Everybody tours the Acropolis and the Parthenon, and everybody should. But as a result, wonderful tours like this one can be overlooked. The Agora is a neighborhood beside the Parthenon. It's where Socrates walked, where the Apostle Paul preached, and more. It has its own gorgeous little temple, and a larger building constructed in the 1950s as a replica of what use to be here. Sophia gives a great tour: personal, informative, articulate, passionate, full of details. We did not really know what we were signing up for with the Ancient Agora tour, but we ended up enjoyed both Sophia and the tour enormously.

Sophia had great breadth and depth of the history of the Agora and the surrounding area. She made the history come alive. We had an interest in Socrates and Plato and she shared new information with us. She managed to our pace and time. She helped us finding a taxi to our ship. All in all it was a fun and exciting morning.

Our Ancient Agora tour with Sofia was fantastic. She is an excellent guide who went beyond our expectations, conducting an educational, entertaining, and personalized tour. She is very experienced, with a vast knowledge of Ancient Greece in all aspects. We had wonderful conversations which described and compared modern and Ancient civilizations. We have taken several Context Travel tours in different cities around the world and they never disappoint. This is no exception. Thank you Sofia for your dedication and effort in making our tour a wonderful experience.
