MUST DO - What a day! We were punctually picked up by Panos and Aris right at our day and immediately were greeted by such lovely people. We started off early at the Acropolis which is absolutely recommended since by 9a it was PACKED. Our guides were soooooooo knowledgeable and made the tour so fun. Stops in order were: Acropolis, the Agora, Hadrian’s library, monaural square, stopped for lunch, Olympic stadium (tickets not included), Hadrian’s arch + temple of Zeus, changing of the guard, finally ended with phenomenal view of Lycabettus Hill.

Without doubt the most well deserved review - 10 to 10 must do!!!! We had fun and they made the most of our day. The food we had at lunch was great, the sites we visited, the knowledge and the kindness of our driver was by far the best. Best regards, Eliza.
