Efi was an excellent and charming guide. She engaged with my sons' passion for mythology and gave them an excellent insight into Ancient Greek life and the other relevant histories of the Acropolis and Parthenon. As an archaeologist her knowledge was incredible. We came away feeling that we had made a new friend. She also gave them tasks to look at after our tour had finished, encouraging them to explore further. We couldn't have asked for a better guide or experience.
