Athena, named after a Greek goddess, lived up to the myths. Great guide.

Published on Jan, 2025

Wonderful adventure by a remarkable guide. Athena was engaging, entertaining, and a delight to be with. One of the best guides we have ever had. Highly recommend her!

What a wonderful day with Phil. It was so easy to walk off the ship and get picked up. The multitude of sites he covered on our 5 hour tour was amazing. There were so many picture perfect stops. The lunch provided at Chocolate Fish was great. He was an excellent driver and always felt safe as well as very informative with his knowledge. Thanks Phil!!
