Dear Nabil, thank you for sharing this review and giving us the opportunity to share some facts. It’s a really unfair review and we need to set the record straight.
The guide was delayed 10’, which can easily happen, in a mega city like Athens and was then looking for the clients at the meeting place. The guide texted and informed the clients in advance, was constantly calling the clients and was trying to reach them while looking for them at the parking. Despite this short delay, the clients were not short changed. The tour lasted 4:10’ and it was just ended later.
Secondly, the tour was adapted at the needs of the two daughters of the clients. The guide explained the historical background in an explicit and adapted to the cognitive level (about the age of 10 or 12) of the two youngsters language, answered repeatedly to their questions and even translated in French the meaning of their Greek names. When the children got tired (which is only natural for a physically demanding 4 hours tour), the guide accommodated their need for rest by offering them a break in the little garden by the Acropolis entrance and taking afterwards a slower pace down to the museum.
As “unfriendly” should be interpreted by the client, the part where the guide did not entertain the opinion of one of the youngsters on god Poseidon. The girl was insisting on a version of the myth that she had read on the fiction book of Percy Jackson. The guide kindly explained that that was not the official version of the mythology. The girl however, insisted and wanted to have it her way.
We feel that his review is the very result of the guide not abiding to her capricious version of the Greek mythology. Even if our young travelers want to have a special image of the Greek Mythology, our role is to always speak the truth.
