Tour guide Nico personable, articulate and empathetic to our dealing with extreme temperatures and blazing sunshine. Friendly and knowledgeable. We travel often as friends - two couples -we are in our mid 70s in good health. Highlight: views of walk up to Parthenon. Plus was our Guide accommodated alternative route and meet up. Brief break stop at local cafe for complimentary lemonaid -see photos below- was a photo op.
