Nous avons visité l'Acropole par nous-mêmes (ce qui nous a semblé le plus simple) mais nous voulions trouver un moyen rapide, simple, efficace, sûr et convivial de découvrir la ville d'Athènes: Alternative Athens nous a permis de faire cela grâce à notre guide Haris qui est d'une grande gentillesse et d'une grande compétence. A noter également que la réservation et le paiement par internet se sont faits sans surprise. A recommander +++
