A wonderful tour of the Acropolis and Museum - Everything was very well organised, with great communication and clear instructions on how to find the office. Once there the people were very friendly and efficient. Our tour guide, Georgia, was excellent. Interesting and knowledgable, she took everything at a steady pace - there was no rush - and she was happy to chat and answer questions. It was an excellent experience from start to finish - highly recommended.

Mykonos Island Minimum Two Night Stay from Athens - The ferry is Blue Star Ferries from Athens to Siros, Tinos and to Mykonos. We needed two nights there to enjoy Ornos Beach. It was fabulous but closes for winter around 20 October. In summer there are thousands of people. The fall is our preference.

Entertaining tour guide. - Our tour guide (Orestes- spelling?) was very knowledgeable and entertaining in his delivery. He had a great sense of humor! He paced the tour appropriately and provided key locations for a little rest and shade as we progressed the long hike to the Parthenon. We would definitely recommend him to others.

Greece walking tour - Our guide was excellent! Told us the history of area, from 5th century to WWll story. We walked at a good pace, with breaks as needed for various physical levels of the group. Our guide allowed time for questions and pictures of the amazing structures.
