"We had the best tour guide I have ever met. She was very smart and could have been an actress with her voice and inflections."

"Our group of 18 took a private tour of the Athens coastline, including to Sounio, where we saw the sunset over the Aegean Sea from Poseidon's temple, and Lake Vouliagmeni. Our fantastic tour guide was knowledgeable, informative and polite! He even let us linger for an extra hour or so to fully enjoy the sites. Highly recommend!"
