Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Ioannis’ tour of Athens was highly recommended by our friends from the USA- and we now know why! Ioannis was wonderful; as he was not only knowledgeable and loves his home city of Athens, we could tell he loves traveling and helping tourists to enjoy Athens- and all the highlights and “hidden gems” he pointed out. While the tour was set for a specific timeframe, Ioannis went above and beyond and allowed for breaks for one member of our group who was medically fragile requiring a slower tour… and he allowed time for us sit down for midday refreshing drinks and a snack. He particularly shared all he knew about the history of Athens and the better restaurants that we would’ve otherwise not known about. We highly recommend this very personalized tour to anyone looking for a great guide to learn all about Athens! Thank you, Ioannis😊❤️ "
"Our tour off the beaten path in Athens with Thomas was fun and educational. We walked through at least four neighborhoods. He speaks excellent English. He’s exceptionally knowledgeable about history, culture and Greek personalities real and fictional in film. I liked his flexibility to follow our interests. His route planning was spot on. He used our pre-tour preference form to craft the tour, notably avoiding a genre of sites we didn’t want to visit. His familiarity with niche, delicious and quintessential Greek eateries that we would never find on our own, is another plus for hiring Thomas. "
"Arianna gave my mother and I a wonderful tour of the Acropolis and museum. She has a deep knowledge of the history and connected many historical facts to modern times via Greek language. Going to see this important site would have been almost pointless without her guiding what we were seeing and its significance to ancient Athenian culture. Having her give the highlights of the museum was especially helpful as there are so many artifacts it would be hard to know which to focus on. To top things off she gave us a great recommendation for local gyros and snacks! Highly recommend Arianna to make your Acropolis visit educational and memorable. "

"From start to finish, Evanthia made our tour unforgettable. Her extensive knowledge brought every detail to life, while her warm, personable approach made us feel genuinely welcomed. She was incredibly accommodating, going out of her way to help us and adapt to our group's needs. Beyond being informative, she kept us entertained throughout—her passion for sharing the experience was infectious. Evanthia is exactly the kind of guide who transforms a good tour into a truly memorable one. Highly recommended!"
"Arianna guided us on a tour of the acropolis Hill and the acropolis Museum. Her knowledge of the history and architecture of the Acropolis is astounding. Over the course of five hours she was never at a loss for interesting descriptions and historical background of the things we were seeing. She happily and thoroughly answered every question that we had and she was able to keep our teenagers engaged the entire time. She is tireless and very professional. Highly recommended."
"We are a family of 5 with young adult children and we thoroughly enjoyed Alex's walking tour of Athens. He was extremely knowledgeable about both ancient and modern Greece and was very patient with all our questions. Alex was also great in recommending some local taverna's for lunch and dinner as well as some great tips on when to visit the monuments with the least amount of crowds. Thanks Alex for a great tour. Louise and family"
"Thomas was lovely. He was very knowledgeable about the city of Athens, past and present. He engaged with our daughter on her love of Greek Mythology, gave us a great overview of the history of Athens, along with cool parts of the city we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. He also had nice suggestions for restaurants. As a follow up, he sent us movies and literature in order to learn more about the city. "
"We had a fantastic tour with Dionysis! He took us up and down streets we would have never seen all the while sharing stories about the historic sights AND the amazing street art. It was just the right pace to see everything, especially the amazing views of the Acropolis. Dionysis also shared so many stories about Greek mythology to bring to life what we were seeing. Highly recommend this tour!"
"We were on the Mythology tour with John, and it was a highlight of our time in Athens. He kept the tour fun, engaging, and highly informative. The pacing was great, he made modifications for what we were interested in, and kept us entertained. My 70-year-old parents raved about it when it was over, and my 14 year old was all smiles. We highly recommend John! "
"Our half day with John was much appreciated by the entire family. John has in depth knowledge about history, mythology and Greek society and the ability to present and discuss it in a natural way and answered every little question with interest and commitment. We didn't now it in advance, but hanging out with John, turned out to be the most appreciated activity during our five days in Athens. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Don't miss out on this! "
