Overview of your Athens tour

If you book this tour you will enjoy history and fun. It's the "neighbourhood of the gods" ! We will see temples, churches, neoclassical mansions, art galleries, bazaars, local food. The reason I like this tour is the mix of antiquity and present. Some of my favourite cafes are in the colourful Plaka! Let yourselves be surprised by a small island in the heart of the city!

Nata was a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide. She got us to and through some off the beaten path interesting places we would have never gotten to on our own, yet greatly and memorably added to our Athens time and experience. Unfortunately Nata was stuck with two jet lagged guests who had spent half the night awake watching USA election returns and had just climbed the Acropolis and down. We recommend doing this tour when you are wide awake and can fully absorb the places visited and experience. Thank you, Nata!

We had a great afternoon with Nota. We had been to the Acropolis before, but we learned so many new and interesting things on this tour.

Nota communicated with us before we arrived in Athens to agree on a meeting place and time. Once we net, we knew immediately that we made a great choice. She is extremely knowledgeable and told the story of the Acropolis in great detail. She also showed us Plaka, Anafiotika and made a great lunch recommendation . She answered our questions about things to do. We highly recommend Nota as a guide!

This was an excellent tour of the Acropolis and Plaka! Nota is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and provided us with valuable information, both historical and present day. The pace of the tour was perfect and covered a great deal of area within the three hours. Nota is very personable and clearly demonstrated concern for us. We highly recommend this tour with Nota!

Nota was my tour guide for the Acropolis and Old City market area. Communication was great for the meetup, including her wise recommendation to buy an umbrella. Nota gave me a master class in Greek mythology and how it related to the temples and their architecture. It was interesting to see how various invaders over the millennia changed and adapted the buildings. I would highly recommend Nota as a guide. She has deep knowledge of Greek history and is a great conversationalist!
