I have vivid recollections of my grandmother sharing her childhood memories from the Plaka neighbourhood. In my own childhood, I'd often pay visits to my aunt, who still resided in the area. With roots tracing back generations, I can provide you with an authentic perspective of the city's history and culture. Warning! My genuine passion for Athens can be contagious, making you more excited to learn about it. I'll incorporate storytelling and interactive elements so that you feel at ease to ask questions. I'll also tailor the tour to your individual preferences focusing on the aspects that most intrigue you. Whether you're a first-time visitor or returning to Athens, this tour is a unique blend of ancient wonders and contemporary charm, combining a visit to an archaeological site with a leisurely stroll through Athens' bustling city centre. Let's explore the Acropolis site, before we soak in together the local atmosphere of the Plaka neighborhood.
I highly recommend taking a tour with Jenny. She is extremely knowledgeable and will go out of her way to accommodate you. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with her. She also was great about communicating with me ahead of the tour so that when we met we were able to make the most of our time together.
The 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Jenny. She's a wonderful person and amazing guide who brings the knowledge and history alive. She made sure we were comfortable with the pace of the tour and you can tell she has a passion for her beautiful city of Athens. We would highly recommend Jenny on any tours that she offers. The best tour guide we've had yet. Tks so much Jenny for making our day so memorable.
I'm a travel agent and I booked a tour with Jenny for my clients. Jenny is very friendly and communicative and a pleasure to work with! I rarely receive feedback from clients while they travel, but after their tour with Jenny, my client messaged me to rave about how knowledgeable Jenny was and how much fun they had on their tour! Jenny also sent me photos and told me about the wonderful day they had on the tour! I highly recommend working with Jenny for your next tour in Athens! :)
Jenny led 4 of us on a wonderful, private 3 1/2 hour Acropolis & Plaka tour. She tailored our morning to include pickup at our apartment and a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood to an authentic Greek bakery and a coffee shop on our way to the Acropolis. Jenny regaled us with much history and many stories. We learned much, making the area especially interesting. She also, gave us numerous suggestions for additional things to do in Athens and recommendations for local restaurants. Jenny's private tour allowed for many questions & conversations, making for an easy going morning, like an outing with a good friend. Thank you, Jenny!!
We had a fabulous time with Jenny. She shared her knowledge and brought Greece alive. She even taught us some Greek! She also accommodated my mobility needs. We can't wait to return and connect with her again.
Jenny was amazing. This is by far the best experience I have had with any private tour. Thank you! - John
