Uncover the best of Acropolis Monuments the local Way

"We (2 adults, 18 yo, 12 yo) met Arianna and had an excellent tour of the Acropolis and the museum. It’s important to start early and we came at a slow time which made it an uncrowded experience. We had prepared ourselves with some background information about Greek/Athenian history and that helped us understand what we were seeing. The museum is fantastic and made me understand some cultural bias I’ve had my whole life: the “Elgin marbles” should be referred to as “Parthenon marbles”. The museum destroys the previous argument that there’s no safe place for them outside the British Museum. "

"We spent New Year’s morning with Eleni exploring the less well visited parts of Athens and found it fascinating, we particularly loved the street art. Eleni did a marvellous mix of history, culture and local life. We highly recommend. Ps. Be sure to ask her to take you to the pastry shop - lip smacking."

"Costas provided a wonderful overview of the Parthenon, all the while, explaining all of the history behind everything we were seeing. We enjoyed the pacing of the tour and were amazed at the amount of knowledge Costas conveyed while keeping every detail connected."

"We were so pleased we toured the Acropolis and its Museum with Markella. She provided interesting information in a manner that was so easy for all of us to understand and enjoy. Her accent was very easy to listen to. What a great half day at the Acropolis!"

"More than a tour. Dionysis provided a personal look into the many complex layers of classical Greece, while introducing me to the modern day Athens vibe. I can’t say enough about Dionysis’s knowledge, the historical perspective he offered at every turn, his wit, and the mix of mythology. So much fun and an invaluable way to get off the typical tourist path, while learning from the eyes of a local Athenian. Absolutely brilliant and highly recommended. "

"We had a wonderful time with Markella on a walking tour of Athens. She was very accomodating of our schedule and even brought some traditional Greek baked treats for us to taste. We had already travelled a bit around Greece and Markella catered her tour to tie all the places we visited and historical references to give us a really complete picture of Greek history and Athens' role in it. She also made it very real by giving us some stories from her own life as a third generation Athenian. We walked through neighborhoods that we would have completely missed if not for the tour. Highly recommend doing a tour with Markella!"
