Magical Acropolis with our French-speaking guide Kimon - Our guide Kimon was great: pleasant voice, humor, speech adapted to all audiences (children, adults) and a well-paced visit that was both cool and in the shade at the right times but also with lots of exciting stories. A superb afternoon ended with free time at the top of the acropolis with an extraordinary view which we were able to enjoy for a long time.
