Mathew was an amazing guide, bilingual with our tour. Very professional yet friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. I think the tour co need to alter times to include a break either for coffee or early l7ncy break. Too long without a break. But tour was fantastic value for money and interesting. Well done Mathew Linda and family,

Guide speaking French very well, by starting the excursion in the morning it allowed us to visit the museum before too many visitors flocked to the aisles, perfect in these conditions. However, provide good non-slip shoes for the visit of the acropolis, many marble floors and therefore can become slippery.

Fue un poco confuso manejar el tour al principio en dos idiomas, Francés e Inglés. A pesar de que entendíamos los dos idiomas creo que sería bueno separarlo y con un poco de más información histórica. Se que actualmente debemos tener todos los lineamiento por la pandemia, pero me hubiera gustado tener más información histórica durante todos el recorrido.
