“This tour was fantastic. At first I worried about the guide's approach and style, being a frequent visitor to Greece and knowing something of its history and culture, I felt a little like I was back in infant school.

“Maria is een warme persoonlijkheid met veel liefde voor haar stad, historie in het algemeen en haar klanten. Geweldige toer gehad met meer dan genoeg eten en drinken. Zoals omschreven wordt ook echt geleverd. Wij hebben de avondsessie 17:30 gedaan ivm de hoge temperaturen. Onze tour liep een uur uit door de gezelligheid en dat was geen enkel probleem. Maria weet veel van de cultuur maar schenkt ook veel persoonlijke aandacht. Niet twijfelen over wel of niet boeken….het is de prijs en ervaring meer dan waard!”
