Loved Mrs Nelly! She was very knowledgeable about Greek history, great conversationalist and overall a polite, patient and lovely woman. Would recommend 💯. You would see all the important parts of Athens, hear the stories and take as many pics as you want.
Another "Tours by Locals" tour that was excellent. Our guide, Nota, was very enthusiastic and knew so much about the sights and the history that it was like being taught by your favorite teacher. The tour itself included the area around the Acopolis as well as the Acropolis Museum itself. Very ,very impressive. Quite a bit of walking and steps, but not so bad. The pace of the tour was very relaxed, and Nota made sure we were comfortable.

Very knowledgeable guide, leisurely pace. Was able to flag specific things to (re)visit on my own. Excellent choice for solo travelers like me.
We were the only booking at the time and date we selected so ended up with a private tour with Mrs. Dulce. She was very knowledgeable and took us around at a nice pace providing lots of history and stories. We did the Athens Walking Tour the day after we arrived so that we could then explore the sights we visited later in the week by ourselves. We would highly recommend this tour and Mrs. Dulce!
Dear Customer We are so glad you have enjoyed the tour via MTM DMC Ltd and Trip Advisor. I hope to see you again soon. Kindest Regards
