- "Impressive tour from start to finish! Dimitris and his team went above and beyond to accommodate our special requests and try to include the philosophy tour in our limited time in Athens. Our guide, Sotiris, is such a charismatic and knowledgeable person! We felt Socrates and the people of ancient Athens brought back to life by virtue of his storytelling skills and the philosophical discussions we had with him. An uplifting experience and a dream tour come true! Can't recommend it enough."
