Testimonials

I had an amazing experience with a group of people on a long trek with an excellent guide who was considerate of those who needed more time. We had several stops on the way to the summit where the guide gave us interesting lectures on the history of the place. The excursion to the museum was a bonus, and the guide even outlined the highlights for us. Overall, it was a great adventure that I will always remember.

During our trip to Athens, we were fortunate to have Zeta from Athens Walks as our guide. Zeta's passion and knowledge made the artifacts come alive, from the Acropolis to the beautiful Acropolis Museum, which is a highly recommended visit. Time flew by during the four-hour tour, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
