Overview of your Athens tour

Every traveller who comes to Athens will definitely go to Acropolis! I will never forget my first visit here as an archaeology student when we were allowed to enter the Parthenon! Follow me to a trip 2500 years back! The art of living, the art of philosophy and the art of politics in the Athenian "golden age" has always been an inspiration and a challenge for me. Furthermore, the Athenian Agora is one of my favourite sites! A beautiful park, so near the Acropolis but never crowded, with the figure of the best preserved greek temple and the remains of political buildings. Finally, come with me inside Attalos stoa, an ancient shopping house!

Nota was one of the best guides we have ever utilized. Extremely knowledgeable, and both willing and able to adjust the tour to accomodate our specific questions and to focus on our areas of interest based on our questions. She went deep with us on multiple aspects of Greek history, archeological details, religious practices, etc. There is so much to see at these sites, and we only had half a day. She knew where the important stuff was located, and also how to navigate the massive crowds. Her command of English allowed us to easily understand her, and she was very personable and easy to interact with. Her great love for Athens and her pride in the Greek people in general was infectious. We left the tour with a real appreciation for the meaning of these sites. She also had some excellent recommendations for authentic restaurants when we asked at the end of the tour. The whole experience was very good, and we would highly recommend her.

Nota is a very knowledgeable guide and very personable! We enjoyed this tour very much. It was a perfect introduction to the history of Athens and the city. We visited the Acropolis museum the day before and that was a good way to start with this tour the next day.

Nota was an excellent and flexible guide. The weather was a bit rainy and windy but she agreed to continue with us and it did clear up. She rearranged the order of seeing the ancient agora and the Acropolis because of the crowds and that also worked out very well. Her English was excellent and her explanations very informative. She picked out the important points of interest to fit them into a 3 hour tour. She also answered questions about modern day life in Athens. We could not have been more pleased.
