Having a 4-hour private... - Having a 4-hour private walking tour was the best experience. There were so many people and I think by having just 4 people on our tour with the guide was the perfect experience. Our guide was amazing.

Parthenon: Well worth it - Guide was first class and very friendly. Made the climb up effortless (with well-planned talk breaks) and was extremely knowledgeable . Whole experience was well worth the 42 year wait I have had to visit The Parthenon
