We were looking forward to this tour so much; it was going to be the exclamation point to our month- long trip, and our guide Zeta pulled out all the stops. She was informative, but in an interesting way, telling stories of Athenian lore as opposed to just facts. She took a great pace so nobody was running or struggling to keep up. I can’t say enough, other than TAKE THIS TOUR!
