What a wonderful tour. Yiouli was so knowledgeable and energetic, she made the history come alive. She was also very attentive to our little group, making sure both the adults and teens were taken care of. Thank you so much for making the afternoon a fantastic experience. We are so glad to have had the time with you!

We had an amazing tour of the Acropolis with Alexandros! His deep knowledge of the myths and history of both the Acropolis and Athens, combined with his engaging storytelling, truly brought the site to life and made us feel connected to its ancient and modern significance. The pace of the tour was perfect—informative without being overwhelming—and we walked away with a much deeper appreciation of the Acropolis and its role in Greek history. We highly recommend Alexandros. He is an engaging and knowledgeable guide.
