- “We did an Acropolis and Museum Guided Mythology Tour with Evital and she was an AMAZING guide. She was so kind and we enjoyed our time with her throughout the tour. She taught us sooooo much and really strived to include information that correlated with our interests. I appreciated her efforts to connect the Greek root words with English words to help us understand how different words and phrases were created. She also brought various pictures that she used to describe and educate us on different aspects of the tour, making it more in depth and easy to understand. She had incredible insight and we appreciate her time!”

- "We were a group of 5 couples, in Athens for a short time, and we booked Greek Travel Tellers for airport transfers and a half day tour of the Acropolis and major sites of Athens. Our tour guide, Sotiris, was amazing! We enjoyed his story telling and knowledge of history and the city. Communication in advance of our trip was excellent, and service was excellent. We would all highly recommend this company to enhance your trip to Athens."
