It was a joy to share the day with Sophia! She generously shared her knowledge with us as she walked us through the ruins and museum. She patiently responded to our questions and even had some of us reading a bit of greek by the end. We just loved spending our time with her!

Maria was incredibly flexible with us when our schedule change and, more importantly, when a taxi strike forced us to reconsider location! Some of us found the information completely new. Others of us already had background knowledge, but the context and locations in which Maria put the story together added great depth and meaning. Sitting under an olive tree at the foot of the Acropolis both to rest and to discuss the beginnings of Socratic philosophy was a completely unique experience! Thank you!
