Margarita was the best tour guide we have ever had! Very nice, knowledgeable, and explained everything at the right level. Excellent and would recommend her to anyone!!!
We had a great tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very open to questions. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and thought it was a phenomenal value and introduction to the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the museum as well as to the history. Strongly recommend.
