Educational and Insightful

Published on Dec, 2024

Very insightful. The tour guide did a great job at explaining all the history and was passionate about it. My teens enjoyed it. I recommend.

Alexandria was a great guide - very informative with good english

Published on Oct, 2024

Alexandria was a very good guide, easy to understand and wealth of knowledge. Pace was good and timing too eg for entry into Acropolis, missing the queues. Really made it a very good tour. Only negative was booking T&C said arrive 15 mins early, then email the day before said be there 30mins before!!! Crazy early - only needed 5/10 mins to distribute ear pieces/tickets and if you are late then should be your fault.

Great guide, very nice walk around town. Really interesting stop at the archeological museum. Everything was pleasant and very informative.

I learned so much, great tour!

Published on Jun, 2024

Our tour guide, Sissy was incredibly knowledgeable and fascinating. I’ve done dozens of walking tours and have never been on a tour with a tour guide so knowledgeable. I initially only had the acropolis/city walking tour but when she said she was also scheduled to do the acropolis museum tour I booked that tour with her and so glad I did. Sissy was a wealth of information and learned so much about mythology and Ancient Greek life. Highly. Recommended
