Greek Odyssey

Reviewed April 5, 2023

Dora was brilliant. She skilfully arranged all of our time in Athens to include everything on the list that we gave her. She knew the best times to visit each place to minimise the exposure to crowds and maximise our enjoyment and also introduced us to several of the lesser known areas that tourists are not exposed to but which constituted wonderful additions to our tour.

Dora has an outstanding knowledge of her country, its history and its culture and she is also passionate about all things Greek and her home town of Athens. Her attention to detail extended well beyond our four days with her as she took an interest in the rest of our time in the country and provided superb assistance in setting ourselves up for the rest of our time in the country.

Nothing was too much trouble for Dora. She was courteous, polite and supportive at all times. As tour guides go, she is the ultimate professional.

Dora is Athens!

Reviewed December 22, 2022

Dora was extremely knowledgeable, and we were quite impressed with her credentials as we are both educators. I especially appreciated the care she took with my friend who is 70 and had some health challenges. Dora paced, the tour  that made it comfortable for my friend, and encouraged her to make it to the top of the Acropolis.  She added breaks and brought us water to make sure we did not get dehydrated. As a librarian and an experienced traveler, I was really quiet impressed with the range of her information. Also, as African-Americans we did not know what to expect in another country and she made us feel welcome and safe and made us definitely want to come back to Greece. I hope to hear from her because I want to exchange some of the wonderful photos that we took together.

It gave me exquisite delight to host German and his beautiful wife. They are an amazing company and they radiate positive energy and cheerfulness. Above all, they are so very interested in art, culture, history and civilisation. I look forward to seeing them soon. With all ardent love from Athens, G More

A Memorable Tour

Reviewed October 6, 2019

Dora is much more than a tour guide. She's a well-educated and knowledgeable woman who can provide an informative tour of Athens as well as answer any questions regarding Greek history. Dora is proud of her Greek heritage and it shows in her presentation. Other than discussing various locations and the history on the tour, we also had time to get to know each other, which made our private tour much more personal. As a college professor with double Master Degrees Dora is well prepared to educate her tour customers. But she's able to do it in such a manner that it becomes more of a casual discussion. I would highly recommend her for your private tour of Athens, she's Excellent in all respects.

Superbe Découverte de l’Athènes antique

Reviewed August 17, 2019

Très bon choix avec Dora ! Histoire, culture et bons plans sont au rendez-vous.  Agréable et toujours prête à répondre à nos questions, en français et en anglais (sur demande afin que nos enfants s’exercent aussi), la visite des différents sites fut agréable et les 4 heures sont finalement passées très vite grâce  à un parcours bien construit.

C'était vraiment mon plaisir exquis de rencontrer toute la famille. Ils sont des voyageurs très instruits, cosmopolites, très polis et responsables. Je prends fier de la façon dont ils ont élevé leurs enfants pour qu'ils soient intellectuels, spirituels et amicaux. C’est une visite inoubli More
