Creator's Key Takeaways

I got a discount by booking early before I even came on board they do say that you need to wear good shoes it's walking it's kind of uneven pavement there's a lot of marble it's slippery even if it's not raining it's just you have to wear good shoes

the bus was comfortable there's plenty of room and I was really happy to be led around by bus it's a huge City and I didn't want to attempt this myself our guide was very informative about lots of things

we're given about an hour to explore on our own and that meant you could go have something local to eat or go shopping and I chose to go shopping because there was so much around I just didn't want to miss anything

I would recommend it because Athens is a huge City I think she said there's some population of five million people there's three different Metro lines we're in Paris but that is a good amount of time at least a half an hour from Athens proper

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear good shoes for walking on uneven and slippery surfaces.
Book tours early to get discounts.
Be patient and bring your tour guide to navigate the busy city.
Plan your time in Plaka to either shop or eat, as you may not have time for both.
