Aki was a Fantastic Guide, with excellent historical and city knowledge. He was eager to accommodate our needs - my 79 year old father was having trouble getting around and we wanted to visit some specific stores in Old Town as well as have a nice local lunch. No problem, Aki took care of it all. Made our visit memorable and carefree.

This was a very informative tour. Our ship was late so the tour started later than expected but our team was waiting for us. Our driver was excellent avoiding traffic as much as possible. We were able to see all the sites as promised. The acropolis was a terrible experience. Although Helen explained everything before she left us to explore, it was hard to remember what she told us. Leaving the site was a nightmare with a huge crowd trying to get down to street level. Many guides with their tours passed by us on the up ramp. When we told Helen about this she said that it was allowed. Why then, didn't she stay with us to get us down the hill faster. We were at least 30 minutes trying to get down with hoards of people pushing etc. Although it was as excellent tour, we would have been much better off if our guide had stayed with us for the entire tour.

What an amazing day. Tasos picked us up from the port - and off we went! He was full of great information and kept us engaged the entire time. He helped me get my tickets for the Acropolis as I hadn't bought them before the tour. The lunch spot he took us to was a great sampling of Greek cuisine. A wonderful first experience in Athens.
