Overview of your Athens tour
This tour is a great way to get orientated and see why I love living in Athens. It combines all the sites you should see, from the Acropolis of the past to the bustling center of the city today. We visit the Acropolis Hill and learn how this city set the foundations of western civilization. In the Acropolis Museum, we admire magnificent sculptures from the Acropolis temples and learn about daily life in ancient times. We will see Hadrian's Arch, a remnant of the city's Roman past, on our way to the all-marble Old Olympic Stadium where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896. We stroll through the National Garden where the Athenians enjoy the peace and shade in the summer. We stop at the Old Palace to take pictures of the Evzones, or Presidential Guards. We are already in the heart of the city, Syntagma Square. We continue with a short walk to end the tour at a convenient spot, where from you can explore more of the city center, or the old town of Athens, Plaka.

Eugenia was a wealth of knowledge and information that was shared in a very professional yet personal way. We would highly recommend her for this tour. The tour should not be rated as light activity as we walked over 11000 steps with some challenging uphill to the Acropolis. All in all a very nice experience.

I can't say enough good things about Eugenia. She was wonderful to work with and always responded quickly to any questions I had. I would highly recommend her, and I plan on using her again in the future.
Nicole S.United States
We have done many tours and Eugenia is the best we have had She is knowledgeable and expresses herself clearly and concisely. She brought the world of Ancient Greece alive. She is a true historian, nuanced and precise while not getting lost in the details that allowed us to gain a fabulous perspective of that world The tour was varied and perfectly paced. You cannot do better
