“This experience is like three tours in one! We had a fantastic day with a very knowledgable guide. The first part was a walking tour through the city, then we met up with more people before heading up to the hill to the ruins and ended our day with a tour of the Acropolis museum (which was only the two of us with our guide).

Tina walked us through the museum and did an excellent job of making the connections between what we had just seen throughout the ruins and…”
