Jenny was very responsive, great communicator. She answered all our questions, and was very flexible with the group's requests.
Our group of 6 did the Marathon tour with Jenny. She was prompt and was concerned about what we wanted to see and do. She has great knowledge of the history of Greece. We hadn’t had breakfast and she suggested a bakery for pastries at the beginning of our tour. She had great suggestions for lunch for our group. She was energetic and made the tour fun and interesting. Highly recommend Jenny for this and any tour.
Jenny was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and flexible during the planning process as well as during the tour. Highly recommend
