The stop in Arachova was a delightful bonus, offering us the chance to wander through this charming mountain village.

“We absolutely loved our tour with Bianca. We have three boys (10, 7 and 3) and she found a way to involve each and every one of them.

She could read our family to a t and was really able to make sure we had the best experience based on energy levels and attitudes. She really is Greek openness and kindness epitomized. The tour is a great way to get your bearings and find pieces of Athens for you…”

“My three children (15, 13, 11) and I took this tour with Myriam and found it quite educational. She discussed several buildings and their ties to Greek Mythology, she took us to some of the local markets along the way and discussed the buildings we passed and their significance in Athens, and then we wandered through some secluded and not well-known streets in the Acropolis region where we were able to get a different view of several historical sites. Myriam was knowledgeable and very informative of anything we asked. I would definitely do another tour with her!”
