Patric & Dorina are a great team
L2846TDtomb, Apr 2026
Our guide Dorina and driver Patrick were awesome! Dorina is VERY knowledgeable on all things Greece both ancient and today and made the experience even more enjoyable as we could ask her anything and she knew the answer! Dorina's suggestion on a restaurant for lunch was also epic, as this gave us an even greater "taste" of Greece. Overall she guided us through squares and shops and gave us short-cuts to avoid the tourist traps! Patrick knew all the shortcuts through the narrow streets to avoid the traffic and backups and was able to deliver us as close as possible to the attractions. At the acropolis, he was able to get us even closer than normal as one of our party had some mobility issues and needed to minimize her amount of walking. Patrick and Dorina worked as a seasoned team and you could tell that they enjoyed working together.

Amazingly informative tours - they really bring the ancient ruins to life! We really enjoyed the Acropolis tour when we were visiting Athens, and now, during COVID, Niki is offering free online seminars of sites such as Olympia. The breadth of her knowledge is incredible. If you have ever wandered through a ruin and wondered what all of the fuss is about - Niki's tours are the remedy - you will love them - Enjoy!

Itinerary
Acropolis
Your guide will meet you right by the entrance of the site, and will start ascending with you to the top of the hill, finding the best spots on the way up to stop and help you visualize the Golden Age of Pericles which was when most of the monuments on the hill were built. Climbing up you will see and hear explanations about the Filopappos hill, the Herodium odeon, the Dionysius theatre, the Pnyx hill - birthplace of Democracy and the Areopagus hill. Stopping before the Propylaea, you will have an excellent view of the temple of Wingless Nike and the Ancient Agora, where Socrates, Plato and Aristotle introduced great philosophical schools. Walking through the Propylaea you will reach the top and you will see the breathtaking Parthenon and the Erechtheion temple opposite it, where the Karyatides stood instead of columns to support the roof.
