Great Way to Get Your Bearings

Shahron_v, Jun 2023

Very knowledgeable guide, leisurely pace. Was able to flag specific things to (re)visit on my own. Excellent choice for solo travelers like me.

Great way to get to know the city quickly

We were the only booking at the time and date we selected so ended up with a private tour with Mrs. Dulce. She was very knowledgeable and took us around at a nice pace providing lots of history and stories. We did the Athens Walking Tour the day after we arrived so that we could then explore the sights we visited later in the week by ourselves. We would highly recommend this tour and Mrs. Dulce!
