Themis “The Greek American” was a private tour guide. A great day out taken to so many places and provided so much information by our Tour guide. Ended with the best lunch! Well worth the expense. Loved every minute.

Really enjoyed our full day trip visiting all the must see attractions in Athens. George was highly knowledgeable, courteous and ensured our schedule was optimised to avoid the heat of the day during the 40°C heatwave. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to see all the history Athens has to offer, especially those who are short on time and need to see a lot while on a tight schedule.
