Our Driver/guide was extremely knowledge about the city. Vasilis was constantly reminding us on how to be safe and have a good time in Athens. We are shoppers so he extended our time in The Plaka shopping area.
The Guide in the Acropolis was very flexible and really listened to us to be able to give us the tour that would suit
Us the best. The included lunch was amazing…they just kept bringing food…
