A highlight of our time in Athens

Booking a private tour guide was an excellent way to make our visit to Acropolis special. We could not be more satisfied with Markella. She did a wonderful job setting the stage and equipping us with the base knowledge needed to fully enjoy the temples. She is so immersive with her storytelling and pleasant to have conversation with. We toured Delphi the next day and said multiple times how much we miss Markella. Additionally, she is great at communication prior to the tour. You will not regret booking with Markella!

The way to see Athens

We had a great bike tour with Stelios! It is the best way to see Athens, especially in the heat - much easier than walking and cooler. The electric bikes were so easy to ride - both uphill and down. It is best to do the tour the first morning in Athens as you get a great view of the city and understand the lay out. Ste was hugely knowledgeable and our young adult sons enjoyed his company. A fun and dynamic tour!!

A great tour, but start early if you can.

What a great morning my wife and I had touring the Acropolis, the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum with Markella last week. She is obviously very passionate about the history of her great City and I think I learnt more about that history, and particularly this area, than I ever did studying Greek history at school. Markella's commentary and delivery was personal, fascinating and informative. We both came away with a great respect and understanding of what we were viewing. 100% better than any recorded self-guided tour. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens. Best to start early too, in order to avoid the heat and cruise ship masses, while there are still some shaded areas to retreat during the tour.

Brilliant Acropolis tour with Markella

My family and I (including two boys - 11 & 14) really enjoyed our sunrise visit to the Acropolis & Museum. Markella was knowledgeable & entertaining & brought the stories of the past, and the lives of the Gods to life for us all. She was thoughtful about how to avoid the crowds & which museum exhibits would be most interesting for us. We really enjoyed our tour - thanks Markella! We hope to see you next time in Athens.
