Pick up was on time, there is a good history of Greece and Athens section during transit to the tavern. Maria and Julian the drivers were exceptional tour guides. The experience at the tavern was exactly what we were looking for. Traditional Greek dancing to include the must see adiétalo dance. Must book experience!!! You won’t regret it.

Remember to go to the ticket office to print the tickets. You will discover that QR code that you received may not work in Acropolis Park.
