I had a wonderful time visiting the historic city of Athens, especially the Acropolis. Thanks to our tour guide Mikaela, I learned a lot from her.

We saved this tour for our last day in Athens so that we could see some the sites we missed earlier in our week. We were warned by multiple people before going on the tour that the ascent to the acropolis would be hard but we ended up going on the coolest day of our trip and our tour guide Efi was really good at pulling us over for breaks so that it was easier than expected. Iliana is a great tour guide, and super insightful. We hadn't walked through Plaka yet so we were excited to explore the neighborhood with a tour guide. Christos, our driver, was also very impressive in driving through the narrow streets of central Athens with ease. We were overall very happy with tour and would recommend to anyone wishing to see a lot of the central points of Athens.
