Excellent guide

Sissy was our tour guide and she, an archeologist, was very knowledgeable and a delight to spend the morning with. We had an illuminating visit to the Acropolis visit as well as to Ancient Agora. (We had visited the Acropolis the day before.) Seeing the place where democracy was born in the Agora was moving.

Operator response

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with Sissy. We are so glad that her passion and deep knowledge as an archaeologist truly make the experience special. We hope to welcome you back for another experience in the future!
