We had an excellent day. Nasos was a very knowledgeably guide and had a great sense of humour. Exceeded our expectations and our 16 year old son is now enthused even more about Athenians, Sparta and the Persians. Highly recommended. Guy, Jeannette, Alasdair, Worcester, UK.

When your guide turns up with a Spartan tattoo you know you’re in for a good day. Nasos provided great knowledge to me and my son about Greek history contributing to a very enjoyable day out.
