Croatia, Greece & Turkey Private and Small Group Walking Tours
Follow the traces of past civilizations and empires
Located on the edge of Europe and Asia, Greece and Turkey straddle two worlds. For Greece, it’s antiquity and modernity—its capital Athens, as well as its many islands, boast ruins of the ancient Greek civilization that spawned many Western fields of thought, including philosophy, mathematics, politics, science, and theater.
Turkey’s dual nature comes out of its geography: it’s split between the European and Asian continents, and this mix of different cultures shaped Turkey’s ’s history. Most notably, the country was dominated by the Ottoman Empire, which controlled parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe from the 14th until the early 20th centuries. Their former glory is reflected in the eastern and western influences found in Istanbul.

Maria was spectacular. As a professor of Theatre history, I appreciated her depth of knowledge in Greek history and archaeology, particularly with regard to the Theatre of Dionysus. Her knowledge of archeological methods and cultural history made for one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had. Our family had a wonderful time with her. Thanks, Maria!

We had a fantastic tour of the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Our tour guide was Stella. Stella is so knowledgeable and shared so much history with us. Stella was in communication with us the day prior to our tour, confirming our meeting area and time. She was at our meeting area when we arrived. We enjoyed a beautiful walk up to the Acropolis. We stopped along the way to discuss anything that interested us. Stella had our tickets all ready to go and she worked her way into the line seamlessly. It is of course very crowded even when you go early but we were able to work our way up to the top, again stopping for photos and mini history lessons along the way. After seeing everything at the acropolis, we worked our way down and went into the acropolis museum. This is a must see. Stella once again shared history and the architectural details of the museum. It is truly impressive and not to miss. I would recommend Context tours and ask for Stella if you do. Having a private tour is the way to go!
