We weren’t really sure how we could strategically hit the archeological sites and we didn’t really know our homework for reading classical greek art to appreciate the wonders of the surroundings. So my friend decided to book the tour so we can have the experience. And we were all glad that we did. The history and background of the archeological sites were talked about as well as how the past traditions were incorporated to the today’s world we live in. It feels profound to see and feel where the ancient Greeks hone in their talents such as Plato and the gods’ stories relate from the development of healthcare as we know it to the brand names of shoes and apparel. I forgot the name of our tour guide but she made our experience in Athens really great. Her name starts with “E” and it’s a 3 letter name. Maybe Edi or Eli.
Anyway, her knowledge, humor and enthusiasm paved way for further awe I felt during the tour. I appreciated history more so by experiencing the tour.

We had a great time on this trip, it was one of the highlights of our holiday. Our taxi driver was very friendly and helpful; the transfer to and from the cruise terminal was very smooth. Our tour guide Eli was fantastic, very knowledgeable and had a real passion for the acropolis which shone through. I would definitely recommend this trip.
