Our guide was amazing! You can certainly see these sights on your own but would miss the history of them. This tour was incredible because of our guide and her knowledge of the history of the Gods and the buildings and of Athens. She had so many interesting stories. You could tell how proud she was of her heritage and her country. It touched my heart.

The tour was an amazing start to our stay in Athens. It was a refresher and a great lesson about the history of Athens and the Greek mythology. Dina is an extremely good guide. She had also a lot of recommendations what to do in Athens (sights, restaurants, excursions).
