It started with an on time pick up by Dimitri in a clean & comfortable van. Our guide Nota shared her vast knowledge with us & took us through the Acropolis, Museum & Plaka. We would highly recommend her!

Exceptional tour. Nota very pleasant and knowledgeable. Both her and the driver were courteous and enjoyable to be with. Highly rate the time we were with them.
Martha K.
Nota did a tour of Athens for us on November 7, my group of 6 . She arranged for us to be picked up at the ship, a tour of the Acropolis and Pantheon as well as a panoramic city tour. Walking around the Acropolis with her was amazing. Her knowledge of the Acropolis Hill, the Pantheon and the City Tour was extensive. We also had one of our group with mobility issues and she helped us navigate that. I highly recommend Nota.
