Great tour, away from the trafitional

Tobias_S, Jan 2025

We had a great experience with the tour, a totally different face of Athens, going away to see some nature, non traditional tourist castle foundation where Athens were protected, despite we did not see any wild animal, being in the forest was a great idea. Our guide was a great part of the experience, helping us and making it a personal tour according to our own taste.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Tobias thank you for your positive review and great feedback provided. We are extremely happy that our driver-escort made your day memorable and unique and we look forward to host you again in one of our trips around Greece.
