Zeer goed georganiseerd door Athenian Tours. We waren met kleine groep van 19 personen, zeer leuk dat de gids Natasha in het begin iedereen vroeg zich even voor te stellen. De gids was zeer goed, vriendelijk, sprak duidelijk en langzaam Engels, ze gaf veel informatie en was heel bereid vragen te beantwoorden. Ze vertelde dingen waar we zonder de begeleiding anders gewoon waren voorbij gelopen. De toer duurde ongeveer 2u wat voor ons voldoende was en eindigde bovenop de Akropolis.

De reservatie is vlot verlopen. De ontvangen informatie via e-mail bleek correct te zijn eenmaal we op de aangeduidde plaats en het aangeduidde uur aankwamen. De gids had kennis van zaken en zorgde voor de groep. 2 uur lang heeft de gids geen minuut gezwegen en vertelde ons alles wat hij wist over de Akropolis, de omgeving, de tempels,... Een échte aanrader en verrijking. Zonder gids zouden wij de Akropolis zeker niet bezoeken.
