“We had been to the Acropolis before and spent our time walking around with a map. It was so much better with Becky because she explained the history and details of what we were looking at while we were looking at it. It was crowded and she could maneuver us through the people to get the best vantage points. It was also nice to be with her in the museum for the same reason. We could have spent hours there wandering around, but she showed us the highlights and explained them while we were there. Then we continued on our own for awhile.”
