Theodor was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. He was flexible in tailoring the trip to meet our needs and wants and is passionate about sharing Greek history explaining the importance of each site. We had great food and conversation which ended with a beautiful sunset in Cape Sunio. He's also a great photographer! Highly recommend the tour. It was time and money well spent.
