La visite est hyper qualitative. C'est une très belle promenade autour de Plaka en passant par la colline de Filipappou et sa vue exceptionnelle sur l’Acropole. Clément connaît parfaitement Athènes et plus généralement la Grèce son histoire, sa culture. A faire absolument !)

Malgré des séjours réguliers en Grèce et à Athènes, nous avons pu découvrir des endroits que nous n’avions jamais vu auparavant. Visite très agréable qui permet d’avoir une autre vision de la ville avec des explications intéressantes. Clément nous a également donné de bonnes adresses pour agrémenter notre séjour. Excellente expérience que je recommande.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec Clément qui nous a fait découvrir des aspects insolites d'Athènes. Les commentaires étaient très intéressants et les points de vue formidables. Clément nous a donné des adresses précieuses pour se familiariser avec la ville. C'était une très bonne expérience.
