Elena,la nostra guida ad Atene è stata estremamente professionale e brillante.
Con Elena io e la mia famiglia, abbiamo visitato l’Acropoli di Atene e Anafiotika ed è stato emozionante e bellissimo. Consigliamo Elena perché è stata bravissima con le sue spiegazioni in italiano ma soprattutto perché è stato come ritrovare un’amica in un paese estero. Grazie Elena!🥰
Elena was exceptional at customizing our tours to our dynamics and what we wanted to get out of our trip. Her partners who led our tours were top tier and I cannot recommend her more highly. She provided white glove service every step of the way.
Absolutely wonderful experience in Athens with Elena. She made our trip enjoyable and educational. Her walking tour of the city was paced very well and very informative. She was never rushed. Elena took the time to explain what we were seeing and it’s historical significance. When we visited the Acropolis, we first toured the museum. What we learned in the museum added more meaning to what we were seeing as we walked to the Parthenon. Elena gave our family fantastic recommendations for lunch and dinner. We look forward to returning to Athens and seeing Elena again.
Elena is……Simply the BEST!! She is extremely knowledgeable about every thing Greek. I’m talking.. food, history, accommodation, and meaningful places to visit. Her story telling made Greek history come to life. She is very willing to accommodate special requests and is a wonderful person. We spent two weeks with Elena and she gifted us with memories for a lifetime.
My husband and I travel quite a bit and heavily rely on local guides to enhance our experiences. I estimate we’ve had over 50 guides throughout our trips and I can honestly say that Elena was our favorite guide EVER. She was organized, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, thoughtful, and just a true joy to get to know. We had an unbelievable experience in Greece and I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting, whether it’s your first time to the country or your 5th.
