Excellent tour. Nikitas is very personable, and knowledgeable. He took us to real local establishments where we sampled amazing food. Definitely a fantastic tour and tourguide. A must do!
Lena’s tour truly lived up to the Context brand! She provided a sophisticated explanation and interpretation of the Acropolis that placed the site and its temples in the broader context of Athenian society and the history of Greece before, during and after the Classical era. We also discovered a common interest in maritime history and chatted about her docteral research on shipbuilding techniques and naval administration. When I told her I was next heading to Crete, Lena shared her recommendations for what to see and where to eat. Another fabulous experience with Context Travel. Thank you!
Anastasia, was excellent and very knowledgeable. She's friendly and relaxed, which made it easy to ask questions. She made our visit very memorable.
