Unfortunately due to horrible taxi experience that caused us to be late we were unable to take the tour because of a 15 minutes delay our experience was cancelled. No fault of your own, unfortunately it was the only Greek mishap that has made out amazing trip to Greece ????????

Great tour. The guide was very nice and ensured everyone in the group was well looked after and could cope with the pace and the heat. She was also very knowledgeable and sufficiently covered enough about the history without making it too overwhelming.
