A bucket list day to remember. - This is an excellent adventure for the history buff. To stand on the ground of Marathon or the Pass of Thermopylae was amazing. Michael was engaging, prepared, funny, organized, knowledgeable, and efficient with time. My son and I had an amazing time. We never would have seen half of the hidden things without him. Well worth it.
