Maria made the history of Socrates and Plato come alive as we walked around the site of the first academy established for learning by Plato. She’s very knowledgeable and made this tour fun

The tour with guide Smaro was excellent. There were only three guests in the group so it was more like a personal tour than a group one. Smaro was a wonderful guide: so knowledgeable about the Acropolis and Greek history and caring of her guests. She explained everything very clearly and was able to answer any questions we had with plenty of detail but without so much that it felt like “over kill”. The Acropolis has such an iconic place in Greek history and it was wonderful to be there. The walking surfaces of the Acropolis can be very slippery and Smaro was frequently reminding us to take care and suggesting which way to go to avoid the most risky sections of the path. It was very windy and cold in exposed areas so it is probably advisable to have a wind jacket handy - just in case. The downside though was the number of people and large groups. The paths up and down were so crowded that it was potentially dangerous for many if any one person slipped and fell. Overall an excellent tour with an excellent guide.

Popi is an excellent guide, experienced, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Ww loved every moment with her and we now have a much better understanding of Greece.
