Our guide was AMAZING!!! We had so much fun and learned a lot about the city and culture. Highly recommended!!
My clients raved about this private tour. George Kontoulis did an incredible job! He is so knowledgeable on the history/architecture of Athens and the markets including small local shops selling local goods. Would highly recommend this tour.
