This is highly recommended.

Punctual start. No issue with directions to location. Quickly got us registered and took time to ensure could operate safely. Went at pace to suit group so nobody felt left out. Sterious knew his subject perfectly and communicated that well with just enough info to explain without boring....

We did a segway tour for the first time, the guide was brilliant giving us time to get used to the segways before a great tour. The were several stops and he told us lots of interesting facts about what we were seeing. The highlight for all of us of pur city break (2 adults and 2 teenagers!)

It was amazing. Our guide was so knowledgeable and really makes you feel comfortable and at ease. If you aren’t able to decide trust me just do it. It’s worth it. It’s a really fun and safe way to explore Athens.
