The tour started at the Monastiraki metro station. This allowed our guide,Sophia, to give us an overview of how Athens had grown over the centuries. As we walked, she pointed out many interesting locations and points of history, before we entered the Agora. It was a great introductory overview of Athens and the Agora. But before you take this tour I recommend that you download and listen to Context's introductory lecture. Then you could take advantage of Sophia's extensive knowledge as an archeologist.

The private tour started in Monastiraki neighborhood with Greek coffee, moved onto pastries, and finished in an authentic Greek Taverna with a 4 course lunch the locals would eat for Lent. Since the tour started at 9 am we saw what locals would eat in the morning and lunch. Our guide was a native Athenian with incredible knowledge about local food history. We had a honey tasting with 8 distinctive flavors and colors and a pastry tasting.
