Informative and fun!

Incredible tour! I feel so much more knowledgeable about Athens and her neighborhoods! Our tour guide Mary Kate was so friendly and took us to many historical spots unknown to us. Note: we had one meal during the tour at 3 hours in so I suggest eating before hand. We stopped for a coffee and an olive oil and honey tasting before we sat down to have our traditional home cooked meal. Everything was so tasty!

A real view of Athens

Fantastic tour!! Get a true look at the city and it’s neighborhoods. Our guide was very informative, friendly and really kept the flow of the tour as we moved thru the neighborhoods and always provided the local viewpoints that made it special. The multiple views of street art was an unexpected bonus. I would highly recommend the tour and this guide to anyone wishing to see Athens off the beaten path.
