“Seb met us at the cruise port and took us directly to the Acropolis to beat some of the crowds. We purchased our tickets in advance through the tour and saw it in our own. Seb took us to the changing off the guard and to many other sites in Greece. He escorted us and took pictures for us when he could. We finished the day with a great Greek lunch and met up with our friends who booked the same tour. Wonderful overview of Athens if you’re limited on time.”

Vasilis worked with us to plan the perfect itinerary and there was so much to do and see, we couldn’t even finish it all! He was also very good with my father, who has trouble walking.

Our guide, Yannis, was extremely informative in making history come alive. Likewise, if your interest is learning more about the Apostle Paul's time spent in Corinth, Yannis really made the Bible come to life; walking the streets of ancient Corinth where Paul walked was awesome.
