This was such a lovely tour away from the hustle and bustle of the lower town. Hara is a charming, friendly, informative guide. Very interesting to learn about the various health benefits from the flora and fauna in the upper part of the city, as well as the philosophy. I thoroughly recommend this tour as something different in a beautiful part of town. Thank you Hara and thank you for the delicious herbal tea!

Giorgos was a fun & interesting guide.
We went to places we’d never have found. He was generous with his knowledge & time!

Thoroughy enjoyed this walk with Hara. The three hours passed very quickly with lots of shady stopping points and detours into Charming Byzantine Churches. Hara had made us a refreshing herbal drink which we had half way round .Hara knew a lot about plants and herbs and their medicinal properties and the mythical stories behind them.
We had very interesting chats with her. One of highlights was observing two amorous turtles!
A different tour to the usual history ones and all the more enjoyable for it.

We had the most exceptional tour with Hara, filled with interesting facts and anecdotes about the culture! Particularly good if you're interested in herbs and plants, be it for cooking or health. We learnt a lot about all the different plants and what they do. It added an interesting twist to the tour! Something different and very informative. Highly recommend.

We had a great time with the lovely Hara, learning about the upper city and ancient & current uses of trees and herbs. We had a home-brewed tea for refreshment. The light drizzle did not bother us, and the grayish sky made the colors of the upper city houses pop out. This is a different kind of city guided tour, for those who seek something extra, other than plain history. Very recommended!

This was magical. We visited hidden places with beautiful little gardens. Very lovely experience looking at some healing plants. Def not a straightforward history tour but something quite unique. Loved Haras homemade tea refreshment :)
