Alex was our guide for the Ancient Agora and Agora Museum. His explanations made the ruins come alive for us. Alex told great stories about the Athenians of that day and how they still influence us today. Alex is a professional archeologist who is very passionate about the importance of his work. The tour made the ruins and museum so much more interesting than it would have been on our own.
