“I am on a solo trip in Greece and while I managed to hang out with a friend here for a bit, we both had very different ideas of how we wanted to spend our time. This tour was perfect for me. We met at the office at 11:30 which was close to my hotel and the Acropolis and walked over together. Aidli was exceptionally knowledgeable about so many of the ruins and pointed out things I would have missed had I gone on my own. She was willing to take photos for us and ensured we were all safe and having a good time. I would do this again.”

“Really enjoyed this tour - the guide was friendly and full of interesting insights that added to the experience. It was my first time in the city so the first part of the tour was useful to get a feel for some different parts of the city - but the Acropolis was obviously the highlight. It's a long walk up, but broken up with stops to explain some of the different ruins on the south slope (which was quieter than the main entrance)”
