A Top-Notch Tour of the Acropolis and Ancient Agora - We had an excellent tour of the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora with Eleni Maina on 5/28/24. Eleni has an expert level command of Greek history, the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora. Eleni supplemented her comments with prepared visual materials that helped explain the subject matter. Eleni speaks fluent English and she responded directly to each of our many questions. The pace of the tour was comfortable and was adjusted a bit to account for one of our party’s disability. We give Eleni our highest recommendation as a tour guide. We will tour with Eleni on our next trip to Greece and we will recommend her to our friends who travel to Greece.

Fabulous walking tour of Acropolis - Eleni is extremely knowledgeable. We were able to see a great deal in a small amount of time, without feeling rushed. We would highly recommend a tour with her.
