nickos is an outstanding driver—very safe, professional, and friendly. It was an excellent tour from start to finish!
