Before we even got to our first stop, we had a great history lesson on the city of Athens, and the sites we were visiting. Theodore was very personable and made the day fly by. Great location for our lunch at a local spot out of the tourist area, and some great shopping spots at the end of the day. Absolutely the best guide we could have hoped for. Book this excursion on your next trip and request Theodore, you…”

However, it would have been appreciated if they had dropped us off at Syntagma like the Poseidon tour, as we were all tired for the metro. Just a small note: you need to pay an additional €20 per person for the entrance fees, and when they take you to the castle, there's nothing else to do for the hour-long stop unless you…”
