Reviews Temple of Olympian Zeus
“It was really fun from start to finish. I would definitely recommend to any one who wants to see athens but doesn't necessarily need to be as close to touch and wait in the hot sweaty ques, some times its better to see from a distance the veiws you will see are amazing (even some secret ruins that are not so known to the tourists that are also drapped in history we're amazing to see.) To have a local like Micheal with the knowledge he has was amazing and the scooters were really fun a must do!”
“De gids vertelde enthousiast en wist veel over geschiedenis en mythologie. Precies wat we zochten. Hij liet veel bezienswaardigheden en leuke wijken zien. Mooie straatjes. Veel leuker dan een wandeling dit.”
