Our guide, Constantine, made this tour a great one. His knowledge and ability to relate in a well organized fashion provides with an in-depth insight this veri interesting period in history.
Make sure you get a licensed guide. Ours was Athena and she was fabulous - extremely knowledgeable and became a friend! She even made sure that we ate in between sites at a fantastic restaurant, The Lemon, despite our driver wanting us to wait to eat until later even though we explained that someone in our party was diabetic. She even spent time with us after the driver dropped us off, taking us to Agia Sophia in Thessaloniki.
My favorite stop was the royal tombs, which have been kept in situ, with the museum built over them. FANTASTIC!
The down side to this tour was that our driver was most unpleasant. He was rude to Athena and lied. He rushed us through every stop because he booked another commitment. He changed our start time (with our permission) but he told us it was to avoid the heat when really he was trying to return us in time to make his other commitment, made after ours. Then he said that his boss had booked the other commitment, but when his boss (John?) contacted us, he did not know anything about the driver’s other commitment.
I considered giving this tour a lower rating because of him but I did not want it to reflect on Athena, who was a 10 out 5.
The beauty of Athena was she made this an amazing day despite the yelling and rushing of the driver. She is like the goddess, herself, full of wisdom and knowledge, with a very kind heart.
Wonderful experience. Our tour guide Monica was
so understanding and her knowledge was extremely
Impressive. Would recommend this excursion for a world of history knowledge!
