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!
A delicant mixture of history, architecture, culture and local food, all woven together by Yorgos astounding ability to tell stories. My little brother, not the type to be fascinated with anything but football was impressed by how much he enjoyed the tour. After the tour we all had a feeling we had gotten to know the city through a perspective that other tourists around us were not able to. Great experience, can recommend Yorgos.
We truly can't begin to fully express how wonderful Voula was on our food tour! From the minute we met her, she made us feel like family. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about Greek foods, she also shared with us historical and cultural information. She paced the tour perfectly, and we were able to try so many delicious foods. My elderly mother was supposed to be on the tour (which Voula welcomed and helped us plan for!), but at the last minute, was unable to make it. Voula sent us back to our place with food she could try. The tour was worth every penny, thanks to Voula!
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.
