Joseph was an excellent tour guide . Very knowlegeable and engaging. Highly recommend this tour.
This was a sensational way to experience Athens! Joseph, our guide is truly passionate about Athens – it’s history and charm. He made sure we did not miss a sight nor a detail of the relevance.
Joseph connected the everyday Athens that the modern Athenian lives in with the past. He showed us how the city and culture evolved into modern Greece. He showed us the beauty of the city and its culture.
We gained so much knowledge and insight into the rich history of Athens and Greece during our 3 hour guided tour with Joseph. He explained why each of the sites we stopped at was significant on its own and in the bigger picture of 3 thousand years of history.
