Great sites of the city and stories of Greek gods

Walking the city center and hearing stories of the Greek myths and legends was a great way to get to know the city. The stories were well told. I recommend this tour if you like myths and want to see some areas that are not just for tourists.

Was a great tour through the city and enjoyed seeing the different neighborhoods. Guide was lovely and new her stuff. Not exactly what we expected - we thought it might be more geared towards the kids and mythology, but it was still a good tour.
