They were expecting us and got us out the door with tickets and audio equipment quickly and we joined without missing a thing. Our tour guide Anna was beyond accommodating and knowledgeable. She knows her stuff!! We took the additional museum tour with her guidance and we had a very informative and enlightening afternoon. Take this tour, you will not regret it. It makes understanding Greek history and architecture worth the trip.”
