Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We spent a lovely afternoon with Spyros who was very enthusiastic and knowldgeable about Athens. He shared fascinating stories about the city’s history, culture, and hidden corners that we would never have discovered on our own. What we especially appreciated was how he connected ancient history with modern life in Athens. The tour felt very personal, relaxed, and engaging rather than like a standard scripted walk. Spyros answered all our questions with great patience and passion, and you could really feel how much he loves his city. If you want to experience Athens beyond the typical tourist highlights, we can highly recommend a tour with Spyros. It was informative, enjoyable, and a perfect way to spend an afternoon in this beautiful city."
"We had a great tour with Alex of the Acropolis and Acropolis museum. It’s a definite necessity to have a guide at these because you just can’t get a feel for what you’re seeing otherwise. Alex was great with our group that included a 4 year old and made It fun for all. We learned so much and loved how he incorporated his own materials about how things used to look as well as the Greek mythology connected to what we were seeing and what life was like back then. Highly recommend Alex for these private tours. Be sure to get your tickets for both of these venues in advance. Thanks for a great experience!"
"Our family really enjoyed the time we spent with Dionysis. He went out of his way to show us all around Athens, answering all of our questions and giving us so much food for thought. He was incredibly knowledgeable, in fact, the only question he couldn’t answer was about tree identification- understandable as it’s not his expertise! We ended the tour with a sunset view of the Acropolis, and a recommendation for a restaurant that blew us away with good food and hospitality. I’d recommend a tour with Dionysis to anyone who values history and has a curious mind! "

"We booked our tour with Dionysis and very much appreciated his flexibility in adjusting the schedule once we had some conflicting opportunities for our last day in Athens! He has a wide range of knowledge on history, culture and anthropology, and we especially appreciated the dive into Greek mythology! Our only suggestion would be to stick to 3 hours maximum as we got to a point of feeling a but overwhelmed with all the information. And while adding lunch is a nice touch, it added a lot of time and took us into an area of Athens that we were less interested in. We would have wanted an option to just peel off and head back to our neighborhood for lunch. But thanks so much for a great educational and interesting experience!"
"Evanthia exceeded our expectations! We hoped that we would come away with a better understanding of the Acropolis and she not only provided the facts and stories, but also shared the passion and caring that the Greeks have for their history. She also did a great job of balancing details and historical significance without overwhelming our capacity to absorb the information provided. We strongly recommend Evanthia for anyone wanting to maximize their time at the Acropolis."
"Markella is so very friendly, she met us with a big smile & a welcome to Greece. She is very passionate about her country, which was lovely to hear. Her knowledge of Greek history/mythology was superb! She explained things in good detail and surprised us with lots of facts. If we'd gone on our own to the Acropolis, we'd have missed so many vital facts & information. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Markella, you truly made our experience so much better."
"My colleagues and I had an amazing experience at the Agora, with Ioannis as our guide. He shared fascinating stories about the historical area and took us to a hidden spot known mostly to locals, where we enjoyed a stunning view of the Acropolis — even more magical at night. I went back with 2 colleagues to have dinner on my last night in Athens. Absolutely 10/10 recommend him for anyone visiting!"
"We had a great guided tour of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum with Alex. He was very engaging, knowledgeable and so effortlessly brought ancient history and Greek mythology to life. He also helped us understand the significance of the museum and its connection to the Acropolis, something we might not have fully appreciated on our own. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a meaningful visit."
"We completely enjoyed our time with Dionysis. He is so knowledgeable about Greek history and mythology, and viewing the archeological sites with him really brought the history to life for us first-time visitors to Athens. His English is excellent, we had no trouble taking in everything he talked about. Thank you, Dionysis!"
"One of the highlights of our trip to Athens was our time with Markella. She was so knowledgeable about the Acropolis. She was very engaging and presented the information in a way we could understand. Markella was wonderful!!! "
