We had a fantastic morning with Andreas touring the battlefield and tombs and then swimming in Marathon. Andreas was super friendly, punctual and knowledgeable, very highly recommended!

Alex was an amazing guide and incredibly Knowledgeable about so many topics. Our attraction to this tour was to see the birthplace of the first marathon run, and it was an unforgettable experience. But the history made it so much more than we could have dreamt of.
