Overview of your Athens tour
It will be an unforgettable tour to the world famous landmark of Acropolis, which has become a symbol of ancient Greece. You will learn about Greek gods and heroes and all the fascinated myths of Athens. I will share all my knowledge that you cannot find in any guiding book about the innovative architecture of the monuments, the scandals involving the artists, the everyday and political life of classical Athens that made the city one the greatest in the world. Together we will travel from the past to the present through thousands of years of fascinated history. And of course we will be able to take in the breathtaking views of Athens from the top of the hill.

Ioanna was wonderful and very informative. She told us interesting stories about the history and the ruins and gods that we found fascinating. She was truly a wealth of information and managed to walk us thru the crowds without us getting stuck in the slow shuffle. We highly recommend this tour.
Susan O.United States
This tour of the Acropolis and the museum was wonderful. Joan was so helpful and patient with a group of older slower ladies - taking us around to see the important sites before the bus tour crowds arrived. She was full of interesting and historical facts that we loved. A great way to see and understand this fabulous archeological site! Thanks so much Joan.
